Back on my Bird Shit This is one of my favorite #Grounded bird photos, an Indian Peafowl earth bending To maintain all its beauty, a peacock requires dust baths to help control mites in its fantastic display of feathers 📷🌿🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #BOTD

Cape May Warblers are an "East Coast" warbler, which we never get to see here in Oregon, so it was a thrill to get such close looks in Cuba. #birding March 2025

Very fortunate that my car rental with Alamo was RIGHT next to a blue-billed white tern that was still foraging for a fledgling I dropped the car off and observed the parent with a row of fish, and figured if it was hungry, it would eat them My instincts told me to wait still Good instincts 📷🌿🪶

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 21 Crow is our friend. She has a damaged wing, but can fly, and has come back to nest in the area, and hang out in our yard, for the last few years. She’s getting a drink and is showing off the subtle iridescence that crow feathers have! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

I love my Pepperoni 📷🍕🐈 #catdad

@dptbirder.bsky.social check out this stretch. Not great form. Ah well.

Time to go home. Trading in 80 degrees and rainy for 70 degrees and rainy 😅

Masked Lapwing (Vanellus miles) for #WaderWednesday 😀 #BirdingAustralia #lapwings #shorebirds #plovers

A much more distant look and a bit of enhancements on the photos to show a clearly red tail Through my bins this was the look I had. Enough to make out a nearly all white wing, much shorter bill and tiny streamers that eventually flickered the hint of red Red-tailed Tropicbird 📷🌿🪶

This I was one of my last life birds on O’ahu It was actually a decent flyby and enough for me to make out plenty of detail on the bird Makapu’u Lookout did not disappoint White-tailed Tropicbird

This is why the house always wins. The prediction markets were over under 25. And I hit it exactly. Didn’t even mean to Came into the final day with 21 and there were only 2 likely targets at the wetlands, 3 if I’m keen. Seawatch instead 3 was expected. 4 was a surprise 🥰 It’s house money

Sooty Tern — lifer 🪶 Annnnnnnnd… that makes exactly 25 lifers! Barely eeked it out with out last sea watch before the storm comes in!

Looked like a nap on the water—but that quiet red eye caught me staring. #birds

I realize how lucky I am with the help of the internet and great birders before me to find both of the forest Oahu endemics This may be my last trip to Oahu for a time. And by the time I return, their population may improve…or decline and i might never get a chance to see them in the wild again

"It's going down at the bird feeder!" My bird feeder is like a bar. I've got the regulars, chickadees and juncos, who are there on a daily basis. Once in a while, however, an Evening Grosbeak "biker gang" takes over the place. #Birds #BirdsOfBlueSky #SciArt #PhotoHour #InterspeciesInteractions
