Kayaking this afternoon. So lucky to spend a good amount of time observing 2 Bald Eagles and then, upon returning, to see 2 different pairs of Loons. #Maine #wildlife #getoutdoors #kayak #eagles #loons #NotABirder
Wow, the local red-tailed hawk has been so Vocal the past 2 days. And, while cycling this afternoon, there were no fewer than a dozen hawks circling and calling. Moving prep??? #Hawks #birds #NotABirder
The cardinals coming to our feeder are all molting. The females remain on the ground and are the color of the sparrows. The males are showing some blue color under the back of the wings - very surprised by this. All look ragged and frazzled as if they just pulled an all-nighter. #birds #molting #cardinals #NotABirder
#morningWalk #merlins in Lowertown neighbourhood - I am guessing a young one was gleefully flying out, screeching βwheeeeeeβ as it would go for a circle of flight and come back to the treeβ¦ #notABirder
The Blue Jay hop....on, off, on, out with seed in the gulag. Usually, there are multiple hops back and forth. Some learn that a soft landing works better than jumping. Of course, they'd rather feed up on the platform. #BlueJay #BirdFeeder #NotABirder
They're coming soon, and now my feeders and cleaned and filled. Hummingbirds sighted in NJ....won't be long now. #hummingbirds #spring #migration #birds #NotABirder

They're getting closer! Time to clean the Hummingbird feeders. See this map, or look for Hummingbird Central 2025. #Hummingbird #spring #migration #notabirder

Red-winged blackbirds have begun migrating thru. They'll be here in the #Boston burb for about 2 weeks before moving on to marshes and ponds further north, like The Great Meadows, #Concord. #birds #Migration #NotABirder

Just one quick chance to photo this beautiful hunter, so sorry for the lack of a great image. This hawk has been a regular around our bird feeder, and is not shy about sitting closer to the house. Since I'm #NotABirder, I cannot tell if this is a sharp-shinned or cooper's hawk. #hawk #predator #bird
Grackle at the feeder. Their migration is right on time, so time to buy more birdfood. #birds #Grackle #BirdFeeder #NotABirder
Starlings are migrating back thru the Boston burbs. #birds #migration #NotABirder
@stephanie
I gotta say it, way to bury the lead. The boxes and wires are the much more interesting part of that photo. #NotABirder
Tuesday #Workout:
200 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
20 minutes of strength training
20 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)
26 KM of #Cycling (-1Β°C, -5Β°C Windchill, 61% humidity, and 13 km/hr wind)
The strength and HIIT workouts felt hard today.
It was a chilly ride (especially on #TeamShorts), and I got to see something amazing - a young squirrel get caught by a raptor of some sort (#NotABirder) and taken away. Will have to see if the bike camera caught it.
@stephanie what kind? #notABirder just curious π
On my 24ish km walk today with @WTL⦠#staycation #notabirder #waterfalls #rapids #dam #cormorants #cedarwaxwing
