Water accumulates somewhere, bird dips head into it. Science.

A few photos from my bike tour yesterday: There were lots of photo stops to take pictures of birds on posts and fences. And if there's no fence, you have to land on a sheep. Birds can be very pragmatic

BOTD: Painted Bunting
Tumblr media
Photo: Doug Greenberg
"Sometimes called the 'Nonpareil,' meaning 'unrivalled,' a fair way to describe the unbelievable colors of the male Painted Bunting. This species is locally common in the Southeast, around brushy areas and woodland edges. It is often secretive, staying low in dense cover. However, males sing their bright warbling songs from higher in the trees, partly hidden among foliage or sometimes out in the sun on an exposed perch. Some lucky Floridians have Painted Buntings coming to their bird feeders in winter."

The Bad Batch birder headcanons: Crosshair.
Crosshair’s not the first member of the Batch to get into birding. Tech enjoyed birding by ear tremendously, recording hundreds, thousands of different songs on his datapad. But Crosshair’s the first one to call himself a birder.
The ice vulture on Barton IV inspired him, and after he starts to heal and recover on Pabu, he starts noticing the different species all around the island. He uses Tech’s datapad to keep track of his life list, and gets intensely into the competitive aspects — though only with himself, as he’s his only competition. He strives to add to his list every year, meticulously keeping lists based on seasons and local patches, always seeking to do better than the year before. He can be an obnoxious little shit about it and Wrecker and Hunter tell him to knock it off sometimes.
He takes Omega out with him frequently, but makes Batcher stay home — she’s way too likely to scare off a shy species. Hunter comes with him sometimes when Crosshair’s in search of a particularly skulky species; he resents it a little when Hunter can sense a bird and he can’t see it yet, but he also knows sometimes, it’s the only way he’ll find it.
Crosshair also wears the ugliest possible hat he can find to shade his eyes. He loves it to pieces and it’s part of the fun for him. XD
More to follow!

I'm back with a Least Sandpiper Picture. I kid you not this bird was so close. We're talking like 10 feet or 3 metres away. It was such a cool experience and I am incredibly happy with how this picture turned out! Happy Pride Month All!!!

Alas, the efforts of photographing certain species, and then all you have to show for it is a plain brown bird. And I do.
