Pigeon Attempts To Court Falcon

Pigeon attempts to court falcon

"There's no wildlife here. The land is barren and stripped from farming chemicals"

I just saw two blue herons fly super low over our house, which means they've been fishing in the creek behind us, which means there's fish there. Which means there's bugs to feed the fish and algae to feed the bugs, which means the water and soil is worth something damnit.

Yes, I'm sorry the suburb isn't the grand, sweeping swath of uninhabited land that you so desperately crave but would learn to loathe, but saying that the land here is barren and that there's no wildlife here and that there's nothing to salvage- that's a You problem. Nature might be struggling, but against all odds it is at least trying.

top bird photographs of 2023. i didn't necessarily choose the best photos that i've taken, but rather the ones that i like the best. 2024 is the year i'm going to start heading out further and further and finding new habitats - most of what's surrounding and near to me is forest and broad-leafed woodland and, well, it shows. more wetlands, more deserts, more ocean, more grasslands
