I love the cardinal feather in their nest. “We’re here with you even when we’re not”

The photo shows the inside of a small wooden birdhouse. A nest made of dry grass and pine needles fills the bottom. Several baby Eastern Bluebirds are huddled closely together in the center. They have dark, fuzzy feathers and closed beaks

The photo shows the inside of a wooden birdhouse with a small nest made of dried grass, moss, and soft fibers. Several Carolina Chickadee nestlings are huddled together in the center. They are very young, with closed eyes, thin downy feathers, and some beaks wide open and others closed

The photo shows a small nest built from twigs, dried grass, and other plant fibers. It sits within honeysuckle branches. Inside the nest are four light-colored eggs covered in fine brown speckles of a Northern Cardinal

The photo shows a small cardinal nest tucked among the branches of a leafy bush. The nest is made of twigs and dried plant material and sits low within the dense green leaves. Some leaves around it are brown and dried.

A little nesting update.

Our Bluebirds are growing fast and no longer naked.
We peeked at our Chickadee nest—eggs have hatched.

Sadly we lost a Robin's nest and a Mourning Dove's nest.

Psychic bird spies. #birds

Many miles from home, sitting on the boardwalk watching the ocean, and a random older couple just stopped to talk to me. Turns out we are from the same hometown. #Synchronicity abound. 💫

So many tawny mining bees in the garden!

Bluesky has the best heron (activity) I’ve ever seen.

A color, macrophoto of a Robin perched on a branch in Virginia, during late April, 2026. The capture was taken during rain and the photographer snapped the photo at the split second a raindrop fell on the top of the bird's head, making it appear like a "natural" crown. 📸 Dawn Denise Boyer of Gloucester, Virginia

Right in the middle of rain, the photo was captured the split second a droplet of water landed on the #Robins head like a crown! 👑

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron drinks and splashes water over its perch after eating a fish in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, a weathered log stretches across the pond from left to right. Just left of center, the heron faces the camera, drinking as it shakes and fluffs its feathers. The scene is nearly perfectly mirrored on the pond’s surface, reflecting both the bird and the branch. Soft twilight clouds and the deepening blue of the evening sky ripple gently in the water, creating a striking, contemplative image that captures the quiet beauty of the natural world.

A handsome Eastern Towhee has been visiting my feeder the past three days. I can’t wait til I look outside & see a Mrs. Towhee frolicking around with him. #birds #FOY

Ok I absolutely recommend making yourself a bird bag. Excellent weekend project. Extremely funny if you add legs. The pattern is pretty well done, I wish some steps included more detailed diagrams or photos.

Migratory Dunlin sandpipers at Roberts Bank in Delta BC 🇨🇦 - they’re in breeding plumage and heading for their summer breeding grounds in the far north - in the next 2 weeks I’m expecting the western sandpipers to move through - I’d love you to join me, links - bio.link/pacificnorth...

😍 for the past few years I’ve only dreamt of seeing such massive migrations in action, but it looks like I am finally going to make it to Cape May next month so dreams may come true!

The speckles rule out Robin, they remind me of Brown Thrasher eggs (nest checks out too) so I’m gonna go with some kind of thrasher that I’ve yet to learn 😆

I was delighted to hear the "sweet-sweet-I'm-so-sweet" song of the Northern Yellow Warbler in my backyard marsh yesterday. Two of them were singing; perhaps they having a sing-off to see who gets to nest in the area.
