Oh no! I hope it is as well.
Random fun fact, I am related to the founder of Dairy Queen.
This time change really has me messed up, but I am glad that it is not dark when I’m leaving work anymore.
Anyway, here’s a Carolina Chickadee! 🪶
Well I FINALLY got to see an American Woodcock and not just hear one. Sorry for the shakiness, not image stabilization on my camera/lens and did not have a tripod with me. 😂 🪶
I actually got photos of one of the Fox Sparrows over the weekend! First good shots of the red variety. 🪶
Also some dude and his son were looking as it when we walked up. The guy apologized being that he wasn’t sure if I’d be freaked out by snakes and mentioned wanting to get him off the trail so it wouldn’t get stepped on. To which I responded by picking it up and moving it 🤣
Got to meet this curious little black rat snake while out on the trail yesterday. I moved them off the trail and they were very interested in me afterward.
Just watched a couple of Brown-headed Nuthatches get it on.
Also there’s a singing Fox Sparrow that won’t show itself.
hey, this is pretty neat!
Yessss
Well it’s official. Flights booked for a trip to South Korea in April!
Sounds about right 🤣 that’s exactly how Devo was too!
She knows what she wants 🤣
That’s fair. Not that many here atm. 😂
I love them 😂
Quote post w ur hawtest selfie.
Been growing out my hair and got it cut into a shape again. It was starting to look like a mushroom prior.
Some photos I took of them the other evening. 🪶
Our backyard Grackles! They’ve been roosting here every night for weeks now.
You’re not wrong 😂
Ohh I didn’t realize that about the call! I always said the Eastern’s call sounds like a sword being unsheathed 😂
It’s really wild hearing it since I moved out to NC! I actually taught my non-birder boyfriend and he can identify them by song 😂
I do absolutely miss my Spotted Towhees though.
A study I led came out in Nature Cities yesterday!
We used radar to study the role that urban landscapes play in migratory bird stopover. Spoiler: birds use cities a lot, and the patterns of their use reflect social processes and the inequities embedded in them.

From late last month! Shouldn’t have been around at that time haha.
#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #PeacefulSolitude so here’s a Cape May Warbler chilling out on an icy day. 🪶
In Finland, rewetting forestry-drained peatlands could yield climate benefits within decades, a new study by @teemutahvanainen.bsky.social in @restorationecology.bsky.social suggests.
Oh, I’m so sorry Monica. That’s rough.
