  1. Three adorable little birds:

    The first is a male Eurasian chaffinch, a common songbird in the finch family, recognized by its vibrant plumage.
    They are known for their powerful songs, which males use to attract mates and establish territory.

    The second is a European robin, a small bird known for its iconic bright orange-red breast. Despite their friendly appearance, these birds are highly territorial, particularly during the winter months.
    They are found across Europe, North Africa, and as far east as Western Siberia.

    The third is a Palm warbler, characterized by a bright yellow throat and a distinct rusty-red cap on its head. Palm warblers are frequently observed wagging their tails up and down while on the ground.

  3. The #Arctic is a fascinating mass of nature that seems to defy it, and no matter how far you are from it, there's always a way to feel connected.

  5. Fledgling crows: Day 35. Only random sightings of the gruesome twosome this week. The parents are keeping them on the go, flying and foraging. Itchy gets tired of waiting for a parent to come by with a snack but Dozy seems content to sit in one spot until the lunch wagon appears. No idea if this happens with crows, but Dozy behaves in a less developed way than Itchy. Itchy is almost a full-fledged crow but Dozy is either under-developed or just plain lazy.

  7. Blue‑Sky Brigade

    This flock was flying in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, miles from any land. They are yellow‑crowned night herons (Nyctanassa violacea).

    Good morning. 🦆🪿🦢

    20 July 2026

    When you can’t think of anything else to talk about, bring up the weather. Today’s report says we’re in for six days of hot temperatures, but when I look at the extended forecast, I see nothing but heat all the way to the end — at least ten days. My guess is it’ll last straight through the summer. It always does.

    These days we have air‑conditioning, so when it gets hot we just stay inside as much as possible. But sixty years ago, when AC wasn’t common, people spent more time outdoors simply because it was cooler out there than inside. At least in the South. Here in Louisiana, where the heat comes with a side of humidity, working outside can feel like you’re slowly melting.

    Lately I’ve been living in gym shorts and a T‑shirt unless I’m doing yard work or heading out somewhere. If I’m leaving the house, I get all duded up and presentable.

    Okay, I really don’t have much this morning, so I’m going to cut this short. Have a wonderful day.

  17. "We draw a crowd if we’re on a public beach. Everyone wants to see the wild endangered birds run away.

    "It’s a little bit anticlimactic, though, honestly, because the camouflage on the chicks is so good that you let them go, and they run off into the sand in the distance, and then you just don’t see them again."

  18. I found the Yellow-crowned Night Heron today, after help from the people who wanted to talk about free bible courses and were sitting near the tree it was in.
