@ALINA_1414_333 I travel whenever I can, which is often.

@ALINA_1414_333 I love bee-eaters. They are always in elegant plumage.

I am rather slowly migrating to BlueSky. For those of you who would like to follow me there, my handle is @a-birder.bsky.social

[Allen Boynton @afocusonnature]

@starliteNbrite This is an immature Cooper's Hawk. They can be very confiding when young, but adult Cooper's are much more wary. At this time of year in south Florida, it probably is a migrant bird from who knows where.

@HappyPixr I've seen one pecking at an apple in my backyard tree.

[Allen Boynton @afocusonnature]

@CorinthPhoto This bird looks like an Eastern Wood-pewee or an Empidonax sp. to me.

Marsha spotted this black bear, wet with morning dew, on our way to Jasper from our camp.

The Gray Catbird is a common bird here in Grayson County, VA. I saw one this June in the Cascade Mountains of Washington, where it was a vagrant bird.

A sunny memory for a rainy fall day.

[Allen Boynton @afocusonnature]

@TroyDeclan I believe that this is due to the influence of daylength on the hormonal system of some northern bird species, stimulating fall breeding behaviors when the daylength approaches that of their spring breeding time.

@bethpratt @inaturalist That is a thrill! And isn't iNat the coolest, most addictive app.

[Allen Boynton @afocusonnature]

@ImjustagirlJm I always wondered how!
