"Winter Song" is my new #painting about those bright winter days of lemon and pink skies, when the air is clear and cold, and the #birdsong rings louder than ever.
As well as the little robin belting out his sweet song, I've included other winter birds: fieldfare, waxwing, redwing, and (my favourites) starlings.
Thanks for looking. 🙏

Today we drove to Bellevue, MI to witness the annual fall migration of thousands of Sandhill Cranes. Turn on your sound to listen to their calls, which can be heard up to 2.5 miles away.
These magnificent #birds nearly disappeared a century ago due to overhunting, but populations rebounded & are now stable in MI.
Sandhill Cranes are among the oldest living birds on Earth with a wingspan of up to 6 ft. Aldo Leopold described them as "nobility, won in the march of eons."
Major bird-window collision event in Chicago, 4-5 October 2023 - BirdCast
Reports from the Chicago, Illinois area indicate that large numbers of birds died in collisions while major migration was occurring in the area on the night of 4-5 October 2023.birdcast.info
Superior Vocal Learning in Birds Linked to Better Problem Solving and Bigger Brain Size
Besides being superior vocal learners, a new study has revealed that starlings are also exceptional at problem solving.Cristen Hemingway Jaynes (EcoWatch)
I glanced at my screen & momentarily got excited mistaking Hurricane Lee for an Andean Cock-of-the-rock in the news. https://abcbirds.org/bird/andean-cock-of-the-rock/
Personally, I’d enjoy more #birds antics as top stories.
Andean Cock-of-the-rock - American Bird Conservancy
The male Andean Cock-of-the-rock is an unmistakable sight, with brilliant red-orange plumage, black-and-white wings, and a large fan-like crest that almost completely obscures its bill.American Bird Conservancy
Madge was kind enough to pose for me as I snapped this photo. I've been slowly earning trust with a few crows over the past months. They are so incredibly smart!

Be ungovernable, like birds who make nests OUT OF ANTI-BIRD SPIKES. A new study describes resourceful Dutch & Belgian corvids besting evil architecture by stealing metal anti-bird strips and using them like thorny twigs, to construct their homes.
Like thorns, the spikes may protect their nests from predators.
