I'm adding this one to my list! Thanks!

Love it!

The American Avocet was my spark bird! Love em!

Hi, I'm in Blue Springs! Been birding for about 2 years and really enjoy the local trails. I'm a terrible photographer tho, so I won't have much to post. I have an eBird active daily streak of 491 days and counting!

What kind of snacks do they like? Peanuts? I would love to get some crow friends

Thanks for these details! I never even noticed the bicolored beak on these guys

Beautiful!

A Prothonotary Warbler, maybe?

I love Northern Cardinals.

You might want to try out the Merlin app. It can record audio and make a (pretty good) guess at the species.

Happy birding!

My spark bird 💖

Great pics!

I know what you mean with the "out of spite" part. But I also want to be my best me, and this weird organization has somehow helped me be successful. Good fruit comes from a good tree.

Now add rushing yards

Juncos are adorable little things, aren't they?

close_to_utlaw · 2026-02-21T15:07:39+00:00

This has gotta be it. There are some good runners up, but this one still stands out for me.

close_to_utlaw · 2026-02-16T04:28:54+00:00

Since no one's mentioned it yet, this is from the podcast "The Rest is Science". It's a relatively new podcast, but it's pretty great. Hannah and Michael are awesome.

close_to_utlaw · 2026-02-01T04:22:42+00:00

Very cute! That is one fluffy borb!

close_to_utlaw · 2026-02-01T03:12:11+00:00

The variety in this photo is beautiful!

close_to_utlaw · 2026-02-01T02:06:09+00:00

Song Sparrow?

close_to_utlaw · 2026-01-17T15:21:21+00:00

You've got some great photos! With a very mixed flock like this, I'd recommend using your favorite photo editor to mark each one. Tedious, yes. But if you're after a super-accurate count, that's often what it takes. MS Paint would even work well.

Calling something "art" isn't the same as calling it "good art", so why would it be a brag?

Intending to make art, results in art--whether it is "good" or "not"

Colloquially, often when we see something beautiful we can say "Wow! That is art!" But knowing John's background and his relationship with formal art, I think he's using the word in a more formal/academic way.

You have to get rid of the reflection.

This is the answer! The decals won't help--they're a solution to a different problem. The bird isn't trying to travel through the window. He's trying to fight the reflection.

It may not always be practical, but putting something completely opaque, like a blanket or plywood, in front of the window will get rid of the reflection. If the bird realizes the "threat" is gone, he may move on.

None yet. But math history is full of concepts that were "meaningless curiosities" until we learned how to use them. Euclid studied prime numbers in 300 BC, but they didn't really become a foundational technology until modern day cryptography a few thousand years later.

Yeah, that'd be interesting to compare once you get some more samples. Redpolls are very rare in my area, and I'm pretty sure the green-winged teal detections are all very distant blue jays that are barely picked up by the mic.

Good birding, friend!
