I know it's fall but I looked back at some midsummer photos of this Anna's Hummingbird working some beebalm flowers in our front yard. Well, the flowers have all faded now, but the Anna's stay with us all winter. #photography #nature #naturephotography #birdphotography #hummingbird #birds #flowers


I bought this mask for Halloween and it’s bloody brilliant!

The former occupant has left this residence, but I just adore Robin’s egg blue. #birds

An early painting with traditional gouache. I'd like to do another painting of a saw-whet sometime soon, they are the perfect small owl.

Found the remains of an egg in the garden - any idea what it is? Blackbird? Starling? Dunnock? (We get all of those - East Anglia, UK)

"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. 🙏

Kiwi’s wild budgie cousins live >10K miles away, so we improvise. #birds


It's obvious that she will stay there until https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/9463 is fixed so that she can scroll through more #birds 😀


Flash is a male Kestrel, utterly gorgeous, I photographed him at a rescue centre a few years ago, being so close to him was such a privilege, he of course was totally non plussed lol #Kestrel #Raptor #BirdOfPrey #RescueBird #RescueCentre #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #Photography #PortraitPhotography #AltText


Beautiful bird. The ones by you are a different color, ours here in central Florida are gray. Here is a gray adult and tan baby going through my yard back in April 2018. I am fortunate to have them as regular visitors most all year.

For a closer look at these incredible #birds, I took this photo of a Sandhill Crane in 2019. /2
#nature #photography


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."


Buildings are extremely deadly for migrating #birds every year, but they can be designed & updated to minimize collisions. https://birdcast.info/news/major-collision-event-in-chicago-4-5-october-2023/


Superior Vocal Learning in Birds Linked to Better Problem Solving and Bigger Brain Size #AnimalStudies #birds https://www.ecowatch.com/songbird-vocal-learning-problem-solving-brains.html


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.


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.

Lead author Auke-Florian Hiemstra wrote an epic 🧵 about his research that's worth a read: https://twitter.com/AukeFlorian/status/1678703433900064773
