a little birdie told me

Royal Spoonbill I saw hanging out in a storm drain one time

Western or Arfak Parotia (Parotia sefilata), family Paradisaeidae, order Passeriformes, found only in the mountain forests of Vogelkop and the Wandammen Peninsula of Western New Guinea

Male, performing a courtship display.

Today was Awkward Day at the pond. Flickers are woodpeckers with short legs, so getting into a bird bath is a little weird for them. But this guy was determined and made it happen, even if just quickly. Then a Blue Jay decided to take a sunbath right in the pool. That section if sped up five times to show how long it was. We are expecting a period of extreme heat, make sure to have some water sources for wildlife around!

I am in that period where I very much miss shipwrecked content and all.... I miss it so much... hi09.... hi09 tomorrow......

I rotoscoped the gif on aseprite

It's every birder's favourite time of the year: When birds look like shit!

Red-necked Grebe (Podiceps grisegena), THEY SCREMMM!!!, family Podicipedidae, order Podicipediformes, WA, USA

Ozias! Jumpscare! he should turn that frown. Upside Down!

also why does he have a book named "Bucky's" 🤨

OMG???? NO WAY????

I LITERALLY HAD A PHYSICAL REACTION AT MY WORK BREAK SEEING THIS AND MY BESTIE WAS LIKE 'are you ok'

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHH HE'S SO FLUFFY HEREEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEE

I also LOVE the 2nd one with the painted aesthetic it's SO pretty

idk how to put into words how happy i ammmmm 😭

BUT to answer your question there

He's a librarian and has a library set up in the hotel, which has a lot of books in general, about the wolves, but also related to Shipwrecked/Broadside related stuff

which includes... Bucky's Fantastic Fish Stand (which I think is still canon, if the reading of it is still in the sw64 files) (also that's the book he's holding there, the title's just cut off by his arm so it just looks like "Bucky's")
