Sigh I will be taking a break from Cornell's ebird because of their disappointing actions here. If they can't stand against genocide then I cannot in good conscience take part in their #birding projects.

Today is the most ridiculous day for #BackyardBirding! First a rose-breasted grosbeak at our feeder (first time we’ve seen one IRL), then a full-color goldfinch, and just now a Baltimore oriole showed up at the hummingbird feeder. First time getting photos of a BO. YAYYY 🤩

Also, Mr and Mrs Bluey (our eastern bluebird couple) have been hanging out, too.

All the woodpeckers are coming to the feeders now and frequently, too. They must be feeding hatchlings. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #woodpeckers #HoosierMast
This bird has a completed red head and neck, a white chest and belly and black and white wings. It is a red headed woodpecker. You can't tell the male and female apart by looking. It's several years old, as it takes awhile to get a completely red head. It prefers the shelled peanuts.
This woodpecker has a reddish-orange stripe on its head and neck, a cream colored face, neck, chest and belly with an orangish blotch on its belly and black and white polka dotted wings. This is a male red bellied woodpecker. They are at the suet feeders constantly throughout the day.
This is our largest woodpecker, with its red Woody Woodpecker crest, and black and white body and wings. Since it also has a red mustache, it is a male pileated woodpecker. It's call is a lot like Woody Woodpecker's too.
This medium sized woodpecker with its white chest and belly and black a white head, back and wings looks like a downy woodpeckers, but it's bigger and its beak is longer. It's a hairy woodpecker.

It's International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day, everybody. (h/t @neurovagrant and @Nonya_Bidniss )

Not kidding. No idea who gets to make these things up but I'm not complaining.

Anyway, to celebrate here's a caramel crow photo I've never posted before.

In 1979, Ohio (US) had 4 nesting pairs of bald eagles. Today there are 800 pairs. Banning DDT and federal protection through the Endangered Species Act worked.

One of the three nests we saw today. This pair, known to locals as Jack and Diane, are feeding a pair of eaglets in Magee Marsh, near Lake Erie.

Borbness is more than a matter of shape. It's a matter of attitude.
