Short-billed gull considering leaving a comment on interpretive panel. #birds #Canadabird
Small grey and white gull sitting on old, splitting, bird-poop covered panel interpreting bird (other) along riverside trail. Gull looks thoughtful: should I poop?

Up to no good. #birds #Canadabird
Three ravens on the ground around a gasoline pump in a snowy, brightly lit gas station/convenience store in the pre-dawn darkness.

Photograph of a raven on packed snow, in profile, but with its head turned, so it can glare at the photographer talking to it.

What if we kissed in the parking lot? #birds #Canadabird #ravens
Two ravens on the ground in a snowy, dirty parking lot, next to a snow heap. One raven (facing viewer) is crouching or sitting directly on the ground. The other (profile to viewer) is leaning in/over as the ravens touch beaks. There is shopping cart corral in the background and a yellow building with a window and a green roof.

Video from summer 2024: Semi-palmated plover on Qikiqtaruk (Herschel Island) Beaufort Coast, Yukon. Sound on? Beaufort wind is loud/annoying, but you can the little guy peeping! #birds #Canadabird

More summer dreaming, now with dinosaur bird tracks. #birds #Canadabird
Photograph showing apparent dinosaur (sandhill crane) tracks in dried mud with a dirty canvas hat and filthy human toe on equally filthy sandal tip, for scale.

Today in raven mating-season shenanigans: pair of ravens on roof provoking/teasing a PLASTIC OWL; the ones used to scare away perching birds. When first seen, ravens were strutting/calling. Later, they were poking at it, with their bills and then there was a solo song/dance. #birds #Canadabird

Raven silly season continues: on my walk, in the pitch black, two ravens, one on the Tags sign, one on the laundromat, taking turns in an apparent "who can scream the loudest" competition. Both strong contenders! #birds #Canadabird

2025? I'm out. Looking forward to 2026! #bird #Canadabird
Four ravens trick flying have managed to organize themselves symmetrically above the bare top of a spruce tree. The sky is cloudy above the horizon and the snow-covered trees, but it is bright blue above, providing nice contrast to the four black shapes.

Raven: bait and switch. A few years back, March, ice-fishing. Boy(?) landed in front, singing, dancing. (Girl?) came in silently, behind, to inspect my knapsack. If I turned, they flew up/switched, so silent partner could continue to investigate/try to steal. Love them! #bird #Canadabird
Photograph of a raven, in profile, standing on packed snow on a frozen lake. The raven has its "eyebrows" up, its throat/chest feathers and leg "trousers" down with feathers fluffed. In the background, a line of trees are the horizon, with a bit of blue/cloudy sky at the top/right corner.
