I drove back over to southwest Missouri hoping to find the leucistic eagle 🪶 again and pray I could get some clean shots. She never got closer than 250 yards but I had some very good light to help this time 📷 #Birds #RareEagle #NatureLovers #Wildlife #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueSkyPhotographer

#BirdOfTheDay by @alan678.bsky.social is #birdsyoulove. This particular one is special. A friend of my parent's had died. I'd known this man most of my life. I conducted his funeral. His favourite bird was the King Parrot. Day after the funeral this one visited, never had before & never did again.

A sort of grumpy looking female mountain bluebird has chosen an ocotillo branch as her #perfectperch. 🪶 It's been sooo breezy, probably why she's ticked off 😂🤎 January 2026 ~ Yuma, AZ #birdoftheday #photography #birdlover

Good morning, y’all! Some happy news from our dirt road. We welcomed a beautiful Black Angus heifer calf weighing 60 pounds, and mama is doing a great job. Moments like this remind me why I love life on the farm.

January 10, 2011. My Mom, Bettye, is celebrating Auburn winning the BCS title. She was all Auburn every second of the day. She passed in March. Most days are unbearable, but the memories are worth everything. I wanted to share her cute face full of joy. #wareagle #auburnfootball #nationalchamps

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @alan678.bsky.social is #Feathers&Form. This is a juvenile flamingo with just the slightest tinge of pink. It will become fully pink by eating more algae and brine shrimp. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #birdphotography #animals #wildlife #naturephotography

This particular white-faced ibis flew in like a boss and held it's ground, showing off #FeathersAndForm with lovely colors and a distinctive profile 💚🪶 December 2025 ~ Salton Sea #birdoftheday #birdphotography #birding #photography

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

A small flock of mountain bluebirds surprised me on Christmas day. Here's one of the cuties that took a little breather on an ocotillo branch 💙 🪶 #bluebird #birding #photography #sonorandesert #smallgift December 2025 ~ Winterhaven, CA
