Warbler Boy

Hairy Woodpecker from Wednesday at Ashbridge's Bay Park

@ilwarblers There's a nesting condo in my neighborhood that had 2 or 3 pairs return. I saw them feeding little ones

@peterdwhitmore Yes! @peterdwhitmore is correct with Purple Martin. How's the nesting colonies where you are? My folks have them at their farm

Good morning its #callnotes the bird mnemonic game. Today's bird says: chew or spick-spack-spitter-spee-spack it was my late grandmother's favorite bird. We celebrated Easter by opening their nesting complex hoping to see them return from Brazil. We keep the tradition going

This well-fed thrush greeted me by the ferry dock at Ward's Island

@MaryGemignani OMG! It’s an ivory billed woodpecker come back from the dead

I have no Halloween pics, so this black silhouette from yesterday will have to suffice. What bird do you think this is? Should be pretty easy. #HappyHalloween

@ilwarblers We do. They’re not super common but I see a few most years

@peterdwhitmore Yes!! Do you get Long-eared Owl sightings up your way in November? 🦉

Good morning and welcome to #callnotes the daily bird mnemonic quiz. With Halloween wrapped up this species seems appropriate 🎃 it makes a singular Hoot! Heard only at night and typically spaced out by 3 seconds or so be the first to name this bird I have yet to see #birdtwitter

I will probably not be posting on this platform for the foreseeable future. If you want to continue following me check out warbler_boy on IG or boy-warbler on Tumblr. It's been a good week for rare birds including this piping plover & red-headed woodpecker

Warbler migration is winding down but at least I'll have yellow warblers to keep me company this summer

@TalkinBirdsShow That I have not tried 😀

I'm finally starting to see magnolia warblers. At this point warbler migration should be in full swing. Time to get out there #birding!

@bttrhmsndgrdns Love the look! I have a feeling the camo dudes may avoid you if you have them there. I wear a fair bit of orange myself

Eastern wood pewee for flycatcher Friday

Between whimbrel flybys these dunlins kept me entertained at Colonel Samuel Smith Park

Some better whimbrel views today! #birding #torontobirds

@TorontoLydia Thanks Lydia!

@peterdwhitmore Nice shot!

My first gosling sighting of the year

Here's another photo for scale

I saw whimbrels today! This is my best photo of a flock ~450. I was at CSSP & they were in Mississuaga :-)
