OMG the smile!! What a sweet girl. She's so lucky you found her and going to be such a wonderful addition to the Fournier family!

Earlier today I hosted my last 2025 #birds webinar for @abcbirds.bsky.social! The year continues to wrap up!

But 2026 is quickly approaching and my first webinar is already on the books for Jan 22. I hope you RSVP today to help kick of the year with birds - and me.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:

But that place also has the absolute worst access around. So, how about you come on over to the pond even closer to our house and claim gold for the yard list?? You’d make two birders even more happy than you already have. Open invitation!

A cute, small white goose with a stubby pink bill stands behind some sparse brown twiggy like vegetation and in front of a larger Canada Goose. They’re on some browning grass with lots of dead leaves scattered all around.

Oh hey there Ross! You’re looking extra cute today. No need to be shy and try to hide behind some veg. Congrats on claiming bronze for your species as our third ever county record! It means a lot that you stopped at a farm pond right down the road, and even more that G & I found you.

A green background graphic features a singing Song Sparrow (a small brown bird with a cream colored chest covered in small streaky spots) along with the "Giving Tuesday" logo followed by "Give some for the birds that give us all so much" above a brown-orange box containing the MBCP logo and words "Support Now."

This #GivingTuesday, when there are so many options & organizations hoping to gain your support, consider the #birds. If helping Maryland birds is impt to you, & if giving to a top-rated charity dedicated to achieving results for conservation is a priority, please consider MBCP! bit.ly/GiveMBCP25

A graphic conveys a top portion with a photo of a Golden-crowned Kinglet (a small gray-olive bird with a red and yellow stripe across it's head going from almost between its eyes to the back), header title "Mystery Bird" and a rectangular bubble for habitat which is "Breeding Habitat: Northern Coniferous Forests." The bottom section is a gridded map of Maryland with some green blocks shaded in portions of Western Maryland. On the side is the MBCP logo and beneath is an icon for >40 blocks and an up arrow for +51% blocks indicating the two key metrics for the map and the species.

🪶❓Mystery Map Monday turns into Trivia Tuesday! 🧠The species from our map quiz yesterday (our last post) was GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET.

Congratulations to those who guessed correctly! 🎉

A graphic conveys a top portion with a large question mark, header title "Mystery Bird" and a rectangular bubble for habitat which is "Breeding Habitat: Northern Coniferous Forests." The bottom section is a gridded map of Maryland with some green blocks shaded in portions of Western Maryland.

🪶📍It's Mystery Map Monday! 🤔 Up for a challenge to test how well you know your local bird distributions? Which Maryland breeding bird matches this Breeding Bird Atlas 3 map that has observations documented in >40 blocks & experienced a 51% increase in total blocks from previous breeding bird atlas?

I’d be so thrilled to host a Snow Bunting in my area!

That’s so exciting!! Oh what an incredible adventure you’ll have.

Hopefully snow will come for both of in a couple days! 🤞

I’m glad your Pho was delicious!

And it’s snowing here so hopefully a few flakes can wander southeast for you soon to be more legit for the standards too! 😉

Happy anniversary! Have a wonderful day together celebrating!

I’m a hostess with the mostess. Pick me pick pick me, birds!!!

A White-throated Sparrow, which is a small bird with a grayish chest faces forward and has its beak open from singing. It appears to be exclaiming the text on the image that says "December 2 - Mark your calendars for Giving Tuesday." There is a hand passing a heart to another hand, a calendar icon with "Tue" on it, and the MBCP logo in the bottom left.

Make sure you have #GivingTuesday marked on your calendar - only 2 weeks away! This year, the single biggest day to focus on philanthropy & causes is taking place on Dec 2. We hope MBCP is among the #birds groups you will support.

Happy birthday!! I’m so glad you had a wonderful and much deserved time celebrating!

Jordan, a white woman with brown hair, holds binoculars and looks upward with some foliage behind here. There is text overlay with the info for the webinar including the title, date/time, and a "RSVP NOW" call out.

🪶 Birds inspire me daily — their songs, resilience, and epic journeys remind us why conserving them matters.

I’m a verified print lover now. Neyenesch Printers will make you one too. I’m just waiting for y’all to reach out for more info and ask me to put you in touch with Natalie Neyenesch, my account manager. She’s literally the best. I have the publications to prove it!

And the paper….literally described by a reader as “the most luxurious magazine ever” and another as one you have to smell (because it has a new book smell) - can you all please give me a second of understanding and acknowledgement about the paper again?

And the stories and content don’t end in the pages of the publication - we have more and more to keep you learning about birds!! They’re the best people doing such incredible work for birds and ABC. I’m so lucky to work with them. 🥰
