Northern Flickers arrived in very impressive numbers @longpointbirds.bsky.social Over 600 counted in just two hours. Also hundreds of Kinglets & Creepers #birdmigration #birding

Apologies from a Birder, a poem-ish thing  I know that white supremacists have commandeered our nation, And loud-mouthed jerks with bad intent are heard on every station. I know that modern progress means destroying every beauty, And more and more around the world see meanness as their duty. I know you think I should step up and join the protestation, But all that has to wait until the end of spring migration. I know the garden needs some work. I know the house needs cleaning. And leaves have filled the gutters and that post back there is leaning. And the car still needs an oil change and it’s due for an inspection, And the whole damn world has gone to hell since they won the election. I know that standing up now is all good folk’s obligation, But I can’t help it’s April and the start of spring migration. Spring migration, spring migration! Warblers, thrushes, bunting! Standing still for hours, then hiking miles while hunting. Seeing nothing for a day, then things you’ve never seen, Forgetting everybody for that flutter in the green. Spring migration! When it comes, you have to go out then, For if you let it pass this time, it may not come again. So I’ll leave the garden in this state until It’s almost June, I’ll leave that post, the gutters, and that bush I need to prune, Forget the car, forget the house, I’ll leave the march to you, I’m sure the bad guys won’t be gone when the next six weeks are through. Go knock ‘em dead in DC with its nasty infestation! But excuse me while I go enjoy another spring migration.

It's that time of year as birders know. I wrote this bit of doggerel in 2017 but maybe its time has come around again.

Last weekend I presented my research on the flight altitude of migrating Eurasian woodcocks at the EOU 2026 Fledglings Conference in Gdańsk 🇵🇱

Grateful for the opportunity to share my work, exchange ideas, and connect with the community. 🐦

I wonder how many migratory birds will not make it back to Europe this year. A 1000-km long dust wall combined with strong S winds is very likely lethal for many of them. #ornithology 🌐 #birdmigration #birds

As daylight changes, photoreceptors in birds' brains detect the shift in daylight, triggering physical changes that prep them for the rigors of migration.

Millions of birds fly through Texas each year, guided by the stars. Now, artificial light is causing confusion, collisions, and food scarcity.

Explore how small changes in lighting can have a big impact:

Great day seeing #gulls in #Malaga last Friday, my first Caspian gull 3cy!! This confirms the large influx of this species that has occurred in Malaga this winter 😊 Moreover, a YLG from #Portugal (perhaps lusitanius), and several Booted #eagles scaring gulls 😩 #birdmigration #Idbird #raptors

Over 500k sandhill cranes are swarming Nebraska's Platte River Valley!

This 2.5 million-year-old migration sees birds eat 1,600 tons of corn & dance for mates before heading north.

Come along with some geese as they migrate back from their southern winter havens Geese's iconic "V" formations and trademark squawks can be seen and heard overhead as they go back and forth to the south through the year. But what does it take for such a long trip?

You'll see different birds during migration because of climate change. 🪽 Researchers are using community science to understand and project how climate change impacts the birds you'll see.🌸

The sun has set, the sky is golden. Four geese walk on the remaining lake ice. No sign of green. The trees are bare.

I'm enjoying a sunset after a day of warmth and blue sky. There is still ice on the lake and temperatures were in the low 70's F. Three flocks of canada geese we're flying north during this short hike. You can hear them. Misfit geese to be pictured in comments. #birdmigration #birds #sunsets #nature
