Scarlet Tanager ♂️ I was getting video footage and photos of some other birds in the open field area and I started hearing two Barred Owls calling in the wooded area nearby. I quickly started putting my tripod away to go find them. As I'm walking to enter the woods, there were a group of people coming out of the woods, saying there were two owls very low, about 15 ft up, being harassed by a Scarlet Tanager. I was really hoping to catch that on camera! However, I didn't see the Owls, but I was grateful to find the Scarlet Tanager. 🙂 #birdphotography #bird_captures #raw_birds #massaudubon #best_birds_of_world #yourshotphotographer #birds_illife #birdsofinstagram #best_birds_photography #moosehillfarm #audubonsociety #nature_worldwide_birds #birdfreaks #allaboutbirds #total_birds #scarlettanager #birdlovers #global4nature #kings_birds #planetbirds #your_best_birds #eye_spy_birds #nuts_about_birds #bird_brilliance #ip_birds #birds_adored #dailybirdpix #bbcearth #1birdshot #best_birds_of_ig (at Moose Hill Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce_XRiTAyWa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

White-breasted Nuthatches forage up, down, and sideways over tree trunks and around large branches. They probe into bark crevices or chip away at wood to find food, often storing seeds and insects one at a time under loose bark on their territory. You can find them at woodland edges and in open areas with large trees, such as parks, wooded suburbs, and yards. White-breasted Nuthatches are monogamous birds that live in pairs year round chasing other nuthatches from their territory. If you are interested in getting these North American songbirds to visit your backyard you can attract them by offering large nuts such as sunflower and peanuts, and by putting out suet. #allureduniverse #outdoors #nature #wildlife #animalbehavior #WhitebreastedNuthatches #nativespecies #americanexpedition #northamerica #discoverwildlife #allaboutbirds #thecornelllab #naturephotography #conservation #awareness #wildlifeconservation #Sittacarolinensis #scienceiscool #alwayslearning #johnheinzwildliferefuge #gooutandexplore #themoreyouknow #facts #canonpowershotsx530hs (at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge At Tinicum)

I may have been quiet on the internet lately, but I haven't been still! One thing I did was a series of #illustrations for Living Bird's Winter 2020 issue on predictions for the intersection of #birding and #technology. Swipe through for a few of the illus horribly cropped by instagram, or better yet, go to #allaboutbirds and check out Living Bird to see all of them properly! Thanks to @jillianditner and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for getting me in on this, and more importantly for all your hard work supporting #bird #research in the world! :) #birds #humans #ink #digital #contractwork #comicstyle #infographicy #art #magazine #cornell #cornelllabofornithology #livingbird #missyall <3 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PzdWCDDNO/?igshid=1uuup3323fx0e

The Sparrows of Winter 2017-2018. Since I am behind sharing my progress here on tumblr, here is a catch up of my project. I am drawing birds and I have completed a series on Sparrows. These are Sparrows I saw this winter and I have compiled them into a poster.

Bonus. Yet another Redwinged Blackbird. So pretty in the morning sun. Come good into the new week, world!
