Headlong Blue
I caught this image of a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) at just the right moment—mid-flight, heading straight toward me. It was a lucky shot; I didn’t even realize I’d captured it until I reviewed the morning’s images. As Lefty Gomez said, it's "better lucky than good."
If you're enchanted by images of blue jays and other captivating corvids, dive into my photo gallery for a visual treat! Take a peek:

this guy was very willing to sit still and pose for me, something I’ve learned not to expect from warblers

this is not how birds sleep.
lil man was somehow captured and placed here. birds become surprisingly immobile when placed on their backs, likely out of fear/confusion

All about rodenticides! Bird Friendly London (www.birdfriendlylondon.ca) hired me to make this comic with a grant from Nature Canada. Rodenticides are harming my local raptors so it's an issue that's close to my heart.
heron catches a fish. perch I think.
this heron was so chill. we were walking right by the creek he was fishing in and I tried to go really slow and hide behind a bush but he didn’t care. eventually he let us walk past without even flinching
normally the herons I experience don’t even like you being across the lake from them

Do you know what this effed up looking wasp thing is? Found it in the crazy mountains in Montana
asked my more experienced Wasp Friends and they agreed it is a horntail! I believe it is a yellow-horned horntail
New Research: Woodcock Migration and Reproduction
In a new research publication, researchers present the first direct evidence of an incredibly rare breeding strategy called ‘itinerant breeding’ in a migratory bird – the American Woodcock. Itinerant breeding means that the birds' migrations and reproduction periods overlap and less than 0.1% of bird species are known to use this strategy. As part of this study, researchers tracked over 200 female American woodcocks using GPS and found that most of the tagged birds (>80%) nested more than once, with some nesting up to six times! The tagged birds moved an average of around 500 miles north between their first and second nests, and smaller distances (about 125+ miles) between later nests. This rare behavior likely occurs in woodcocks because they rely on temporary habitats for breeding, ground-nesting and have other life history traits that reduce the energy costs of reproductions and migrations. FWC relies on peer-reviewed science for its management; to access this full publication: https://bit.ly/WoodcockResearchPub

There is very little happening right now and I am also a bit busy with work, so here is just a quick little hello from a MoDo and two young Blue Jays. I hope you are having a great week. It has cooled down but is supposed to be warm again. Hopefully there is enough summer left for my tomatoes to completely ripen too.
