I feel so bad for a killdeer that lives near me, she lives right by a bus stop, like, literally right next to the bus stop. She's sitting on four eggs and the people that own the property she's nesting on don't care about her because "there's tons of those birds on the property." I'm just so worried that they're going to get mowed over, or taken by the kids from the bus. It's a dangerous world for a ground-nesting bird.
It was so fun, we need to go birding again soon. Oh, wait, we are. What if we went bug watching? It would be so neat. I wonder if bug watching is called bugging?
I’m so glad I got to go birding with my bird friend @teaformybee
Downy Woodpecker
He hangs out by my house everyday with his lady friend.
Alca torda - Razorbill
Another great bird I got to see while in Maine!
@theuniversalchild You're such a great friend, I'm so glad we got to bird together today. We saw so many cool birds!
@teaformybee my bird friend birding for owls. What a great lady!
And I thought to myself, "Do I really need to get up and disturb him, just to do laundry? No, I don't."
Setophaga petechia - Yellow Warbler
This is honestly one of the cutest birds in the world.
Tyrannus forficatus - Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
Scissor-tailed Flycatchers are so amazing, I’ve never seen them before my trip to Oklahoma. They were everywhere.
We had a lot of birds in our area on the Christmas Bird Count.
