This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing… if you even care.

Love this guy

That’s standard as in “pennant” or “banner”, not standard as in “normal”.

But it’s not a pennant-winged nightjar. THIS is a pennant-winged nightjar… if you even care.

I CARE I CARE

Congratulations to Wendy for passing her intake exam (mycoplasma test pending) and being the first of my birds to ever bite the vet for daring to touch her. This child is full on ready to hold her own in a fight. Upon arrival home, she got her last parasite med, and a pretty aqua bracelet to declare her a bird from Longfeather Lane.

I don’t remember if I introduced her last week, but Wendy came to me the same way as Tootles did: randomly by gift of the universe, after I said I wished Tootles had been a hen. I then received a phone call requesting my services to capture a peahen that was trespassing in someone’s yard that didn’t want her there.

I trucked out with my neighbors in case we needed extra hands but actually I just ended up looking super cool because we walked out to where Wendy was and I explained what I was going to do like some kind of professional peafowl catcher, like this happens all the time, and then I immediately caught her within 2 minutes of seeing her. Incredibly lucky first grab. Like it looked so professional they asked what they owed for removal. Ma'am this is a $200 bird, and you’re letting me take her for free.

Today I spotted a Robin nest in one of the apple trees. It looked fresh and had no eggs in it so I decided to take a chance and put a Birdsy camera there. It was so cute to see the bird sing while in the nest.⁠

A pair of Chickadees has decided to make the green Twoholer a home and the female started building yesterday 😍 I have not really seen or heard a lot from the House Wrens so maybe they decided to go elsewhere this year. I do have a Wren guard ready, and I added a shroud to reduce the hole size so no larger bird can get in either. I have never seen Chickadees nest, so this would be delightful. The focus of the camera is set higher up, so image quali will improve once the nest is built.
