I am choosing to lean into joy through birding during this season of my life. I was so excited to recognize the first bird whose song brought me so much awe today. It’s the bird that threw me onto this new hobby journey! All hail the Black-Capped Chickadee!!

Had a very enjoyable birding walk on Sunday with a wonderful group of birders. One highlight was seeing this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker at Tanglewood Preserve in Rockville Center, NY

Ahem @wiscobirder.bsky.social why you not warn us how 🥹 we’d feel holding one of these? Even in the middle of a heat wave this brings me joy. Because of yall? I’ve been spreading the bird joy at my healthcare jobby job. Had a patient come back today and tell me they saw a yellow warbler. #birdjoy
