Sunrise seen from the edge of a wood with trees in the foreground and farmland in the distance against a blue sky.
I’m definitely more of an owl than a lark but one of the benefits of being a @btobirds.bsky.social #BreedingBirdSurvey volunteer is that it makes you get out of bed early and enjoy, what really is, the best time of the day.
Good numbers of birds around this morning on my first BBS of 2026.

One of my favorite stops along my #BreedingBirdSurvey route in #Woods county, #Oklahoma is at this bridge. The #donkey hanging out beneath it was a new one!

A black bear with a tan snout crosses a gravel road surrounded by a first of mostly deciduous trees.
I assisted my DH @scottdenkers.bsky.social with his #breedingbirdsurvey route yesterday and we saw this non-bird. #blackbear #silverskagitroad Best wishes, youngster!
A ridge of tall rocky peaks is beyond a green meadow fringed by deciduous trees. The mountains are covered in evergreen trees. The sky is blue with a few puffy white clouds.
A gently flowing river heads away toward a distant lake and snow-capped mountains on the horizon. The banks of the river are covered in green grass. The sky is blue with puffy white clouds lit by the sun.
Drove out to #skagitprovincialpark yesterday, one of my favourite places! #hozameenrange #skagitriver completed two bird lists, had a picnic lunch and flagged our #breedingbirdsurvey stops on the way back. #grateful
Common Sandpipers have made a welcome return to our upland lochs and rivers! Edmund Fellowes/ BTO
Ooft. Busy times here with #BreedingBirdSurvey, bird ringing, nest finding and recording, training, talks, events, and adding the flood of avian migrants into #BirdTrack. Sometimes we wish spring would slow down so we could keep up!!! Have a great weekend! #BirdingScotland
@btobirds.bsky.social I was out early this morning for my first #breedingbirdsurvey of the year. In the distance in a field of sheep with new born lambs I spotted tens of gulls - great black-backed, black headed and others. What attracts them? Do they eat the afterbirth?
This is such a fun episode of the #WarblersPodcast! Really great field stories and good hype up for the final year of the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas. Check it out:

My @BirdsCanada birdathon shirt didn't arrive in time for my big day BUT it did arrive in time for the #BreedingBirdSurvey we're doing tomorrow!
Taking a day off from counting ducks to count songbirds instead 🙃
