Debe ser realmente estresante vivir como un #gorrión:
- ¡Comida! Genial, qué rico todo
- ¡HUID!
- Ya está. No pasa nada, sigamos comiend...
- ¡PELIGRO, PELIGRO!
- En fín, ya pasó, vamos a darnos prisa...

#Sparrows #Spatzen 🪶

Flicker takes a bath today at the wildlife pond.

First, it looks like she’s clearing the water for where she wants to bathe but maybe she’s just getting used to the temperature #Birds

well, here is the gorgeous Townsend’s warbler. I believe this is the male. he is trying to find a place to bathe, but the water is pretty deep. He tries three times. #Birds

💛🖤

good evening everyone I was gone most of the day and I’m going try to check the cameras slowly throughout the evening and tonight.
It was a gorgeous sunny day here. here is Northern Flicker sitting on a log at the Wild Pond. #Birds

imagine trying to get Congress to sign onto this? first, we have to pledge to only vote for people into Congress, who promised to do two terms or one term. there has to be some sort of oath is binding.

I’ve read about that. what I do with invasive species is I try to kill them humanely if they’re killing other native species. It’s really a sad thing we have to do but we have to protect the native species and this is not a racist post. All humans are the same species.

21% of urban falcon deaths are caused by window collisions. 🪟

Birds struggle to see clear glass, adding markings or special films can make windows visible and save lives.

it’s hard to describe his feeder what it is is two pieces of resin that are brown and look like bark and then it screws apart and in the middle between the two planks you add suet of peanut butter these birds, love plain tallow suet. They leave if i put peanut butter in.

can you see on the right there is a Steller’s Jay getting it out of this “bark” feeder also?

It’s gray and misty. There’s cars on the right behind the Jay going by in the background because this is urban habitat. #Birds

sorry my altext showed my political bias
I need to stick to providing alltext to non-political photos

We’ve really lost control of blue sky. It used to be that everyone provided altext and if you couldn’t, someone did it for you.

here’s the male Downey woodpecker at the Suet Sandwich feeder. The cameras are really wet. a soaking rain today. #Birds

It’s interesting to me that you’re asking the person who needs AltText to reach out to the administration in a different way

think about that a little more

yes, I agree this altext disappointing. He’s smiling and laughing with mostly democratic insiders. It looks like he’s serving food. They all have black gloves on no masks as if the poor don’t deserve their food to be germ-free.

here is a white crowned sparrow and then there’s a crazy squirrel running by.
I am told that eastern gray squirrels were so much better at everything that they caused the extinction (local extinction) of our native squirrels but our native squirrels need trees, not concrete.

I don’t know what’s going on with the squirrels in my yard. These are eastern gray squirrels. We don’t have any native squirrels in this city limits of Seattle. Someone brought these here a century ago. they seem to be chasing the #birds here is a squirrel and the spotted towhee gets out of the way.

the day was a wet rainy day the birds were in a hurry not on camera for long. here golden crowned sparrow maybe some other birds. Song Sparrow and a different GCS #Birds

that’s so awful. I hope that’s a minority, but as someone who is older and an anti-zionist Jew many of us have felt unwelcome by the Jewish community. it feels like for many Jews their religion is Zionism rather than Judaism.

i only just heard this song

“Join Ice” (ICE is a very small piece of the terror that we export overseas all over the world) shame on us.

✅never vote for people who are backed by the military industrial complex
✅only support candidates who pledge to take small donations only
✅ before they even get into office, hold those you elect accountable protest in the streets when they try to go to the other side

The United States is creating chaos, war crimes and genocides all over the world. we live within the system -we benefit from it: jobs, shelter, products. None of these are clean of this madness our gov perpetuates no matter who is in office. We must fight to end it…because who can if not us?

It looks just like the Jim Crow South? end apartheid in Israel by boycotting divestment and sanctions-vote anyone who supports apartheid out of office.

out of view.🫠

I also love the California scrub jay. Did you know I had them here in Seattle for about three years during Covid. Haven’t seen one since.

This full shot of a scrub jay on a bird feeder shows the bird in profile, facing left, with its body angled slightly toward the viewer. The bird's head and neck are a deep blue, fading into a lighter blue on its back and wings. Its chest is a soft, off-white, and there's a faint patch of dusty brown on its belly. The bird's dark, beady eye is visible, and its sharp, pointed beak is slightly open. Its black talons grip the edge of a blue metal bird feeder, which is splattered with various seeds and nuts. In the soft-focus background, green grass and trees are visible under an overcast sky.

This close-up shot of a scrub jay on a bird feeder shows the bird facing directly toward the viewer, with its head slightly turned to the right. The bird's head and upper back are a deep blue, with some lighter blue feathers mixed in. Its chest is a light, dusty white, and hints of brown feathers are visible on its belly. The bird's dark eye is prominent, and its beak is open, holding a seed. Its black talons are gripping the blue metal frame of the bird feeder, which is scattered with various seeds and shell fragments on its red surface. In the background, out-of-focus green grass, trees, and a building are visible under a cloudy sky.

Our California  Scrub Jays don’t visit the camera feeders very often, but I love it when they do. They seem to prefer the suet and the woodpecker feeders. #Birds #California #Nature. #Sonoma

do you have the Steller’s Jay where you live Mark

one more of a raccoon eating in the wildlife pond last night -so cute.

I don’t think you’re going be able to see this, but it looks like the other Juncos attack or keep away from the leucistic Junco #Birds

The attack is in the first part of the video which seems to have trouble posting on blue sky

yellow rumped warbler sneaking in a few moments at the wildlife pond while Song Sparrow isn’t present. #Birds

The bird is on a log looks like she’s looking for something to eat then she comes to the shore and looks down and then she goes out of you

Crow early today at the wildlife pond. (Song Sparrow is purposely absent) #Birds
The crow is either drinking or dipping food in the pond on the left hand side. My house is in the background. It’s kind of blurry on the left-hand side also from rain.
