WB!

Not the coolest bird but a very cool bird: there were some crows hanging out after work the other day being very silly. TBH any day seeing a bird after work is a good day.

[queenlua]

and crows are some of the best birds. just chill guys chilling out. i love them...!

I saw approx. a million Canadian geese, strutting around like they own the place, and a few albino pigeons.

[queenlua]

you really gonna let those Canada geese sass you like that, huh

[necrophilia]

They're terrifying! I was at the beach the other day and had to do a complicated hop on and off the boardwalk [which included throwing myself bodily over a low stone wall] in order to avoid one that didn't know where it was going. And then I told it, "you're a dick," and my friend (who I didn't know was there!) burst out laughing.

So... Yes. Yes, I am.

The local giant mob of fish crows decided this year's hangout spot is Roy Rogers. On the one hand, since they're not all sitting on my roof all the time I have had no Personal Interactions with Crow Neighbors this year, which is a bit of a letdown. On the other hand, their absence means smaller songbirds in the area have come out of hiding. So many house finches! So many catbirds! Various cute little guys!

Welcome back! I saw cute but not unusual birds when I went to Door County last week; summer continues to summer; brains are miserable and terrible; in other news water is wet.

remember, no matter how summer the summer: fall migration is inevitable and it brings cool temperatures + bomb-ass migrants + hopefully fewer migraines et al!!!

also more actual comments on your own life later but tldr may the name georgann be accursed forever

oh have I ever! a few days ago I was sunbathing and spotted some birds that don't seem to be the usual ruddy ground doves or chickadees -- so, on the best of hopes that the pics I took aren't absolute complete illegible ass, I can't wait to make you identify those-

[queenlua]

omfg i can't wait for these pics

Yaaay welcome back~! There is a family of magpies in my neighborhood that bounce between a handful of blocks every morning causing chaos. Despite appearing full grown, the fledglings still keep begging their parents for food and it's hilarious.

i am so absolutely jealous of your magpies... i gotta DRIVE to see those clever guys...! ty for sharing their silliness :P
