Сто лет не был на кладбищах Александро-Невской лавры. Стало похуже, конечно. Везде какой-то бесконечный ремонт (даже в исторических зданиях ставят дурацкие пластиковые стеклопакеты) и закрытые двери. А вот и скворцы!

🧵 I heard... SILENCE.

This past week here in #AuroraIllinois , the weather has been pleasant & warmer. In the past, this kind of weather would be full of life, coming awake.

I know most of the #songbirds have migrated and haven't returned yet, so I don't expect to hear them. But only last week, I was regularly seeing a LOT of #birds , and hearing lots of chirping. The bird food & bread scraps I often put out for them in the morning were always eaten before lunch.

In past years, the sky would have had lots of birds flying overhead in this first warmth. I would hear lots of chirping.

This whole day, I heard only SILENCE.

4 of the past 5 days, bird food was left uneaten. Bread scraps were only eaten by the nighttime animals.

Today, I only saw one lonely #sparrow, behaving abnormally by hiding in my flower pot, right next to my door-- and near me. None of his friends ever appeared.

I hope I'm mistaken. I hope this is not due to #BirdFlu .

Photo of a long rectangular red-orange flowerpot, with dead herbs from the previous year. In the pot, tucked between the dead roots of plants, is a tiny lonely Sparrow. Even when I (unwittingly) stood nearby, he did not quickly fly away. He was the only bird I saw that day, despite having a large supply of stale bread and a full brick of bird suet nearby. The brick of suet has been almost completely untouched for over a week.
Close-up of the lonely sparrow hiding in the dead herb roots. His behavior was very abnormal, and the entire day felt weird to me. The silence overhead all day was rather eerie. There should have been birds.

Here's a lovely smile for you :-)

(1.5 minute narrated video with a beautiful bird. Subtitles like "laughter" and "music" are the bird showing off its loud sounds, LOL)

I was going through some very old photos yesterday and found something exciting for tomorrow’s #Wrensday post.

As a happy reminder to the birding crew, I’m planning to boost all Wrensday content because I love this hashtag.

What’s Wrensday? Another genius hashtag Mastodonians came up with. We’re featuring photos of the many wrens across the world on Wednesdays. I hope you’ll participate.

A little under a year ago I bought a used #NikonZ7ii. And it’s mostly been a pain in the butt. #Mirrorless photography isn’t fun. Again dealing with soft images. Assumed lens problem so I put it on my old beloved D7200.

Nope. Lens is OK. So it’s the body or maybe my rough handling has messed up the FTZ adapter. Anyway, here’s a dumb invasive (but still pretty!) European Starling from my old trusty d7200. (Straight off camera and cropped. I don’t do much editing)

Black and iridescence purple with green bird with mostly buff or almost orange be spots. Sharp pointy beak.

Hey, frozen and/or snowed in friends. It’s a hard time to be a bird out there.

If you can, your feathered friends need food, but more importantly they could use some unfrozen water. They can eat snow, but melting it lowers already low body temps and burns calories needed for survival.

BONUS: You’ll likely be the only game in town and get quite a show 🤩
