#winterbirds — Public Fediverse posts

Some photos of Purple Pipers at Jones Beach, NY, last Saturday (Feb. 28).

Unusually there were dozens if not more of these shorebirds present, and not only on their favored rocky habitats, but running around on the beach in multitudes with Sanderlings and Dunlins. I suspect the intense cold and snow storms we've had over the past two months affected their food supply on the jetties, leading them to forage with their cousins. These birds nest in the Arctic tundra and overwinter in our middle latitudes. In a sense, by favoring the expansion of the polar vortex, climate change was bringing the Arctic conditions they migrate away from right to them.

One of my favorite shots from 2024 workshops. On my Eagles and Songbirds workshop in Alaska this past Feb, we had a huge Winter Finch eruption. It was a rare treat to photograph this elusive species at eye level in a winter setting. #birdphotography #photographyworkshops #bestbirdshot #winterbirds

"Winter Song" is my new #painting about those bright winter days of lemon and pink skies, when the air is clear and cold, and the #birdsong rings louder than ever.

As well as the little robin belting out his sweet song, I've included other winter birds: fieldfare, waxwing, redwing, and (my favourites) starlings.

Thanks for looking. 🙏

Day 4 of morning shoveling as the abrupt start to winter continues in Perth County, The sun came out for a very brief period, and I was able to catch our first American Tree Sparrow of the season along with a Junco and a Goldfinch. #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfCanada #Sparrows #WinterBirds
