The red-winged blackbirds seemed to crane their necks on the wire, listening to @ArethaFranklin. They’ve also gotten way more aggressive as I’ve moved west. Hadn’t heard that whirring sound in the video before. #blackinnature (looks like I need to tighten my chinstrap too!)

I am speechless. This is what hope looks like to me.
Thank you, Aliisa Lee Bocarsly, for this incredible gift.

From young, I fostered a deep and abiding love for the natural world.
Exploring landscapes; appreciating the beauty of all life through my parents.
Now, I research how #rewilding our land with keystone species can help wildlife to thrive

I LOVE Turkey Vultures. I once read that Turkey Vultures are communal foragers- if they find a food source that is more than their roost can consume they will find other roosts to share the wealth. No leftovers! #BlackBirdersWeek #BlacksInNature #PostABird

Yellow-rumped warblers (aka "butter-butts") have begun trickling into Wisconsin, and will only become easier to find over the next few weeks. Like crocuses and salamanders, they're sure sign that spring is on the way!

This makes me so happy. And I love that birding will become more colorful in so many ways. This is how it should be. Birding for all! Congrats @JasonWardNY and @JeffreyMWard so deserving. You all are awesome. newyorker.com/magazine/2019/…

For #migration Monday - here is an animation of the first year of 6 fledgling #SwainsonsHawks. You can see mortality is high in the first year for young birds, but it provides a hint of where our California population spends its first summer #RaptorResearch #ornithology

Have you read about the early northward movement of Red-throated Loons and large numbers of diving ducks and seaducks on Lake Michigan? Here's an opportunity to witness migration in person. facebook.com/BirdCityWiscons…
