Started some Maine animal, holiday-themed seamless designs a little late in the game this year. Chickadees and Winterberry is the first of a few, and will be available on fabric, as cards and more for Christmas, 2024.

Two more birds as thanks for Waymaker donators! Left, a swooping male American Redstart in his bold black and orange, for @ziggetyzigzag on bsky/twitter; right, an alert little Black-capped Chickadee in cool winter lighting for Meredith S Walker.

Thanks again to all who are participating in Waymaker and doing our part to help unaccompanied immigrant children!

A chickadee never has time to stop and rest, even when it finds a nice old bench.

There is simply too much to do...

Black-capped Chickadee - (Poecile atricapillus)

Chadron State Park - Fall 2023

A little sneak-peek at some of the abuse I go through as a bird bander (heavy sarcasm there).

Chickadee are birds that clearly remember their dinosaur ancestors and channel them in every interaction, including the entire process of extraction from mist nets to being banded to even just being held. While the majority of birds I work with will try to bite once or twice, then focus on trying to get away, chickadee will often focus on biting and fussing until they think they're 100% free. Thankfully that bill is too small to truly hurt, but I don't tell them that. I want them to have their pride, after all.

All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey's BBL. Permission to share images was granted by Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (BCR).

#bird banding #black-capped chickadee #this bird was a same-day recap so it was released immediately after this vid #my grandma's shih-tzu is a black-capped chickadee #small and loud and ready to kill anything that inconveniences him #yet constantly begging for food and being desperately cute while doing so

A Sand County Feathursday

One of the most noteworthy books to come out of Wisconsin is A Sand County Almanac by the equally noteworthy Wisconsin naturalist and conservationist Aldo Leopold (1887-1948). Considered a landmark in the American conservation movement, A Sand County Almanac is a collection of essays mainly concerning the land around Leopold’s home in Sauk County, Wisconsin, that advocates the author’s idea of a "land ethic," or a responsible relationship between people and the land they inhabit.

Our copy is a first edition published in New York by Oxford University Press in 1949 with illustrations by the American wildlife artist and fellow conservationist Charles W. Schwartz (1914-1991). The book was published a year after Leopold’s death so he never got to witness its significant impact on the conservation and environmentalist movements.

Schwartz made a special emphasis on depicting the avian inhabitants of Sauk County, and we show a few of those images here that include Canada Geese (Branta canadensis), Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), American Woodcocks (Scolopax minor), and a Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). A couple of other species shown here are from Leopold’s visits to Mexico and the American southwest, Gambel's Quail (Callipepla gambelii) and Clark’s Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana).

The image of the chickadee being annoyed by its newly banded leg has a particularly charming description:

65290 was one of 7 chickadees constituting the ‘class of 1937.’ When he first entered our trap, he showed no visible evidence of genius. Like his classmates, his valor for suet was greater than his discretion. Like his classmates, he bit my finger while being taken out of the trap. When banded and released he fluttered up to a limb, pecked his new aluminum anklet in mild annoyance, and hurried away to catch up with the gang. It is doubtful whether he drew any philosophical deductions from his experience, . . . for he was caught again three times that same winter. . . . By the fifth winter 65290 was the sole survivor of his generation. Signs of genius were still lacking, but of his extraordinary capacity for living, there was now historical proof.

Our copy of A Sand County Almanac is from the collection of another heralded Milwaukee-area environmentalist and activist, Lorrie Otto.

maine state bird :-) sometimes, they can be seduced into eating seeds out of your hand, if you’re patient. you don’t need to be so patient after a few times, though, once they get to know you!

‘Beneath the Bird Feeder’ Documents the Spectacular Wildlife Visiting a Wintertime Food Source

During the winter months of late 2020 into early 2021, photographer Carla Rhodes cared for a birdfeeder that hung outside of her home in the Catskills of New York. The suspended food source garnered attention from myriad cold-weather adventurers, including a brilliant northern cardinal, numerous pairs of mourning doves, and furry little field mice, who visited the area amongst the snow and frigid temperatures.
