Been a while, wanted to share this pretty American Goldfinch I caught hanging out by the pond the other day! 🪶🐦🐥 #birdsky #birdsofboston

Some extra details, they were smaller than mallards and were divers! #birdsky

Saw these ducks yesterday, but I was too far away and without binoculars - looks to me like either ruddy duck or bufflehead, thoughts from fellow birders? Boston area! 🪶🦆 #birding #bostonbirds #birdsky

Eastern phoebe spotted on a walk, a new lifer for me! 🪶🐦

A Canadian goose on a pond

A cackling goose was reported in my area on eBird so I've been taking close looks at the geese but so far only Canadian geese to be seen 🪶🦆 #birding #bostonbirds #birdsky

Picture of a big ol turkey

Turkeys are so silly looking, saw this one while walking home yesterday!! 🪶🦃 #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds

I do enjoy seeing a merganser 🪶🐦🦆

Definitely! It's awesome that the theory replicated here, and you guys did a ton of work in different models to characterize the phenotype in various ways, so it's really cool to see. Can't wait to see the next studies on senescent microglia in MS!

Nice study, I remember seeing this pop up on biorxiv a while ago! Congrats on the publication :)

I love these two cormorants who hang out at my local pond in the morning to bask in the sun 🪶🐦 #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds

And the photo evidence for the cardinal and woodpecker! 🪶🐦🦆 #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds

A hawk in the branches

There was a veritable smorgasbord of birds at my park today! Mergansers, cormorants, a hawk, a woodpecker, buffleheads, and of course the regulars: geese, mallards, and cardinals ❤️🪶🐦🦆 #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds

A small blackish blueish brownish bird with a yellow eye standing on grass

Today's bird is the common grackle who flew down into the grass next to me when I was walking through the park! Love the iridescent feather colouring 🤩🪶

Appreciate the confirmation! I'd seen one on this pond before so I was fairly sure but without its distinctive head and bill out I didn't want to say 100% :)

Picture of two male wood ducks and a female swimming in a line on a pond, alongside a sleeping black and white duck in the center of the frame and a Canadian goose to the top right.

I saw the much coveted (to me) male wood duck today! Before this I'd only seen the females, so I was super excited! 🦆🪶 Also pictured is a duck that was sleeping so I couldn't properly see it's markings but I think it might be a ring necked duck, and a Canadian goose. #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds

Caught a red bellied woodpecker in the park today getting a nice meal out of a tree! #birding #birdsky #bostonbirds 🪶🐦

A far away ring necked duck on the pond today! A new addition to my life list :) 🪶🦆

Two of my favorite things, severance and DND, in one image 😍

I've always known bluejays as shouters, I think of them trying to be birds of prey, but today I heard one with a beautiful chirping song and I was so surprised! I had no clue they could do that 😅 #birds

A small grey and white Northern mockingbird on ground patched with brown grass and sticks and white snow.

Caught a northern mockingbird on camera today! I love seeing these guys around, their songs and mimikry are really so impressive! #birds #birding #birdsky 🪶🐦

Three mallard ducks, two which have white patches on their throats, and one without.

Had some domestic mallard visitors at the pond today, I believe they are bibbed mallards? Very cute!

Hi yes please at the very least can't wait to see everyone else's birds 🥹💕🪶

Nothing more exciting than seeing a lifer at your regular bird pond, check out this very handsome green wing teal duck I saw today!! 🦆
