This little bird was holding a worm, dancing around in the trees, and making little calls for 10+ minutes. Maybe a young Yellowthroat or a mama calling to her baby? Merlin wasn't really picking up on the calls. Any ideas?

Earlier this evening, the Univision crew grabbed their gear and started running when federal police began shooting pepper balls at us. @lataco.bsky.social
I am both repulsed and intrigued.
So majestic. So derp

That flash of blue on the wings is beautiful! Fantastic shot!
A small blurry Indigo Bunting atop some tree branches, you can see that the little beak is open and singing.
I saw an Indigo Bunting yesterday! Took me a little while to find it but I really enjoyed watching him sing.

Mama Wood Duck and ducklings. I love when they scamper across the lily pads 🥲🪶

These little guys are so cute 💛
Adorable
Kildeer doing Killdeer things. This was my Merlin bird of the day and she didn't disappoint lol. Weirdo. She has a baby with her in the nearby pond who looks like a tiny, equally anxious version of her 🪶❤️
A few pictures from my morning bird walk! 🪶

Wilson's Warbler - song matched up on Merlin sound ID, black cap clearer through my binoculars.
Oriel next to a nest, leaves in front of face. Yay leaves 😑

Hey guys, did you know swallows are really fast? There were probably 20-30 swallows of a few different species zoomin along the Black Earth Creek.
Did my best with my phone camera but really just enjoyed sitting and watching them go by.

When Nashville SC defeated Charlotte FC on Saturday, the supporters section lacked its usual verve and had visible gaps throughout the risers.
The reason was explained in a pair of large white banners.
No estamos todos aquí.
We are not all here.

I don't know who this is but I love them. Just a cute little guy going about his business.

Common Yellowthroat doing his thing. I really like how he throws his head back to sing his little song.

That's some real solid misogyny right there. I believe he's straight, straight men often really hate women. It's just part of straight culture.
Un-American for thine, graduation for mine.
Shit that is so sad :(
There’s no white genocide in South Africa. Trump is recycling apartheid-era propaganda to paint Black governance as a threat and justify a whites-only immigration pipeline.
Lol no. We are not okay.
Has Elon Musk offered to impregnate her yet?
Ope. Looks like it's a Sora! Just had to do slightly more digging! Good, now I can go on with my day.
Heck yes!! 💙🌟
Unidentified water bird in Wisconsin. Merlin app identified the call as a Virginia Rail but the beak looks different. Any ideas?
*I post another video with a call if that would help*
Hope the sound comes through. It is doing a little call.
Can anyone help me identify this bird?

But that belies the active work going into the cultivation of ideologies and structures that allow that kind of "soft" (passive) killing to take place. We need to be comfortable calling it eugenics in the same way that we need to expand our recognition of systemic violence as violence.
