It is terribly windy here. Found this wee baby bird on the ground below the nest in our big tree out front. It was still breathing . We borrowed a tall ladder but couldn't reach the nest. I just dropped off at the local wildlife rescue. #BeKind #BirdsMatter
One of the magical gifts of spring is the dawn song. Hear Emily Dickinson's poem and lovely bird songs on this installment of

#SongOfTheDay:
When The Swallows Come Back To
Capistrano - The lnk Spots.

Listening to this, tears running down
my cheeks because the swallows don't
come back to Capistrano like they used to
anymore. Us humans built over all their mud.

In really happy news, "my" Mockingbird. The one I put out sliced grapes and live mealworms for, brought its mate to meet me. Can you find the shy Mockingbird? Hint: it is not the one in plain view.

That time there were two Cooper's hawks in the big elms of our old backyard, and they were very vocal. Volume up!

From five years ago on this date. Finches singing sweetly in the afternoon Sun. Wait for the swoop towards the end🥰🐦. #BirdsMatter
On this #WorldWetlandsDay, I remember when we drove to just outside Yuma, to witness a historic #PulseFlow from Morelos Dam towards the Gulf of Mexico. People cheered, and within minutes, in front of the dam, tens of birds arrived.. It was beautiful.

It was softly raining, and this Cooper's hawk was spreading out his wings and tail feathers, taking a nice shower. Video was taken through the kitchen window so as not to disturb. #StayCurious

I wasn't able to attend this year's #SaltonSea Bird Festival, but my kind friend @burrowingowl.bsky.social scored me one of this year's T-shirts! Thank you so much, Wendy! Hope we can make it out next year. #SaveTheSaltonSea

We had bluebirds sometimes, at our old place. #BirdsMatter
Sad to hear this. Years ago, there was a flock of whoopers mixed in with Sandhills in New Mexico. went out to see them for a few years… now they’re all gone… Maybe to the Tx refuge?

A dark background with (what looks like a sketch) of a bird. The bird is facing us, but only one eye is visible. It has a white eyebrow patch, and the body and head have many different muted colors.

From the archives on this date (2023). Scrub jay came by for peanuts. #skreet !!

That time a finch hit the window. I put it in a box, with a soft cloth. Closed up the box, and let it recover. About an hour later, I opened the box and it flew off. #BeKind #BirdsMatter
This was the largest kettle of Turkey vultures I have ever seen. San Luis Obisbo, California. #BirdsMatter
Scrub jay #Skreet! I miss the Scrub jays.
I used to put a few peanuts in the tree, hoping to attract some jays. On this day, I happened to catch the jay caching the nuts. #StayCurious #BirdsMatter
Ornithologist J. Drew Lanham reads a letter he has written to a Kentucky Warbler, an "uber-skulky" species that's hard to find but brings "warbler-iffic joy" when Drew hears them.
