Curious Wilson’s Warbler Checks Out Camera While Passing Through Los Alamos On Way To Winter In Central America

by

Passing through on its way to winter in Central America, this Wilson’s Warbler checked out the camera in October  deep in the ravine of Los Alamos Canyon. These tiny birds breed in the high mountains of Colorado and north all the way to the Arctic Ocean. Wilson’s Warblers prefer wet forests, bogs and brushy thickets near streams where they hunt for insects. Look for them in Los Alamos particularly in May and again from August through October.

Also called the Beaver Supermoon because this is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long winter ahead.

For the Los Alamos Daily Post

Who doesn’t love art, and particularly, hilarious art? One of my favorite artists is Tommy Siegel, of “extremely accurate birds” fame. Tommy Siegel is a cartoonist for the New Yorker.

I love art, especially weird art, and I find his work hilarious. You can purchase his calendars here at his official website.

Unfortunately he, and other artists, are now being ripped off by fake ads on Facebook.

Below is an ad for an Extremely Accurate Birds calendar knockoff that has nothing to do with Tommy Siegel, and will not benefit him at all:
