I've been hoping to witness this ever since I saw the parents building the nest over two months ago. And it came out even better than I hoped for. THREE BABY PILEATED WOODPECKERS BEING FED BY MAMA!

A couple months ago, I saw a pair of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers mobbing a Red-tailed Hawk. Not unusual. But then the female gnatcatcher LANDED on the hawk's head!

Five Seconds of Donkey Kong. #plottertwitter The NES has 2048 bytes of RAM. I snapshotted the RAM at each frame (60 fps) during 5 seconds of gameplay and plotted time series of the ones that changed at least once.

So, this was crazy. A black rat snake was slithering around at the base of the owl tree. Mom left the cavity to get a better look! She NEVER leaves during the day. And I've NEVER seen a screech owl out on a bare branch during the day. The nestling is like "uhh, mom?"

It's seriously been raining all weekend. But bird pictures must still be taken. Testing out my new 2x teleconverter. That puts me at 1000mm f/14! Most shots came out a bit soft, but a few cleaned up nicely.

Last November, I spotted a banded Hermit Thrush and reported it. It had been banded in the same location one migration cycle prior. Today I thought, "let's go see if that Hermit Thrush is in the same spot?" Found it right away. Here it is today!

Is this a federal bird band? Got a bunch of photos of a banded Hermit Thrush. I think I got enough angles to read the full code. I think it's either 2641-9280 or 2641-49280. Wish they made these easier to read like the shorebird ones.
