imo the best part of being a birder isn’t having a big list or seeing lots of species in a day - it’s the excitement it brings to my every day life, like, walking to the subway and noticing a common loon fly over or hearing a migratory warbler singing in a street tree

despite allowing for close approach, i find that brown creepers are really hard to photograph ("you're tellin me that's a bird??? no way" - the camera's autofocus) so i was extremely happy to get not just an in-focus shot of this one, but a really cute one!!!

Thanks for playing #CrowOrNo this week! Ready for the #CrowOrNoReveal? Today's challenge bird was a classic no crow. Congrats to all that guessed raven! You can tell it's a raven by the proportion of the beak & those hinting hackles. See this comic by @RosemaryMosco for more tips

OOOOOOOOOOOOO OSTRICHES! Today l went on a rant about comparative egg sizes between ratite species like the kiwi and ostrich and the morphometric proportions relative to their body size.

I study bird behavior(ish) so I'm always trying to capture photos of cool behaviors, even if the shot is mediocre. Did you know Black-crowned Night-herons swim?? What is the best photo you've ever gotten of a cool bird behavior? #BirdPhotography

June has provided us a great opportunity to talk about something that has only recently gotten much scientific attention: quiet songs/calls. I'll unpack what I know in the following thread. 1/

For the new followers today, here’s a, “I just discovered crows are awesome,” starter pack: 1) Crows can live a long time (14-17y), and are generally territorial. That means the crows you interact with outside your home/work may be the same individuals for over a decade.

First is the shape of the bill. Rooks have much pointier bills than crows or ravens, with very little curve to the lower mandible. Here are some comparison shots of rooks, crows, and ravens.
