Bird identification is so fucked up in a really fun way you can’t understand until you get into it. For example, there is a type of goose called the cackling goose that looks exactly like a Canada goose except smaller and “cuter”. The cackling goose is way, way, more rare in most places than its relatively common cousin, so it’s on tons of birders life lists. Everyone wants to see a cackling (look in any bird ID group to see lots of hopeful people posting petite Canada geese). The two species regularly commingle, so sometimes a flock of those common parking lot birds will have the equivalent of a Pokémon shiny just hanging out in the middle of them.

How ridiculous and fun is that? I can never look at a big group of Canada geese without scrutinizing their ranks for an adorable little extremely rare cutie pie cackling goose. It reminds me a bit of mushroom harvesting minus the risk of death if you get it wrong

#idk if this is universally true but def relevant here in the eastern USA #birding #yes I know the cackling bill is shorter too but realistically that’s hard to judge sometimes #cackling goose #Canada goose #biology #Canadian goose

wanted to share some of my bird art i made before coming to tumblr! i’m a huge bird fan <3 some of them were either made digitally, with acrylic paint, colored pencil, or pencil. the heron mosaic piece was actually made with cut construction paper!

one of these things is not like the others....the cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii) was once considered a subspecies of Canada goose (Branta canadensis). they have overlapping ranges and nearly identical plumage, but are significantly smaller than most Canada geese, with more compact features and higher-pitched vocalizations.

#id in alt #birds #canada goose #cackling goose #your suggestions #from an old suggestion batch for which i didn't save usernames #and i made this more about the cackling goose than the canadian but nevertheless! hope u enjoy it whoever you were #animal art #wildlife #digital art #illustration

Haymitch choosing to spend his retirement raising geese, the most volatile, hateful, unfriendly animal there is- is so funny. I know for a fact Katniss and Peeta hear that man cussing out those birds when they attack him for no good reason. He just takes care of them while waiting for the liquor and I know it’s the stress of those unpredictable demon birds keeping him distracted. I bet he also has one that’s particularly mean and prone to attack and he’s named it Katniss.

#yes I know there’s nice geese- like the white mother goose kind #but I’m Canadian #and Canadian geese are NOT NICE #and be real #haymitch Abernathy is not politely feeding a flock of mother goose type geese bread #haymitch abernathy #the hunger games

one of my favourite shots from yesterday's outing at the lake

#my photography!#bird photography #birding #birds #canada goose #canadian goose #wildlife photography #thinking about the tumblr conversation about the inherent eroticism of rivals in combat #this photo looks so romantic #almost like dancing #compared to the photo I also got yesterday of two geese mating #which just looks like a little kid pulling another's hair for a few seconds #whereas this is an intense fight but looks so pretty...#anyways #gonna ref this for a drawing someday

Your f/o is okay with the fact that you might not be in a good mood. They don't expect you to be lighthearted all the time, or respond to jokes as much. They'll sit with you and wait out your bad mood with you.

F is for Fugol (Old English for bird)

While the Modern English word "fowl" refers to birds of the order Galliformes, the Old English "fugol" could refer to any bird. This is an example of semantic narrowing, where the meaning of a word becomes less general overtime.

i decided to BRUSH up (haha) on my digital painting skills today! i painted on top of a photo i took, so it's not completely an original piece, but it was definitely good practice for painting textures!
