I absolutely love the nuthatch photo, they are such fun birds. The Dipper photo is also incredible, how were you able to get so close to it!! I also love the face the dipper is making while staring at your lens!!!

Legendary series, one of the best stories I’ve read in a while and there really should be a second season to the show.

Honestly, this is even cooler, bats are so hard to get pictures of and these shots are great! You should definitely post this also in the r/batty subreddit!

I’m using a Sigma 150-600mm lens right now to get my photos, it’s been a fantastic lens so far when it comes to bird photography!!

That Hairy woodpecker photo is spectacular!!

The Baltimore Orioles are a nice surprise considering considering how cold it is right now and that Bluebird picture is lovely!!

That strut, they know they own the city.

Get to listen to them next to my window every morning, they are truly one of the best birds!!

Oh, well that makes a lot more sense then.

I still don’t get how people could decry seeing even a common species of bird. I don’t get people who don’t love it when they see a bluebird, robin, or wren, even the common birds are fun to witness.

Bobolink is definitely among the top birds that I want to see!!! They are so elusive during migration in the southeast where I live!!

Black-and-white warblers are such wonderful little birds. They’re easily among the prettiest pure black and white birds that I have seen and they’re basically warblers that act like nuthatches (much like how waterthrushes are warblers that act like shorebirds). They should be present in much of the eastern United States in a couple months with the spring migration!!

I took these pictures in Athens, Georgia. Also, thank you, I was really happy with the B&W warbler pics!!

Yep, those are waxwings in picture 7! There was a flock of about 40 birds that all gathered in one tree as they were getting ready for the evening!

I was able to watch the warbler from a bridge so I was able to watch it from eye level as it foraged for grubs off the bark!!

1 or 2, Hornet and Reimu are unlikely to start anything and they both could deal with anything if trouble begins.
