Here's a graphic novel recommendation for those who need to read something funny and light. The premise is about birds establishing an advanced civilization on the moon. If you like #birds and simplistic drawings, this is for you: #birdsofmaine by Michael Deforge. #Pigeons
I posted the original last night. Here's another version of the house finch with a little bit of editing. #birds #birdsofmaine #birdsofmastodon

Summary of analysis on our bobolink field experiment, done in central Maine. We are using audio recording to identify certain bird calls, in this case a female bobolink, in order to identify most likely nesting areas. This will help willing land owners to preserve optimal blocks of the field for nesting. We are working with Ag Allies.
Bobolinks are ground nesting birds that nest in open grasslands, one of the most threatened habitats.

I went birding for the first time in a couple months. Was looking for hooded mergansers, but was not disappointed by this Peregrine Falcon. #birdsofmastodon #birdsofmaine #birds #falcons

Piping plover with the tiniest floofball chicks. Apparently as few as 10,000 living individuals, so it's great to see successful breeding, even on a fairly busy public beach. Scarborough, Maine, July 2022

I printed a few of my photos from this past year into cards for gifts. Pretty happy with how they turned out. #birdsofmaine
