It’s always a fast and furious blurry flurry of #Brown #FightingFeathers when a flock of house sparrows takes over the feeder. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #sparrows #backyardbirds #birdphotography #ECK 🪶

For today’s #birdoftheday theme #LMNOP, here’s a mockingbird I saw at the botanical gardens the other day. #birding #birdphotography #birds #wildlife

Most of the American #Robins I see are hopping on the ground looking for bugs and worms. But this one is happily chirping at the other birds from above. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #backyarbirds #robins #forjanet #birdphotography #ECK 🪶

We’ve got two letters for #LMNO with this slightly wet, slightly ruffled northern mockingbird. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #backyardbirds #birdphotography #ECK 🪶

There’s a piping plover somewhere on that beach! #birds #plovers #camouflage #ECK 🪶

This tree cavity was used by Tree Swallows over the summer. For some reason there was a lot of commotion from Eastern Bluebirds about who got to go in. These are two males, one who didn't want to leave and another wanting to get in.

#Connect2Nature #Birds #BirdoftheDay #Seasonal I loved how the changing leaves reflected in the water I took this shot of these Canada Geese on a walk near my home. #Nature #Photography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #Colourful. A mean mugging Northern Cardinal

If Trump succeeds in overthrowing our democracy, what will people in mainstream media say about their role in it? You’d want them to be able to say: “We did our best to warn the public.” But so far, all they could say would be: “We bent over backwards to be fair to the fascists.”

#BirdOfTheDay #Black&White #WoodpeckerWednesday #Birds 🪶 Black and White with a Cherry on top . I think it's a Downy . sometimes its hard for me to tell it apart from the Hairy .

A private developer wants a road through Yosemite for 83 acres. That is public land treated like a favor. Interior has not killed it. Tell your members no. The letter is written. Then vote.
