My last 3 shots from this Pileated Woodpecker nest I got to watch this year. 1st shot is parent leaving with fecal sac. 2nd shot 2 babies waiting to be fed. 3rd shot a mouthful for the baby. 🪶

I made this photo Sunday night near the Boundary Waters. The wildfire smoke is so thick now you wouldn't be able to see the night sky. They're getting some much needed rain today to hopefully help get the fires under control. #astro #astrophotography #Minnesota #PhotographersUnited

Happy Friday everyone! Steller’s Jay are one of my favorite #Corvidae 🩵💙🖤 This one posed nicely, although he stayed in a busier frame than I prefer. #BirdOfTheDay

Rob's #birdoftheday today is #ButtShotts or #OpenBeaks. Have torn something Latin/unpronounceable in my heel, so confined to sofa/desk. Luckily, a female green woodpecker is bringing her young to our meadow to feed. Taken from the sofa this afternoon. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBehind #birds #ECK
