Chat is that good

The bugs are back

My life for the last week (I think as of today all of the important stuff has at least a temporary home...)

The u of m campus power plant - some guys are putting a big fuckoff sized piece of equipment onto the roof with a crane

Best part of the new building is being able to live out my dream of being an old Italian man watching construction happen

My crush on our biosafety inspector continues to intensify 😔

A Rock Pigeon with a threatening aura

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Over the last week the male Red-winged Blackbirds have begun to return to Michigan to claim their breeding grounds, even though the weather is still wintry. This male is calling to let others know this is his territory.

I've been praying for Crowzilla, now all must face the wrath of Crowzilla

A Downy Woodpecker hoping for a suet nugget (which was soon offered.)

This Northern Flicker was following a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers around. When one of the Pileated Woodpeckers would leave the hole of an excavation site, the Flicker would check out the tree cavity and see if there were any ants left to lap up.

You Get It

A Golden-crowned Kinglet about to bop to another branch while looking for small insects. Even in the winter, these little birds eat three times their body weight each day.

A Dark-eyed Junco (slate-colored subspecies) on a snowy day. The amount of brown points to this bird being a female hatch-year bird. I wonder what she thinks of her first winter?

FOXO1 mention so of course I'm immediately thinking about sepsis lmao

Bald Eagles can have a concerned expression when looking straight on.

Three ducks on the water. Two are black and white with green heads and white cheek patches, one is grey with brown head. All have golden eyes. The male in front is displaying with head pointing straight up.

Now the second drake is doing his display, with quack and foot kick and splash.

*ducking intensifies*

So much fun watching the Common Goldeneyes doing “The Thing” #birds

This is like what if my worst nightmare was even worse

Two great blue herons with their necks extended and heads held straight up in a courtship display

One heron biting the bill of the other heron
