A Moment with Nature: The Carolina Chickadee

“Amidst the delicate branches, the Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) perches gracefully, its feathers catching the soft sunlight. A moment frozen in time, where nature’s secrets are shared through subtle melodies.” - Copilot with edits

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

BOTD: Carolina Wren

Photo: Miki Jourdan

"More brightly colored than most wrens, and with a rich musical song, Carolina Wrens are common in open woods and backyards in the southeast. There they busily explore brushpiles and low tangles. The adults live in pairs all year, and they may 'duet' at any season, with the female giving a chattering note while the male sings. The northern edge of this species' range varies over time: it gradually expands northward during series of mild years, then gets knocked southward again by very severe winters."

The Birds I Never Met | North America's Extinct Birds

Recently I looked into a number of extinct birds from all around the world, but few of them shed light on those that I would've lived alongside. Today we're "borrowing" my mom's field guide on the Birds of Eastern and Central North America to learn about those birds that I might've witnessed had I been alive only a century ago!
