The nest best thing after the trees fell: A headmistress leads bird conservation revival For years, Girimallika Saikia woke up early to birds chirping. A photography enthusiast, she would wait patiently as house sparrows, magpie-robins and mynas hop

Hats off to Headmistress Saikia! It's incredible what she has done with the help of her students to bring birds back to areas that lost them due to construction and other human "developmental" activities.

Per Alan ( @alan678.bsky.social ), the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #QuietObservers single birds observing their surroundings.

I think this Indian grey-necked house crow fits the bill very well.

Two jungle babblers perched on a thick branch, one on the main branch and one on a smaller offshoot. Both are looking up - the first one's facing the camera with its head tilted back, while the second is positioned left to right with its head also turned upward. Their beaks are yellow with a hint of red, and they've got tan-colored bodies. Lots of bright green foliage in the background.

Alan's ( @alan678.bsky.social ) selection for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #movement with the alternative being #lookingup.

I think this photo of two jungle babblers qualifies for the alternative theme.

A red-whiskered bulbul perched on a tree branch, with a really wide, light brown tree trunk in the background. Green leaves frame both sides of the photo, some catching the sunlight. The bulbul has dark brown plumage on its back and white underparts. Its crest, head, and beak are black, with a distinctive red patch behind the eyes. A thin black streak runs from under the eyes down to the neck.

Video 1 of 2 of a rufous treepie. The background sounds are from a chipmunk that's in a tree nearby. At the end of the video, the caws of a greynecked crow can be heard for a brief moment.

A bird is perched on a branch of a tree extending from bottom right to top left. The bird is oriented with its head positioned to the right. The neck and belly are white. The beak is somewhat long and dark. The upper mandible is slightly curved down. The bottom mandible is flat  the head and the wings are black.

I believe this is a black crowned night heron. Saw him/her in March 2025 in Kolkata, India.

Image brightened slightly to improve bird details.

My contribution is a common tailorbird I saw in Kolkata in October. They're common but very skittish.
