Today is Tuesday, which means I spent a good chunk of the day at home, which means... #CrowUpdate and a very special one, entirely focused on Baby Crow!!!

I saw it not once, not twice, but three times today!

First, while giving peanuts to Mom, I heard him in the tree nearby. It stayed this way for a little while. I'm not sure if it wanted to jump to the branch close by or if it was looking at Mom collecting the peanuts. Maybe both?

(1/?)

This fine fellow isn’t the first wild turkey I’ve ever seen, but it’s the first I’ve seen with all its feathers out. #birds #BirdPhotography

As a cat owner, I worry about these numbers:

"The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) estimated that free-roaming cats in the contiguous U.S. kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals "

Wildlife impacts of free-roaming cats: Estimates vs. evidence

The National Feline Research Council examines past and present estimates of the impact of outdoor cats on birds and wildlife, including predation, indirect fear effects, and risk of disease transmission (specifically Toxoplasma gondii).

A few photographs from our visit to the #Forvie National #Nature Reserve in #Aberdeenshire yesterday.

#Scotland #NatureScot #birds #seals

Two sanderlings and a dunelin fly over the sea. The birds are in sharp focus against the 1:2 sky:sea.
A young herring gull with mottled juvenile plumage flies overhead against a deep blue sky with its feathers backlit by the sun.
A sunlit seal, its head well above the water, looks inquisitively at the camera.
A flock of two dozen ringed plovers fly over the sea. The breaking waves beneath and the grass-covered dunes with blue sky are in the background.

Very bad photo: I can't and especially don't want to approach. Never disturb animals with babies!
The black redstarts (Phoenicurus ochruros) above my door have youngsters (I counted 3). They come every year and I have to leave very carefully. The chicks react to my movements and open their beaks. Then my primal reflex: I would like to catch a fat insect to feed them. But no, little chirpies, I'm not your mum! I continue very calmly to clear mum's flight path.

Adult great tits bring back food for their chicks nested in an old tree stump in Aberystwyth, UK. The parents will attend to their chicks in the nest for about two weeks until they fledge and then the adults will feed them out in the open

I also spent a little time with my magpie friends. The older male was doing what looked like some territorial wing-poses

Photograph of a small shore bird with gray and white feathers with a few black markings. The bird is bent down poking its beak to the wet sand as it searches for food.
Photograph of a trio of large sea ducks atop a dark, seaweed-coated rock just off shore, two seated and one standing. All have black-feathered bottoms and white-feathered tops, with an added cap of black feathers atop their heads that merge with their straight, orange bills.
Photograph of a sea snail on the sand. It has a round, spiral-striated shell that’s mostly a dark brown that lightens toward the upward spirals. The body of the snail itself is just visible beneath the shell with two striped feeler tentacles touching the sand as it moves.
Photograph of a white-sailed boat moving across blue rippling water with a clear blue horizon beyond it.

My colleague Mitchell & partner just escorted a family of lost geese to the lake.

Safely navigating 2km of downtown #Toronto took 2 hours.

At one point, police stepped in to block traffic.

Strangers jumped in to help too.

This story must be told

This image captured in 2022, shows the efforts of environmental forces to retrieve bird carcasses and curb the spread of a disease affecting birds in the Miankaleh wetland (Iran).

Rapid ecosystem shifts are causing devastating repercussions on the wetland, leading to dire consequences for numerous animal species.
