Taken 08/12 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom (sorry - not traveling to Asia anytime soon). Quite fitting as someone mentioned to me these birds look like the henchmen for a Disney villain! They build interesting hanging nests and I find their sheen and eye color to be eye-catching.
Taken 08/14 in Central Florida. This mature crane and junior are part of a non-migratory trio I see on the nature trail behind my house almost daily. For those who don’t know about their call, I’d liken it to a metallic-sounding rooster! Over time they let me get close with some patience and proper positioning. This was shot...
This guy has been visiting us regularly. I hope he takes care of our ground hogs for us.
I spent a few hours shooting four Osprey over one of our local harbors. It’s such a sight to see them pull fish right out of the water!
Not 100% sure, but I think it might be an Evening Grosbeak. Photo taken in Oregon.
I’m always stunned with how thoroughly these lil guys soak and splash in the top of my fountain. I guess dealing with nectar all day is probably a sticky business that warrants having a wash.
I caught one of the three baby scrub jays from my backyard staring curiously at a female northern flicker (red-shafted.) It hopped closer and closer until it was just six or eight inches from the flicker, at which point she flew off and scared the fledgeling away....
Little guy ditched his woman to follow me around for about 10 minutes.
I’ve been so bummed out because I haven’t been seeing the usual number of Osprey as I did last year....

I know this isn’t strictly about birding but who doesn’t like Eastern Bluebirds?...
This handsome fella was pointed out to me by another birder. I was hoping to see a bird of prey this year and I did which is super cool.
