I saw a pair of Cerulean Warblers down by the college. The male was a fierce, gleaming blue with a white tummy; and the female looked kind of beige with that same shiny blue on her forehead.
I also found this cool stick by a #new beaver dam down the river. It's all chewed up, and cut perfectly to my height. I'm going to turn it into a proper shepherd's staff; just waiting for the crook to soften as I'm writing this.

I have adopted the local starlings into my bird coven (a flock?). We are slowly growing in number, and shortly (I hope) in size! We sing stories of crushed peanuts and everlasting love up to the dewy morning breeze. I am their fellow, and my compatriots bring me joyful tidings. Jk I have no idea what they're jabbering about and neither (probably) do they.

This morning I saw what are arguably the most common birds in Ontario.
I saw a red Robin (Turdus migratorius) atop a young pine tree with a female fluttering about to check him out.
Yesterday I saw a male Red-Winged Blackbird; and today I found a female, foraging in the bush. She has brown plumage with fiery streaks of beige; no red.
And, for the record, a House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) on the fence at home.

Put this up cus I've seen some pretty birds and I want to know what they're called. I definitely won't learn them all. Today I saw a Red-Winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus, epic name btw) chasing a female before he stood repose on a cattail nearby me. There he sang a song that sounded like a whistling splash of water (i guess you could say they all sound like that), before he lifted off to continue his chased.
