A plate with three large pastries on it. From top left, clockwise: a kouign-amann, a savory croissant, and a square bostock.
I'm not ready to do a #BigYear (of birds) yet but I'm doing a #BigPastryYear. Here are a couple I added this morning: a kouign-amann, a (savory) croissant, and a bostock (not sure if that counts as a pastry but I'll do more reading; I mean it has frangipane on it). Very happy right now. 🪶🥧

I can't wait to see what Owen and Quentin Reiser do next.
You guys: you gotta watch “The Listers.”
It’s free on YouTube right now & I hope it gets a cinematic release.
We laughed out loud so many times.
It’s HYSTERICAL!

The (Big) Year that Flew By, or Arjan Dwarshuis’s #BigYear, as I prefer to call it, is a travelogue of his 2016 race across 40 countries to break the world #birding record, a random collection of field snippets describing encounters with more exciting birds

#Endemism #birding – tiny regions with large number of #endemics, the best known are #Hispaniola #Ecuador #Madagascar #Luzon #Mindanao, the highlands of #China, #Sulawesi #NewGuinea #NewCaledonia

Noah Strycker opted for these areas when #birding the 🌎. Compared with the #endemics map—fairly well-balanced approach. I wonder is it really necessary to visit so many areas in South America? Pity, yet understandably, Venezuela was skipped, while Cameroon turned out to be a waste of time
#BigYear
These were the countries Arjan Dwarshuis considered to offer the best #birding in the world. Understandably the Bird Continent is covered (more than) well yet, compared with the #endemics map, there's insufficient coverage of both Africa (crucial Madagascar) and Asia (e.g. China)
#BigYear
Was one Owen Wilson?
#BigYear
That's probably why I've never encountered it either.
I enjoy birding from time to time, though I've never ventured outside Europe or North America to do so.
I'm nothing more than a novice, though I certainly enjoy the activity.

We picked up B’s dress yesterday!!! I might have gotten ever so slightly teary!!!

A good January kicks off my personal #costarica #bigyear. For the 3rd year running my goal is 500 species of birds. I ❤️ #birds.
Golden eye duck swimming in Lake Michigan in winter 2025
I feel like these are the fiercest looking ducks. His expression intimidates me just a tiny bit.

Black-Capped or Carolina Chickadee; small bird shown with a black head, beak + beard, white cheeks, grey wings & subtle colors on the white chest. North Texas… Jan 10.
I either saw my first Black-Capped or Carolina Chickadee today at our feeder.
There was a frenzy of activity due to the cold & snow, and this little one kept sneaking up to the window to grab seed that I left on the sill for the smaller birds.
Apologies for the lousy photo. #birding #BigYear =]
