Rob says that today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Preeners&Scratchers, birds preening plumage or scratching, with an alt theme of birds with #Black&White in their plumage. These American Herring Gulls cover all the bases.

Today’s alt #BirdOfTheDay theme from @robcrank68.bsky.social is #Robins. I have so many photos of American Robins in the grass. It’s nice to be able to post a Robin in a tree.

Our house backs on to a marsh, and every year from Memorial Day to July 4, the mamas come to lay their eggs. For the second year, we are protecting their nests from predators. It’s rapidly becoming a full-time job—37 nests and counting.

We had an adventure this morning when a Black-capped Chickadee got into the house. Both the bird and the dogs were surprisingly calm. She had a few gentle thuds into closed windows, but once I moved the plant and put it in front of an open window, she flew right out.
