i've turned into an old man who bird watches in my backyard finally and wanted to share an app with y'all but i recently found a really cool bird ID phone app that you can not only use photo ID but record audio to help identify the little dudes!! its called "Merlin" and it's by the cornell lab of ornithology, super cool! I love Merlin! There is another great resource, ebird.org You can look at "hot spots" near you and see what people have spotted recently. You can also make an account to share sightings or keep track of birds you've seen. My local Audubon also does an alert on their website for rare bird sightings.

My Merlin just picked up a broad-winged hawk outside my apartment! I couldn't see him to get a picture but I now know there are 2 species of hawks out there to get pictures of.

I still haven't gotten around to actually hosting photos but I am starting to organize bird pics into a Google drive. This link should be public if I didn't fuck it up. Birbs
I also have an IG but you'll have to DM me for that because it's private. It kills my picture quality but it's fun to share.

I heard the broad-winged hawk again today, it could even be 2! I couldn't manage to figure out where they were in the trees so the search continues.
My feeder is finally getting some action. I uploaded pics of a couple of cute goldfinches and a fun one of a greedy blue jay staring me down.
