Despite their local celebrity & ubiquitous nature, the Broad-winged Hawks of the Monadnock Region and New England remain a relative mystery. Researchers are hoping to change that—especially in light of evidence that it may be facing declines in some areas. https://t.co/XAp86wFHxH

Well for over six weeks I have been using the Fujifilm X-H2S and what a great experience so far. I have enjoyed the challenge of learning about all the features such as subject tracking set to birds. I love video and am currently using the 120 fps for slow motion, because birds are fast moving, especially flying birds and slow-motion captures it so well. Please enjoy this clip showing some of the birds I captured in the field.

Male birds with brighter plumage, like this Northern Cardinal, tend to have better immunity, winter survival, foraging ability, and skill at avoiding predators. https://t.co/g9FIbInYun @BirdNoteRadio https://t.co/BCnUMhj0JT

Thank you everyone who shared a photo for consideration for our December banner image - there were some corkers! A certain duck did turn our heads but in the end it was this superb snow bunting by @mostly_birds which won out. Love the perfectly captured seed-eating moment 🌨️❄️ https://t.co/tkfGJIIQpb
