This red-breasted merganser requires your attention

#BirdsOfMastodon #birbs #birder #merganser

seen here drying her wings, displaying a white belly to a group of non-plussed looking black scoters
bill held high, she floats above (behind) a foreground black-scoter, peering at the camera.
captured here looking straight at the camera, the bill is hard to see and the merganser looks a bit derpy

I like tree swallows. Pretty little birb.

This prothonotary warbler was showing off last week in Harford County, MD - up the hill from the Susquehanna riverbank 🤩

Question for my #birding #birder #birdersofmastodon friends:

Is there a reasonably inexpensive device like the #Cornell #Merlin app that I can setup to run continuously? I can have power and either Ethernet or WiFi available.

I see that the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has several units that they use for research purposes that are based on #raspberryPi so I'm guessing there's a good project I haven't found yet.

It would be cool if I could feed it to the various research projects, too.
