While I was waiting for birds I heard acorns intermittently falling onto a parked car and assumed it was a woodpecker but when I looked up I saw this Amazon. I didn’t know they ate acorns, and I’d never seen one with so many different colored feathers on the head. Almost reminded me of a lorikeet!

A Northern Flicker rests on a weathered branch at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. 🪶 Its spotted breast, barred back, and orange-red wing feathers make this woodpecker distinctive. Flickers often forage on the ground for ants.
Have you watched one hunting in the grass?

Rare #GrayHeron documented in #Maine for first time ever
The bird, which is also extremely rare in North America, has remained in the area, allowing more people in Maine to observe it.
by Griffin Stockford, October 20, 2026
#CapeElizabethME — "A rare gray heron spotted in Cape Elizabeth is drawing birders to #SouthernMaine for what #MaineAudubon says is the first documented sighting of the species in the state.
"The bird was discovered Sunday, Oct. 18, by local birder Peter Griffin in the fields of #JordanFarm , according to Maine Audubon. The organization said the species is also extremely rare in North America.
"Gray herons are native to Europe, Asia and Africa and closely resemble great blue herons, which are common in Maine. Maine Audubon staff naturalist #DougHitchcox said the bird's bright white feathers around its wrists and thighs helped distinguish it from a great blue heron.
"The bird's smaller size, shorter legs, and smaller bill also help identify it, according to Maine Audubon.
"Gray herons have been documented in parts of Alaska, Newfoundland, and the Canadian Maritimes. In 2020, sightings in Massachusetts and Virginia marked the first records in the contiguous United States, according to the organization. Those birds offered few opportunities for other birders to see them.
"The Cape Elizabeth bird has remained in the area, allowing more people to observe it.
"Maine Audubon said most sightings have been in a field on the north side of the eastern end of Wells Road, near #SpurwinkAvenue. The bird has also been seen in #SpurwinkMarsh, viewed from the observation deck along Route 77.
"The organization is urging visitors to be considerate of the area and local traffic while trying to see the bird.
"Jordan Farm is a working farm, and birders should not park in its farmstand parking lot or interfere with operations, Maine Audubon said. Visitors can park in a small designated area near the intersection of Wells Road and Spurwink Avenue, but should avoid blocking drivers' views of oncoming traffic. Birders should also stand off the pavement while viewing the bird.
"Cape Elizabeth police have visited the intersection multiple times to remind people to park safely, according to Maine Audubon.
"The organization recommends checking the Maine Rare Bird Alert GroupMe for the latest sightings."

#WordWeavers 2026.10.23 — What rule-legal, cultural, magical, social, or otherwise-does your MC regularly break? CW: Fill in the blanks innuendo.
Bolt's story is titled Reluctant Courier (for the Mob). Guess what rules she breaks…
Instead, I'll go with something softer. Growing up, from flying kindergarten and through her primary and secondary schooling, she was taught never to fly close to other people. Human feathers, which lift considerably heavier bodies proportionally to wingspan than avian feathers, can interfere with the lift of a flier beside or near them.
"🎵Up or down, right and left, half a wing, that's what you need, between you and him!🎶"
It's a safety rule beat into kids to, well, keep them safe with little complex training. It’s not that flying touching is impossible, but it takes skill to compensate for a variable lift field one has to learn to accurately sense before manipulating it by moving and twisting feathers. Think of the sensation of goose-flesh. The danger of stalling, colliding, crashing, and breaking bones or necks is no joke. Bolt loves flying, is a stunt flier and aerial athlete. She figured out how to compensate on her own. She has taught quite a few willing men in her life—including most of the Flight and Track team she captained in High School— with herself as an incentive to learn. Guess what flying tandem means…
