This is an excellent app! I wish more apps worked this well. On our last trip to Costa Rica, I downloaded the Central America birds expansion pack, and it worked great there, too. We were able to “call in” these great kiskadees using the app’s recorded songs.

It’s the last day of the Great Backyard Bird Count, and participation so far has been tremendous. Since Friday, you’ve collectively sent in nearly a quarter-million eBird checklists and found close to 6,000 of the world’s bird species. As birdwatchers, we constantly feel fortunate to live surrounded by so much diversity and beauty—and that’s why this weekend feels like such a celebration.

We’re in a short (hopefully), sharp lockdown again, but at least I’m not alone in my home office. In the absence of any scale she’s about a 10cm/4 inch span. Front legs are lifted off the wall because I got a bit too close with my phone.

Hell does occasionally freeze over (translation: it snowed in North Alabama). This is Other Cat’s first snow.

The fat bakery birds! They’re not really fat, just fluffed for winter, I learned.
I’ve played this video a few times, and each time, the cats run to the window to look at the birds, realize it’s not real birds outside, and look at me with disappointment that I tricked them again.

You’ve mentioned these “bakery birds” previously. I looked them up to no avail. Is that just a nickname for them?
Around these parts, we call any nondescript, unidentified birds “LBJs” (little brown jobs) or “common shitbirds”

For years I thought they were wrens, but after starting to pay attention to birds and picking up both the Sibley and the NatGeo books, I found out they were sparrows, house sparrows in particular. But as they hang out year round behind the bakery, eating leftover bread and cake, I call them the bakery birds.
