The "Splat" a Cooper's Hawk makes on a glass door when making a particularly difficult (but successful) lunch catch in a blizzard. 🪶 #birds

Anything you can sing, I can sing louder #BirdOfTheDay #Singing 🪶

See a fox 🦊 Post a fox 🖤

Skipped out on responsibilities today to chase a Townsend's Warbler, lifer for me and first first TOWA for our region. Equally great to finally meet @thebirderbob.bsky.social IRL! 🪶 #birds #liferpie

Nuthin' but feets #birds 🪶

Show me your forward facing birds! [We seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties, please stand by...] 🪶

Capping off my week of warblering in style with the Holy Grail of warblers 🪶

15 American Avocets in Toronto area! This means I get 15 pieces of lifer pie 🥧, right? 🪶

Oonk-galoonk! My first American Bittern! #birds #liferpie 🪶

All my best friends are birds 🪶

Committed myself to a 4-day snowshoe trip next week. Time to get out in the backyard and learn how to do this! 😂

Was trying to make some lunch today, but those outside REALLY wanted me to know that their feeder was empty. T'was rectified forthwith 🪶

I try to keep politics and other serious things out of my feed, but what were witnessing in the US is alarming. What's almost more alarming is the way so much of the American population seems to be carrying on as "normal" (Grammys, Superbowl etc). If people don't wake up soon, it's going to be gone

Saw my first cybertruck in the wild today. I've seen so many pictures but I don't think anything truly prepares you for *just* how awful they really are Anyway, also saw these two, who were great and made up for it 🪶

Fox blep? #TongueOutTuesday

I didn't think the Snoot-Booping Party would boop MY snoot!

Apparently today is some kind of "international twin day". Happy Us Day, Thing 1! @heather147.bsky.social

Today is the 35th anniversary of the murder of 14 female students at Polytechnique Montreal. Every December 6th in Canada we remember them and reflect on violence against women. www.canada.ca/en/women-gen...

As someone who practiced estate litigation, I cannot agree with this more! (And I should take my own advice 😂)

What? Doesn't everyone have a shrike on their tree? 🪶

I am HTËB, that bracket for fastening your Billy bookcase to the wall that no one uses Your IKEA product name is your name backwards + and umlaut

Stuck sitting at a desk all day, staring at a computer screen? Remember to get up and stretch 🪶

Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now: Retail cashier (🇨🇦 Zellers) Hospital admissions Piano teacher Piano tuner/technician Barrister

If you see this, post a concert photo you took. Herbie Hancock last month in Toronto. Massey Hall.

Floof you say...Murder Floof! Share a floof if you have one. 🪶

Saw whet owls have absolutely no business being this cute 🦉🪶

As a Canadian, I feel so helpless looking on from the outside. This has such dire and dangerous implications for the US and the whole world. Over 70 million Americans CHOSE this. Over 70 million Americans chose hate.

My XOXO talk is online. It's a v. personal look at what it was like to cover the pandemic, live through it, be broken by it, and heal from it. I talk about my approach to journalism, a 7-part code for being a public figure, why I left the Atlantic, and a lot more. xoxofest.com/2024/videos/...

I break from the regularly scheduled birds (and animals) to bring you tonight's masterpiece: Dungeness crab bisque

Silver lining (for me, anyway) to these super cold temps is that I get these gorgeous visitors at home
