Update on our #reforestation project: The 16ha are #rewilding successfully. More #trees & secondary growth, tons of #birds & #pollinators- so we'll let #nature do her thing until we're able to get a proper #biodiversity survey taken

Young Magnolia Warbler taking in the sights while on migration layover. Safe travels, little one! 💛

UPDATE: I've determined the first to be a Wilson's / Black-capped Warbler and the second to be a female Common Yellowthroat
The first is a #lifer for sure

Warbler ID question: These terrible pics are of a few birds w/in a larger mixed flock, foraging in leaf litter and low understory veg. 1st: Wilson's or fall/imm Hooded? 2nd: F Common Yellowthroat or Mourning... I hope? Thanks for any help! 😊 #birding #BirdTwitter #Migration

@Britnatureguide these were seen 9/22 in Newport, RI 🙂

[Bird_Nerd @JessicaMelchi11]

Thanks to the @DrBirdCast - I checked the BirdCast radar and saw it was a good day to go out- left having seen a bunch of new lifers! Not the best pics, but happy to add the Blue-Throated Blue Warbler & Northern Parula to our lists!

We had a Yellow-crowned Night Heron, our favorite Belted Kingfisher and a migrant Mangrove Cockoo come to say goodbye to us!
Bittersweet but what a nice send off #birdwatching #migration #BirdsOfTwitter #caribbean #stbarts #newchapter

This male sumatran orangutan is Raku: he got a wound on his right cheek. Scientists were surprised to spot him applying a medicinal plant on his face: akar kuning (Fibranaurea tinctoria), a type of climbing vine that acts as an analgesic.

After about 8 days he applied the chewed stems and leaves of the plant, the wound began to heal and in approximately a month he completely recovered.

This series of observations undoubtedly constitutes the conclusive proof of the level of ingenuity that these majestic animals have.

When in St Barts even the herons dance to the pounding music of the beach clubs? Maybe this Great Blue Heron was enjoying Sunday Funday at the pond 🤣

I forgot to mention that @Melchio1Olivier “saw it first” (as usual… he never forgets to announce when he’s spotted something before I have 😤🤭)

Green-throated Carib last night… it landed right in front of us and proceeded to preen for at least 2-3 minutes! It kept one eye on us before zipping off to load up on nectar.

@DunrobinOntario Congrats on the lifer! Looks like your ID has already been confirmed on here, but I was going to say that in French their name translates to “double collared”- that’s how I always remember the Kildeer if I’m in doubt or in the absence of other identifying factors

@Saskajanet Beautiful!! 🤩
