Greater bird biodiversity can make people more joyful, according to a study published in Ecological Economics.

 

The authors calculated that being around 14 additional bird species provided as much satisfaction as earning an additional $150 a month.

The Common Cormorant or Shag

by Christopher Isherwood

 

The Common Cormorant or shag

Lays eggs inside a paper bag.

The reason you will see no doubt

It is to keep the lightning out.

But what these unobservant birds

Have never noticed is that herds

Of wandering bears may come with buns

And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.

Day 329/366 of Project 365 (Tuesday, 2020 November 24 - 198th consecutive daily photo): Affectionally known as birdwatching when I took up the hobby oh so many years ago, those who engage in the sport have since adopted the more masculine-sounding term birder.

 

"Life is simple

Eat. Sleep. Bird."

 

By chance, this was photographed from the back deck on the morning of our first serious snowfall of the season.

Little Blue Heron

 

The Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) is a small heron. It breeds in the Gulf States of the US, through Central America and the Caribbean south to Peru and Uruguay. It is a resident breeder in most of its range, but some northern breeders migrate to the Southeastern US or beyond in winter. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range, as far as the Canada–US border.

A Cedar Waxwing, one of many at The Coves.

A White-faced Ibis preens with its long bill. The feathers of this species show many colours with a metallic sheen when seen in the right light. I witnessed this behaviour at the 68 St Wetlands in the northeastern part of the major city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
