They’re our smallest sandpipers! About sparrow sized. So cute!

I was reminded earlier today that I need to reconstruct my Twitter thread over here at some point on our backyard bird creek we made many years ago. Pinning this as point to start from whenever I can get to it. In the meantime, enjoy this fall Kinglet Pool Party. #birds

“Ehrmagawd! Tree peanut!”
Red-breasted Nuthatches continue to be regular visitors to the yard this year as part of a larger irruption movement and this one discovered the poorly stashed peanut piece another bird had left in this knot.

White-throated Sparrows continue lingering in the yard this year. Lots of hatch year birds, which probably explains all the practice singing still going on.

Yesterday, I said we were due for a visit from Fox Sparrows and today this plump beast showed up! Betweenthis and the Tundra Swans I heard migrating last night, winter is definitely on its way. #birds #migration #winter #phenology #sparrows

Okay, redo with correct labels now. I hope.

It’s raining again so I’m not gonna try to wait it out. Maybe a little peak along the horizon, but otherwise nothing but clouds.

Current view looking north over Lake Erie. I don’t think I’m getting aurora tonight either😭 Face is getting sandblasted from the wind-driven sand, too.

Meanwhile, the sky here😭😭😭

I-90 east of Syracuse is at a crawl.

If you see a bird art, share your bird art.

First double lake snow band of the season! A massive lake effect band is being generated from Lakes Huron and Erie, powering a bunch of snow across PA all the way down to State College, over 300 miles away. I-79 & I-80 have messy slowdowns going on.

Every regular pack comes with 4 regular cards, a holographic card, and a sticker (some of which are also holographic). Each non-Patreon pack is themed around a region - the cards shown below are from the Japan set. #BirdArt

New bird trading cards have arrived! Converting some of my weekly treat budget into supporting an artist’s Patreon has been the best decision I’ve made this year. I get pretty art in a convenient Pokémon card size each month in the mail❤️😊
Always savor the moments before opening. #HappyMail

Well, because it was raining right up until it was snow, I’ve got a nice ice-encrusted vehicle with a sparkly bit of snow atop it. Luckily, temp is at 31°F so defrost will rid me of this pretty fast.

If you absolutely have to travel along the snowbelt tomorrow, avoid I-90 and take the slower routes that hug the lakes, like Rte 20 or 5. Hitting a sudden whiteout at 60mph+ with semis making up a lot of the traffic never ends well. Also, usually less snow closer you are to shoreline. #LakeEffect

This is different from the Old Farmers Almanac, which made a post to clarify they’re still around. I think the Old Farmers Almanac is the one most people know.

Of course we’re 100% cloud cover here. 😭

Here is Houdini and his magnificent tail for your friend.

Houdini never cuddles, but today he spent almost the entirety of my Zoom meeting on my lap!🥺

Voted! Only one tricky local race to navigate where the more progressive Dem had actually secured the Repub spot on the ballot because of some primaries maneuvering; either way, a candidate I can live with will win that race. Was able to walk to voting place & saw pretty trees along the way. #IVoted

“Get the (bleep!!!) out of my way!!!”

A Yellow-rumped Warbler and a Yellow Warbler spar over what was apparently a prime bathing spot in the stream.

Share an angry bird and the curse you think it embodies.
