We all go through our awkward phases! My blue jay friend is going through his annual molt. All of his head feathers fall out at once and then new ones grow in. But in the meantime… I thought my middle school era was epically awkward, but he might have me beat!

July in latergrams! Wolf Tree Wilderness Therapy & Arts had a super busy month, full of moments where wilderness therapy, art therapy, nature, camping, Cyanotype workshops, and new raccoon friends intersected. Definitely staying wild!

Our Saturday - The beautiful .
Here are some fun Blue jay facts:

💬 Master Mimics: Blue jays can imitate the calls of hawks! It's their way of fooling other birds or warning their own flock.
🧠 Brainy Birds: They’re part of the corvid family, which are some of the smartest birds on Earth!
🌳 Tree Planters: Blue jays hide acorns to eat later and often forget them, which helps forests grow.
🔊 Super Social: Blue jays love to chatter in groups called “banditry” (yes, really!)
🎨 Not Really Blue: Their feathers aren’t pigmented blue. Light scattering in their feather structure creates the color!

Welcome to our Saturday - The beautiful . As aptly states: "The Purple Finch is the bird that Roger Tory Peterson famously described as a 'sparrow dipped in raspberry juice.' Separating them from House Finches requires a careful look, but the reward is a delicately colored, cleaner version of that red finch. Look for them in forests, too, where you’re likely to hear their warbling song from the highest parts of the trees."
I had a treat the other day- from what I can discern, both a AND a arrived to feed together. As I am a mere at best, what do you professional birders think?

Today is ! My favorite family is headed by this momma and poppa . Every day, they come to eat at my bird feeder together (and sometimes the male cardinal feeds his female partner... ). If you are a cardinal looking for some romance, see my guide below!

✨ Cardinal Courtship 101:

💃🕺 Flashy Looks Matter: Males show off their bright red feathers and sing their hearts out to catch a female's eye.

🎶 Duet Goals: Pairs often sing to each other—literally finishing each other’s songs.

🍽️ “Beak to Beak” Feeding: Males woo females by feeding them seeds, gently touching beaks in the process. It's called mate-feeding and it’s as adorable as it sounds.

🏠 Nest Teamwork: Once paired, they pick a nest site together, and the female builds it—he stands guard like a nightclub bouncer.

💘 These birds mate for life, often returning to the same partner year after year.

Our Saturday bird pic! Today we have a glimpse of our friends. They have the misfortune of being deemed a “brood parasite,” meaning that female cowbirds lays her eggs in the nests of other birds, usually at the expense of the nest host’s own chicks. Yellow warblers can recognize cowbird eggs and will build another nest over top of the old one to hatch their own eggs.

Our Saturday bird pic! Today we have a glimpse of our friend. Our tufted titmice neighbors live in Ithaca year round and store seeds that they gather from our bird feeders to get them through the winters.

Saturday bird pic! Say hello to my friends! There is one special chickadee that visits and he has a white dot on the back of his head- thus, I’ve named him “Pip.” Our black-capped chickadee neighbors hide seeds to eat later and can remember hundreds to thousands of hiding places!
