A pair of wonderful photographs from Jocelyn Anderson.

On the left is a red-winged blackbird chick in its grumpy-faced borb stage. It looks rather like a baseball with droopy wings. 😁

On the right is a very young marsh wren who looks very curious about the world. 🥰

Now THAT'S a borb! This is a male crimson-headed partridge from Malaysia. ❤️ 🖤 💛

The MoDos also had plenty of offspring, and it seems like they all know right from the start how to pose. In a weird kind of way, the youngsters almost seem more serious (first birb) 😆⁠

For your viewing pleasure: a tufted titmouse daintily nibbles on a peanut held between its foot and a branch. What's not to love about these sweet-faced, teardrop-shaped borbs?

😊 🥰 😘 😘 💧 🤎 🤍 🖤 🥜

While I'm on a Jocelyn Anderson kick today, here's one of her photographs of a sweet little Tufted Titmouse. It looks so shy! 🥰 😘 😊

If a solitaire is perfectly round, does that make it a unit circle?

Super Borb!! A fluffy, poofy American Tree Sparrow. 🤎 🤍 💛

Look at this lovely, soft, delicate, female Northern Cardinal! The photographer calls her a "squishmallow," and I agree. 🐦

I follow NestBox Live on Facebook. This is a screenshot from their live feed of a puffy, perfectly round #borb tucked in away from the winter weather and snoozing for the night. From its appearance, and given what usually takes up residence in these boxes, it's most probably a variety of long-tailed tit. 💗 🐦

The camera is mounted in the nest box.

@loren and for all who might find this useful. This is my mom’s recipe for bird suet. She has a special caged feeder for it to feed the smaller birds but she’ll also put it on trees for larger birds. She spreads it on the trunks in the morning and by evening, it’s completely gone.

Suet goes rancid very quickly in warm months, fyi. In these months, she puts out dried mealworms and fruit jelly besides bird seed and peanuts.

Dimi (short for Diminuta — "tiny"), a wee borb of a black-capped chickadee, floofed out against the cold. She has a bad foot, so the photographer is helping her all she can so she survives the Canadian winter. 🤎 🤍 🖤
