And now for a truly #SuperbOwl. I believe that this is a Pharaoh eagle-owl. It's from a privately-run zoo, le Zoo des Reptiles chez Aziz, in El Atteuf, Algeria.

A flock of Canada Geese gracefully on approach for landing on the snowy shores of Lake Ballinger in Edmonds, Washington, surrounded by a magical winter landscape of frosted trees and calm waters. The scene captures a serene moment as the birds glide towards the snow-covered ground against a backdrop of tall, snow-dusted evergreens.

I had a chance to witness the Great Blue Herons elaborate courtship rituals at the Everett Marina in Washington state recently.
Although they don't mate for life, they form a close bond for a breeding season.
The male picks the nest site and attracts a female, e.g. with offering twigs, if she accepts them its a sure sign of success and they go on displaying other types of courtship rituals.
In this capture the male just returns to the chosen nest site and offers a twig, the partner will be arranging the nest after accepting it.
Fascinating to observe their coded behavior.

Detox Doodles!

I am making a habit of drawing something each time I want to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching everyday!

This page is full of Potoos and Tawny Frogmouths, who are simply Muppets.

Sketchbook pages of blue drawings of Potoos and Tawny Frogmouths. The text at the top reads 5/11/25, POTOO + TAWNY FROGMOUTH, and (they're basically Muppets). There are 14 different birds, some wirh their mouths open. 3 of the birds are baby chicks.

there are a pair of neighborhood crows nesting in my back yard. today, one of them found a dry old piece of bread somewhere down the alley and flew over to my lawn with it.

she looked around carefully and dropped it into the eavestrough drain, where some water pooled from an overnight shower.

she flew away for 5 minutes and just came back to eat once it was well soaked 😆

This is the shape of birdsong. Because the bird is a Red-winged Blackbird, it's also the shape of swearing.

It's been a busy work week so far and I did not have a lot of time to go through bird photos, also because of this borby specimen. The MoDos are constantly on the feeders, filling the camera roll with thousands of photos 😆 I try to go through them all each night but with more activity there are also more photos, and some days I am just spent. Good night with this goofball, here's to a less stressful Wednesday! #birds

A very round and proud MoDo poses for the camera, hoping for a refill. (Which came, several times.)

Good morning. ☕☕☕

13 May 2025

Hopefully, today is a yardwork day. I tend to put things off whenever I feel like it, but the ever-growing grass serves as a reminder that I need to take action—kind of like my cluttered desktop. For weeks, I've been telling myself I need to clear it off, yet I let things stay there simply as reminders that each item requires attention. You see how that works, right? Then there's the water bottle in the corner—I have no idea why it's there, but it's been sitting for a while. A mystery not worth solving. I also need to vacuum my office floor. The Roomba comes through every morning, but lately, it just seems to shuffle things around.

"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill." — Christopher Parker

Notice things.

Sometimes, when I'm out walking, I spot something and snap a picture. Unlike the days of film, there’s no cost to taking the shot—even if it seems unremarkable at the time. But later, as I sift through the photos, I notice details I overlooked. When I took this particular shot, I focused on the birds without really seeing the forest around them. I’m not sure what species they are, but I’d guess they belong to the local pigeon battalion.

"This image beautifully captures a forest scene during autumn, with trees displaying a mix of golden yellow and green foliage. The sky is a vibrant blue with a few wispy clouds drifting across it. Adding an element of movement to the tranquil landscape, several birds are seen soaring high above the treetops. The framing includes branches on both sides, creating a natural border that enhances the depth of the scene. The contrast between the rich autumn colors and the crisp sky makes this an eye-catching photograph, highlighting both the serenity and liveliness of nature." - Copilot
