American Tree Sparrows • It’s unfair how nice birds photograph in the snow when winter birding is so much less exciting than other seasons (in Indiana at least) #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Two Brown Creeper photos I saw my first ever on Christmas after wanting to find one forever and then we went to a park a few weeks ago and saw at least 3 on one short hike. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Bald Eagle It was flying over the creek where hundreds of geese and ducks enjoying the only non-frozen water in the area #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

I’m going to try to start posting again. I kinda fell off the habit for a long while but I’m trying to be more meaningful on bird photos this year.

Cooper’s Hawk • Its been at our brush pile twice today trying to catch House Sparrows #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Very cute turkey vulture my sister drew! 🪶 #birds

Haven’t posted here in a while. But this got this Osprey picture today! #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

A baby Red-winged Blackbird! It’s nest was in the reeds and its parents were right out of the shot but it did seem small to be out of its nest 😅 hopefully it was just practicing hopping around #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

This Eastern Phoebe had a lot to say. Their call is pretty recognizable as they basically call out their name Pokemon style #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Tufted Titmouse perched on a branch. This picture is actually from a few weeks ago but I’m behind on photo editing 😅 #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Chipping Sparrow on a tree branch. They are very small and cute! #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Cedar Waxwing - it has a nest in this tree! They were bringing nesting materials into the nest, not sure if there are babies or eggs yet. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

I really like this shot I took of a Red-headed Woodpecker. It’s pretty rare that I manage to get photos of birds in motion that are in focus #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Turkey Vulture 🥰 #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Female Red-winged Blackbird • I actually think they are prettier than the males #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

I’m at 112 birds for the year so I have just over 6 months to see 88 more birds to reach my goal. Definitely possible but knowing it will require 48+ new lifers makes me worried 😅😅

Another Mourning Dove photo since the other one was popular…. I love the pink on this one’s neck. Not sure if it’s common or not, another one in my yard has gold on their neck. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

One of the few warblers I’ve seen this year so far, Northern Parula. Hopefully I have more warbler luck hiking tomorrow or camping later this week. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Built this platform feeder today! I think it turned out pretty good considering I’ve never built anything before 😅 the birds already seem very excited to use it. This isn’t the definite location yet so I only kinda stuck it in the ground thus the bricks holding it steady.

A new lifer! A Lincoln’s Sparrow in my backyard 🤩 #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Yellow Rumped Warbler • at least in Indiana these are the warblers that seem to appear first and stay the longest. This guy has been hanging out in my yard for a few days now. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature 🪶

Wild rabbit in my yard 💕💕💕 #rabbit #indiana #wildlife #photography #canon80d #wildlifephotography #nature #animalphotography

Purple Martin 🥰 #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography 🪶

Fish Crow • If you haven’t heard what these guys sound like, look it up. They make cute frog like noises. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography 🪶

Every time I see a hairy or downy woodpecker I almost always have to spend a little time figuring out which one it is. This one is a Hairy Woodpecker. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography 🪶

The single American Coot is still hanging out at our neighborhood pond #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography 🪶

Not a bird. But instead; a bird looking tree. #nature #naturephotography

Northern Flicker in flight. I would have liked the trees to not be there but I still like the photo. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography 🪶

As I was getting ready to go bike to a nearby park I noticed a Pileated Woodpecker in the backyard 🤩 #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography 🪶

First time seeing an Eastern Towhee in the backyard!! I’ve seen them in parks before but it’s the most exciting when new birds are right outside!! #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #canon80d #wildlifephotography 🪶

This is from last June when a Brown Booby traveled all the way up to Indiana to hang out for a bit. It was such a cool birding experience to see it. #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #wildlifephotography 🪶

Red-tailed Hawk from the other day I almost biked to a local park today to bird but with all the rain we’ve gotten lately, I figure it’s probably super muddy right now. The weather should be better next week 🤞 #birding #indiana #wildlife #photography #birds #wildlifephotography 🪶
