Sanderlings stills. Now I know the Pixar short Piper is very true to nature except for the diving part tho, which is the whole point of the animation…

This is the WHITE CARDINAL - A One in a Million Bird!

Native to North America, the White Cardinal isn’t a separate species but a rare color variation caused by leucism, a condition that affects pigment without changing eye color.

Unlike albino birds, these cardinals have dark eyes and normal behavior.

Their pale feathers make them stand out dramatically, but also make survival harder in the wild.

Fun Fact: Fewer than one in a million cardinals are born with this coloration!

mockingbird in last weekend’s snow. It was attacked right after by a red tailed hawk, but luckily it dodged its way out.

In Central Park, a barred owl stays, as rain erases summer’s haze. The green has fled, the gold remains, a fleeting glance through autumn rains.

Very sad to miss out the peak fall migration due to a foot injury, but my favorite phoebe friend didn’t disappoint us😍
