I decided to challenge myself by drawing one of the birds I documented on the Merlin App today.

The John Mulaney “No!/Yeah!” meme template showcases a top row side by side of the lanky comedian channeling Mick Jagger, pointing and saying “No!” next to a stock image of a royal crown, while the bottom pair of images are John Mulaney saying “Yeah!” in his Mick Jagger voice next to a screenshot from the Merlin Bird ID app of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, the bird of the day
Thank you #merlinbirds for inspiring this meme with today’s Bird of the Day #nokings

Stepping into the workday, view from my desk. Thanks, Merlin, for letting me know what birds are eating the seeds I put out. Mon bureau tôt le matin. #switzerland #swissalps #valais #mountainsunrise #alpinesunrise #flowersinvase #orchids #gardenbirds #thepowerofone #merlinbirds

If the weather holds, it looks like we might get to do some #birding today.
These guys are relatively easy to find, ridiculously difficult to photograph. Talk about one hyperactive bird!

Ok, getting back into the swing of things and reviving the BOTD posts!
I should be able to find a downy without too much trouble. Sad they don’t the love of their larger cousins.

Fun fact!
Gadwalls are stealthy snackers! These ducks often steal food from coots and diving ducks rather than diving themselves. A sneaky move and a smart way to conserve energy in the bird world!

After 17 hours of traveling, I’m back in the US. What an amazing vacation!
But, the temp is supposed to be 25° above average! Great for birding today, not so good for the next generation of birders...

Can’t imagine I’ll get lucky and see these today - but who knows what water birds I might find on the ferry to Finland?!

I so hoped to see one of these, but haven’t had any luck so far. I love corvids and it would have been a nice find in Estonia - maybe I’ll still get lucky before we leave for Helsinki, Finland

Good news - made it safely to Vilnius, Lithuania.
Bad news - spent most of the day driving and didn’t see many birds
Good news - saw a mallard (apparently same as ours) and an Eurasian Magpie!

Eurasian Blue Tit
Took a side trip to a local park in Warsaw to find some new birds. After a little searching I found my Bird of the Day, the Eurasian Blue Tit!!

Well, this bird isn’t on the same continent as me; so getting this one is pretty unlikely 😂
Sure is cute nonetheless!

Rock Pigeon chilling on a power line
(2/10) So, my wife and I decided to go search for our bird of the day. #MerlinBirds Well, her BOTD is the Rock Pigeon. In DC, no problem - but out in the burbs of VA? We head to the gas station for the customary Gatorade and snack and as we pull in – we see these guys chilling on the power lines!

One day in the future, #MerlinBirds is going to join Bluesky and see all my posts.
I’m either going to be their best friend or get a restraining order 😂

Ok, now we are talking! One of my favorite birds to photograph (as evidenced by the abundance of their photos in my feed)
Today is a good day 🙏

I’m starting to feel like a shill for the Cornell Lab of Ornithorology 😂
I swear I’m not, I just like birds… and they give me a new one everyday ☺️
Heard these, but haven’t captured one… yet

So.. Ive heard this guy several times, but have not seen or photographed one yet. Which bring up the question -
“What are your ‘rules’ on when you can claim a bird or not?”
Also, who is your BOTD?? Let me know below!
