• bald eagle
    • feels weird that this was the only one on the list with no notes so: saw briefly overhead in california. majestic as fuck
  • crows
    • lots of them but shoutout to my crow brothers (the three my mom feeds every day), feather, len, and gar
      • we have a new crow brother! i believe mom called him al
      • ok she tried al but ultimately started calling him what i thought was augie, but it's apparently OG, short for "other guy"
      • feather talks to me now!!! i was walking up to the mailbox and he hopped on the fence nearby and made almost a purring sound and then escorted me home once i'd collected the mail
    • one taking a bath in a big puddle by the bus stop!!!!!
  • pigeons
    • actually i haven't seen any yet this year but i did see a really cute one in a dream so i'm counting it. it was small and round and looked like it would fit nicely in my cupped hands
      • apparently this is a good omen so i will certainly take it over the endless anxiety dreams of late
      • important update: i have now seen like a hundred pigeons
    • giant flock near the old taxi stand jubilantly tossing garbage into the air as they looked for tasty trash
    • one extremely beautiful pigeon in ottawa who was extremely mad about my paltry offerings of pretzels
  • ducks
    • the huuuuuuge flock at burton's pond. they seemed a little mad at me for daring to walk on the sidewalk near them and not giving them offerings
  • seagulls
    • absolutely wilding before the big blizzard in march. circling the computer science building like vultures
    • three fucking GIANT ones with the flock of pigeons at the old taxi stand i mentioned above. eat well large kings
    • one carrying a crab in its beak at the harbour
  • starlings
    • they have become brazen and squawk at us for food when the crows are getting fed
    • my next door neighbor loves them and so he crushes up peanuts to make it easier for their little beaks to carry them ;____;
    • real cute one hopping away from me. i love their little tails
  • yellow warbler
    • saw it from the bathroom window and was like ??? there's a tennis ball on the shed roof? but holy shit no. no. it was simply the roundest bird
  • sparrows
    • my little friends every time i had coffee in the mornings outside the cafe :')
  • ?? little hoppy birds by the rocks at the harbour
    • unknown ID. so hoppy
  • double-crested cormorant
    • chilling on a rock in the harbor, saw with j and b, very cool!
  • mysterious woodpecker
    • ???? wing coloration of a northern flicker but the red was in the wrong place? obsessed. gone through lists of woodpeckers to find it but simply cannot
