Just a garden variety. ⬅️ (that is funny as hell to me). Sometimes irreverent, never cruel. Following experts, thinkers and funny sumbitches because their humanity helps fix my heart. Sharing mostly bird stuff because birds are amazing.

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. 🪶 🐣

325 #kakapo! The chicks from this year's record breeding season are now juveniles and so have been added to the population. In 1995 there were just 51 kākāpō left. Recovery of critically endangered species _is_ possible with sustained effort. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

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.

“Even the smallest flutter can shake the world.” — H.D. Thoreau Anna’s Hummingbird deep in thought for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #SilentPresence #ImageAndVerse #ECK #WCK #StunDay #Oregon #PNW #Birds #Hummingbird #Nature #Photography
Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) perched delicately on a slender, bare tree branch. The bird, shown in profile, displays its characteristic iridescent bronze-green back and a pale grey-white chest and belly. Its head and throat, or gorget, appear dark in this lighting, though they can flash vibrant rose-pink at different sun angles. The background is softly blurred with muted natural tones and a few thin branches adorned with small, unopened pink buds.

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.

I saw this barred owl yesterday as well, just feet from where the egret was hanging about. I'm not entirely sure what it was doing, I took this photo from directly below so it was essentially laying down on the branch and looking at me. #Scrollback #BirdOfTheDay #Photography #Birds #Owls

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.
