Something I've seen exactly once: an Osprey helping to keep Seapowet Beach safe for the kiddies. #osprey #bird #birdphotography #birdsoftivertonri #birdsofrhodeisland

“…not that there’s anything wrong with that” #birds

The Rock Dove is one of the most dapper birds in nature. Eye monocle, nice neck scarf, coat with tails, classy slacks, and spats…very sharp! #birds

The first catch of the day, with his first catch of the day… #birds

It’s been a content drought this summer, but I got my first Green Heron yesterday. Lighting wasn’t ideal, but I’ll be looking for better shots of it soon
