Given all the *flails hands* you all deserve one of the most adorable pictures I took of Baby Bird Season 2026. A snowy ploverlet peeking through a little sand shrub. Perhaps a once in a lifetime shot. 🪶 🐣

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

I still can’t believe this Great Blue Heron let me witness this tonight. Those wild feathers are breeding plumes, and seeing them lit softly in the evening shadows felt almost unreal.

We saw our first little red eft of the year today. If you see one please do not pick it up! Their skin is highly porous and the salt, oils, lotion, sunblock, bug spray, etc. from your hands can make them sick. Use a leaf to move them if they must be relocated for their safety. ❤️

Aaaaaaand this is why I carry my high-zoom birding camera everywhere I go in the spring. So when the Ornithology Club students find an American Woodcock in a green space on campus, I can run from my house and get the best woodcock photos I've ever taken. Prepare yourself, I took HUNDREDS 🪶 1/?

A very strange forest-associated shorebird known as the American Woodcock. It is round with an egg-shaped head and a long beak, almost as long as it is tall, which is uses to dig worms out of the soil and leaf litter. Its eye is dark brown and set in a weird spot on its head, so it can see behind it and above it better than on front of it. It is mostly beige but covered in beautiful rich browns and grays in a chaotic pattern that helps it blend in with the leaf litter. It is blending in well in the leaf litter, but in front of some daffodil leaves that help it stand out against the backdrop.
