  1. I may have seen an acorn woodpecker before, but if I did it was years ago and I'm not really sure. I definitely saw some yesterday, so I'll call it a #Lifer for the purposes of #BirdOfTheDay. Great birds with a great call!

  3. #BirdOfTheDay - #Lifer
    Un jour j'arriverai à obtenir une photo de guêpier d'Europe où ce ne sera pas juste une tache colorée au loin, j'y crois.

  7. AND THEN. On the top of the very same chair I saw a cluster of small mites that, by their size and behaviour, I first took for clover mites (unusual, since it's now kind of hot for them.) But no. They were a kind of mite I'd never seen before in real life: rodent/bird mites!!!

    No idea what they were doing there. The chair was under a tree, so I suppose a bird nest or part of it could have fallen down? No traces of one nearby, though.

    As I was photographing the mites, a bunch got on me and my phone. While these mites *can* bite humans and cause itching (although they cannot reproduce with only us to feed on), this is not a big deal to me because I currently have eczema/heat rash and my entire body itches already. There's nothing they can do to me that hasn't already been done!!!

    I'm kicking myself for not having any collecting vials on me, though.

  11. Mother’s Day #lifer delight! Spring migration hopes exceeded on a sunny and birdsong-enveloped morning when this Wilson’s Warbler male literally crossed back and forth over our path for a few shaded minutes.

  13. After a long day at the birding hide in #Espelo we were almost ready to head home. Hoping a little bit for a sparrowhawk, but then this little guy showed up who gave us some nice opportunities for photos!

    New #lifer for me!

  15. #Black-tailed #Godwits also known to us Dutchies as the #Grutto. National bird of the Netherlands.
    They just returned from their winter holiday in warmer lands and #Arkemheen is one of the prime places to see a lot of them together. So I went out yesterday to spot them. A new #lifer for me! 🪶 #Birds #birdphotography #DutchNature #Netherlands #polder #Nijkerk #CanonR10

  20. Birding opportunities are currently thin on the frozen snow and sleet ground, so @CTGT and I were quite excited to add this Lapland Larkspur to our lifer list last weekend. This non-breeding adult was hanging out with a Horned Lark that had a broken beak and a Dark-eyed Junco.

  22. One of the most delightful birding moments I’ve had was seeing three Piping Plover chicks last year, so I thought this little one would make a good stand-in today for my son on his birthday.

  27. Gorgeously graphic and vividly pink-legged Black-necked Stilts provided serious lifer thrills for @CTGT and me on our anniversary birding trip, especially the pair caring for their nest. Apologies in advance for the plethora of photos to come.

  29. Tree pose. Who knew American Oystercatcher chicks practiced yoga on the beach?
    (Apologies in advance for this, yesterday’s post, and future adorable fuzzy juvenile anniversary birding picture posts. Creation is so amazing!)
