Perfection.
Lovely quadruple-banded Dark-eyed Junco at UCLA
These two lined up for a nearly perfect comparison the other day. A male Hairy Woodpecker on the left and a male Red-bellied Woodpecker on the right.
« Hey there ! Are you looking at me ? ». A Dark-Eyed Junco earlier this morning at the first sunlight going through our Ginkgo tree. #Birdwatching #birdsphotography #naturephotography
2022 was bad for Plover chicks, w/ nest vandalism, drones, dogs & cats to blame…& those who like to demonize this species. We must do more & do better. Community = looking out for the most vulnerable amongst us, even if they have feathers. Questions? Let us know. [🎥@4binator]
A White-breasted Nuthatch waits for the peanuts and sunflower seeds to be offered. In return he will allow safe passage along the nature trail.
Sharing bird photos on the internet is so wonderful.
This family - like yours - deserves respect & protection. #protecttheplovers 🎥: @4binator
Here we observe the Black-capped Chickadee in their most intimidating form. This puffball stance makes the bird look bigger and warns away other Chickadees and other small birds.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Congrats to this b+w warbler (w head under wing) who became the 1000th migratory bird I've counted in NYC while volunteering on window collisions for @NYCAudubon. Her prize: An all-expense paid trip to @wildbirdfund for medical care.
The tropical storm is passing through. The birds are hanging in there.
Please support @wildbirdfund. It’s the busiest time of the year for migratory songbirds hitting windows & shiny reflective buildings across all 5 boroughs. Tell them the plovers sent you! ❤️

#ploverappreciationday is today and everyday! (photo: @4binator)
It’s #ploverappreciationday, September 16th! Today we will share photos of plovers across North America, many of whom are threatened and endangered. This Piping Plover was seen at Bolivar Flats, Texas at sunrise in early March.
Piping Plovers love 🪱! 🍝
The prize for first Ontario fledgling to be reported in the wintering grounds goes to 🥁🥁🥁 Yellow Dot from Tiny Township! This fledgling has been reported in Georgia. Here is a photo of the little one as a teenager. Thanks to everyone who reports banded plovers!
Today is #worldshorebirdsday & we celebrate Piping Plovers who face incredible odds & threats. Here’s to the many breeding successes this season across Canada, Great Lakes, Mass & Maine. We have a LONG way to go in NY, but are here for it. Just getting started! #protecttheplovers

Help. I can’t do this on my own. In our city, endangered Piping Plover chicks are basically left to fend for themselves. Be a good person and speak up for the most vulnerable. These babies need us. #protecttheplovers
WHAT a bird...the Pallas's Warbler performed well on the Isle of May allowing some cracking photos from @jack_ibbotson and @CiaranH13 more on the blog: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com
Large movement of Cedar Waxwings this morning.I was standing stationary&several waves 100+ flew overhead. This Juvenile stopped to fuel up&hilariously kept dropping the fruit.They like to give berries a little toss before swallowing&this one is still learning. Clumsy cutie pie!😍
Always a favourite visitor - Black-capped Chickadee! Lots of visits from this cutie this morning #feederwatch Long Point, ON

A discovery that made me happy: "eyelashes" on Ruby-crowned Kinglets. I recently realized that some of these Kinglets have tiny grey feathers above and below their eyes - the eyelashes - while others have darker grey or black feathers for a bolder look. Never noticed this before!
Despite the steep decline last year, Maine’s Atlantic Puffins and Common Terns raised chicks at double the rate of last year. @DerrickZJackson visited several seabird nesting islands this year and described what he saw as a “breeding bonanza.” audubon.org/news/after-cli…
Fewer than 100 Piping Plovers come to NYC each year & only 6,000 - 8,000 remain in the world. They nest on the sand. Most of their chicks don’t survive, due to dogs, people & predators. We don’t choose where they build their nests, that’s up to them. Questions?DMs are open. 😀
