@ABA @ABA When will posters go on sale? I want to make sure I don't miss them before they sell out!

A special moment I shared with a kingfisher a couple years ago...

Belted kingfisher, female, enjoying a meal on the banks of the Genesee River. #Birds #Birding #NewYork #UpstateNY

Guess what!!

New @ABA #BirdOfTheYear just announced!

[Brandon Tate @BrandonKTate]

It's time for my annual ABA Bird of the Year prediction!

The announcement is happening in Nashville. Can we infer the bird will be a Tennessee native? Perhaps.

I feel like it's time for the Belted Kingfisher to take the spotlight.

Let's go, kingfishers! #BirdOfTheYear2023

Bring it on!

Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, recently returned to Midway Atoll!

The beloved Laysan albatross, or mōlī, is at least 71 years old. Biologists first identified and banded Wisdom in 1956 after she laid an egg, and the large seabirds aren’t known to breed before age 5.

Thank you, Georgia. We did it again.

THE WHOOPING CRANE HATH DECIDED TO GRACE US WITH ITS PRESENCE. THIS 2,500-MILE ONE WAY FLIGHT MAY TAKE AS MANY AS 50 DAYS,

BUT EXPERIENCED PAIRS MAY MAKE THE RETURN TRIP THIS SPRING IN AS LITTLE AS 10.

The kingfisher chicks begin hatching out one by one and their kingfisher mum is quick to tidy up as she goes along..🥚🐤🧹😍

@ilovemosss You might try the Nikon B600 or another Nikon point-and-shoot depending on your budget. With the AF Area Mode set to "center" they will quickly autofocus on the point in the center of the viewfinder.

[Emily Finch @DrEmilyFinch]

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels.

I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow.

Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’

Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path.

Strap in. It’s a 🧵

Despite the steep decline last year, Maine’s Atlantic Puffins and Common Terns raised chicks at double the rate of last year. @DerrickZJackson visited several seabird nesting islands this year and described what he saw as a “breeding bonanza.” https://t.co/oRo7ob28Sr
