Hi! I just wanted to say that your blog is maybe my favorite on Tumblr, I appreciate how well you tag and source and credit all your images, their quality, the variety, etc. They make my day and sometimes I use them for drawing studies.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much boo boo kittens. Here is a special friend for you...

a black harrier flew over as i was riding home yesterday, bringing the home/garden species to 92! i wonder when/what number 100 will be...& the whole flock of swee waxbills was out foraging by the time i got back! just look at these little cuties:

plus, the black-collared barbet showed itself after only being heard for months! very striking birds:

with such fun calls, too:
