sign this petition to help save nyc's black-crowned night herons!!! these herons are historically the most abundant wading bird in the nyc harbor but their population has fallen 55% in 22 years, and projections say they'll be gone from the city by 2037 :( https://t.co/uhvuEeQsVu

this is a hudsonian godwit, a rare and threatened shorebird that breeds at just a few sites in the arctic and winters at just a few sites in southern south america. it's most often encountered on migration on the US great plains in the spring and atlantic coast in fall.

Did you know that there are roughly 50 to 55 species of gulls worldwide? In the birding community, the term "seagull" is a catch-all nickname, as they are simply classified as "gulls" with no specific species carrying the official name "seagull".

@guttenbirder22@frogkenny Also the iphone 17 pro camera is reeeeally good. the 40x zoom is good enough that i'm sometimes using the phone itself as binoculars

@mrpavopeacock yes! my brother in law was showing me around, it's
his patch! we also birded MB johnson in moorhead. we had a great time, lots of new ND birds for me
You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to New York. But thereโs a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?
@EfranOctavio1@nvolpewild@OtorongoLodge oh yeah, every time i visit central or south america i find something that has 0 inat records (or something that hasn't been described)! the key is to just photograph the stuff other people aren't โ moths, snailes, small suff, etc
