Wow, even MORE snow this morning! The backyard troopers aren't letting it slow them down at all though! Seeing all these vibrant colors flittering across the white landscape is such a treasure and rarity here in the emerald city. #Seattle #pnwbirds #pnwbirding #seattlewildlife #birds #birding #snow #snowbirds #wildlifephotography #northernflicker #downywoodpecker #bewickswren #townsendswarbler #redbreastednuthatch
Woke up this morning to a wonderful dash of snow covering the yard! It didn't stop these three morning regulars from stopping by for some suet! The Townsend's Warbler and Bewick's Wren are both pretty chummy with each other and I see them together quite often. The Song Sparrow in the third pic is a bit of a bully, the wren always takes off when they come by but the warbler stands their ground even though it sometimes means taking a few feathers to the face haha #seattle #seattlewildlife #birds #birding #pnwbirds #snowbirds
This should be my final album in the Favorite Shots of 2024 collection! 2024 was a magical year for me, rediscovering my love of photography and opening my heart to my feathery neighbors and reconnecting with the side of myself that wants to create and revel in the wonders of our world.

Caspian Terns might be my most favorite lifer to encounter last year. Hearing their raspy calls and watching them dive for a meal with the Ospreys and Kingfishers at Dumas Bay was truly a spectacle and joy. There's a few Great Blue Heron pictures in the mix as well, it was a delight to be so close to these gorgeous derp-sticks and they make for fantastic subjects in photos haha.

This varied thrush was posing out in front of my house this afternoon. #pnw #pnwbirds
Enjoying a damp, cool, grey morning watching Steller’s jays eat peanuts. I love living here.

First walk this morning stumbled upon a varied thrush that I think flew into a window. Poor thing was still warm, but neck was flopping & broken. Eyes non responsive. I love these little things, but the forest is a better place than in the middle of downtown. I hope she had a good life up until this. 😔 Picked her little body up & disposed of it, so no animals would chomp it.

Tuesday, you were on your own plan today.

I’ve been working on something a bit different!

This sticker sheet features a handful of “little brown jobs” – small brown birds that to the casual observer might all look the same. But if you look closer, there’s a universe of variation and subtle beauty up there in the trees!

When I actually have the stickers in hand, I’ll make a big fuss – until then, enjoy these sweet little critter drawings.☺️

Great Horned Owl in my yard just now. Merlin says uncommon here.

A Western Tanager I saw having a conflict with two Steller's Jays (not pictured). I never figured out what the conflict was over.
