All you Bluesky people are thoroughly lovely. Thank you for hanging out and sharing birds, bugs, sunsets and more together.

An absurdly adorable Tufted Titmouse to wish you a Happy New Year

Chipmunk on a fence post is an excellent variation on the theme!

A dark gray and white bird stands on a stop sign, seen from the back. It leans forward and looks off to its left, as if checking for oncoming traffic.

The birds knew it was their special day! I don't think there were any Lifers today, but the feeders were busy. Bluebirds live in the woods here but none have stopped by the feeders when I've been out since spring. This Bluebird checked out everything and left with one seed. 🪶

An Eastern Bluebird is on a shepherd's hook late in the afternoon.
