Sweet boys resting in the castle #pigeonsky

RIP greg u will be missed

Sweet Loris and Lorikeets at the new zoo exhibit, they’re all a year or younger so they were super curious and friendly with everybody ! One of them was very interested in tasting the inside of my ear #birds

Honey, wake up, they just released new bird species

Not sure what was wrong with this guy but I helped get him up to the wildlife center! Adult Cooper’s Hawk :) (My guess was he ate a rat who ate rat poison as he was found laying on the ground, but we don’t actually know) #wildliferescue #bird

So nerdy, I love it !! I love learning about puns in other languages

Evening of doodling

Echoes • 16” x 30” • gouache & watercolor on paper Based on my 2024 residency in the wilderness of Minong (Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior)

Excited to go midnight tidepooling in a couple weeks

Saw lots of fun seabirds today :) Definitely gonna return here in the spring for the baby killdeer and to shout at people with off-leash dogs

Another friend to take to the wildlife rescue #birds #redbreastednuthatch #nuthatch

Apparently 2:45am is also open for crying over the loss of the Great Auk and Passenger Pigeons. Sometimes it really hits me hard

Dead trees aren't only crucial to around a *fifth* of all woodland species. They're just as beautiful as those still living. Leave them standing!

Roses are red. Tires are flammable...

#Birdoftheday Gotta repost my smiley coot and sunflower chickadee for this one :)

Spotted Towhee all done :D #mural #artwork #birds

It’s very amusing to me that the paint can key doubles as a bottle opener

It turns out that the best way to avoid being killed by drivers is to be protected by infrastructure.

Volume UP!!! I had no idea how complex the American Dipper’s song was! It has both thrush and starling like elements, and goes through such a mix of sounds. Can’t believe I saw one the day after I brought one to a wildlife rescue #birds #americandipper

I’m so funny

“You can know the name of that bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird. So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing — that's what counts." -Richard Feynman (1988)

I'm generally not a fan of hacking digital road signs because usually they have important safety information, but...

I’ve got one of each for #BirdoftheDay ! Snow geese in skagit valley, and a lovely lady going through her fall molting <3

Spot the juvenile marsh wren #birdoftheday #birds #marshwren
