For my #birder folks
I now have enough native plants planted that I'm seeing hummingbirds in my yard daily rather than rarely. I am nervous about putting hummingbird feeders up since I've read plenty on how you can do more harm than good if they aren't disinfected/cleaned properly.
What does your cleaning schedule look like?
Mr Cardinal returned for another visit today.
We think he's the young male who visited all last Spring. Tho his feathers look kinda ruffled, his crown is no longer the floppy mohawk it was.
I'm pleasantly surprised that we are able to identify specific birds, not juat species but individuals.

Morning. Google isn’t helping me identify my new friends this morning. Help? UK, up North. I didn’t touch anything and the photo is zoomed in from much higher. Nest is deep… built on a small garden trellis & the vines around it, only about 2 ft above ground ?! Just curious, it isn’t my home. 🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛

Every month, we’re at this spot to collect photos, but only today did I notice that a mama bird built her nest chest high an arm’s length from our camera trap. Any idea what kind of birds these are?

I would have been fine with the turkey as our national bird, TBH

I’m #watching ep 1 of #ExtraordinaryBirder with #ChristianCooper (of “ #CentralParkKaren “ fame).
He’s visiting the #beautiful island of #Borinquén (aka #PuertoRico), where my family comes from, and is showing me things that I had never heard of or experienced in my many long visits
Though he can be a little melodramatic for my taste, his particular #fab brings a refreshing #vibe to the #nature #documentary scene.
I’m not really a #birder, but I think I’ll keep watching 👍🏼 [h/t #Merlin]

Nice essay by Christian Cooper, the #birder who was accosted by a white woman in Central Park 3 years ago. His life has changed for the better since that ugly incident. Gift link:

This pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) let me get super close with my phone camera. I was still in my bee suit, so I assume he didn't quite know what I was.

Is there a way to search *for* hashtags, i.e. to see what hashtags people might be using to flag a specific topic? Some master list compiled somewhere in alphabetical order that can be searched? This seems so necessary if we're not going to get full text search any time soon.
Sure, #bird #birds #birding #birder #birb are easy, but see how many it took to make sure a post gets seen to how many searches to find simple bird posts? Get into any more complex or vague subject and I don't even know where to start sometimes.
On multiple occasions, I've guessed at hashtags for a topic and gotten little or no response. I have no way to tell if that might be because it's being discussed under another hashtag or if it's just not something anyone cares to talk with me about. (Or maybe it's a limit of federation and low follower count and my post is just not propagating very far.)
The next post is tangential to this question but related to making hashtag search work:

@DebOppermann Just saw a Rufus powering through my front yard. Time to set out feeders! #birder
