Ruby-Crowned Kinglet. These little birds move so fast that I almost never could get a good picture of it Ruby crown.

Anna’s hummingBORB!

Smug looking little guy. (White breasted Nuthatch)

A goth family (Brandt’s Cormorant with babies).

A young Black Crowned Night Heron practicing his hunting skills. Alas, he needs more practice.

Caught a House Finch loving on a tree.

A handsome Belted Kingfisher. [my own photo; Los Gatos, CA] #birds #birding

NSFW: [OC] The other morning I heard off and on gun shots for 20 minutes early in the morning. I looked out the window and couldn’t find anything, so I went back to sleep. See comments as I am exceeding the allowable text….

Bald eagle with fish. (My own photo). #birds

“Look sis! No head!” Everyone has a weird sibling. Great horned owlets - my own photos. #birds

Anna’s Hummingbird’s normal body temperature is about 42C (107F). In the winter time, they may go into a state of torpor - slowing down their heart rate and breathing, and lowering their body temperature to about 9C (48F). #birds

Cormorants feathers are not 100% waterproof. Therefore, you can often find them with their wings spread, waiting for them to air dry. #birds

My husband’s cousin has a barn for her horses, and there are Barn Swallows who share the space. They recently had babies. I love their little faces 😍 (My own photos with taken with Sigma long lens - 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM Lens). #birds

Snowy Egret. Caught it just at the right moment 🥰 #birds

A French lemonade from 1651

A very cute Black bird standing on top of a hedge like a statue. I came so close and it didn’t flinch at all. I think it was posing perfectly for me.

White Wagtail. I love the way they walk!

Red kite in Denmark!

#BrownPelicans seem to fly into each other a lot. #birds

Waiting for my lunch at a cafe and this #WhiteStork flew overhead. Lucky I had my camera with me! ❤️❤️ #birds

I love the Mohawk haircut of the #RingedTeals. #birds #wildlifePhotography

I caught a female #MandarinDuck sticking her tongue out at me! #birds #wildlifePhotography

Such a pretty duck! #RingedTeal #Birds #WildlifePhotography

Don’t look into his eyes!! (Great Horned Owl on my antenna at dusk).

Baby #AmericanCoots are so cute 😍🥰! #Birds #WildlifePhotgraphy #3EyeballsStudio #Nikon

Angry Bird. #SongSparrow #birds #WildlifePhotgraphy #3EyeballsStudio #Nikon

An #AmericanKestrel kiting near my house. It looks so fun I think I would definitely want to try that! #birds #WildlifePhotgraphy #3EyeballsStudio #Nikon

This #Squirrel was happily chomping on my #JapaneseMapletree. I have to say, it is really pretty darn cute. #Animals #Mammals #WildlifePhotography #3EyeballsStudio #Nikon

He looks like he is about to sneeze. 😆 #AnnasHummingbird #WildlifePhotography #3EyeballsStudio #Nikon

I love the punky terns! #ElegantTerns #CaspianTerns #birds #WildlifePhotography #3EyeballsStudio Taken in Pacifica, CA.

This cute #AmericanKestrel has been waking me up every morning at the crack of dawn with his “klee klee klee klee klee”. #birds #raptors #WildlifePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

I am not sure who this handsome guy is. Maybe he is the father of Bucket? Or maybe he is one of Ramona’s babies from another year? I caught him sitting on a low branch of a not-too-tall tree. #GreatHornedOwl #birds #WildlifePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

Doesn’t this little #CommonChiffchaff look like he belongs on a motivational poster? #birds #WildlifePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

This was a young #RedTailedHawk I encountered during one of my bird walks. I watched it catch a mouse just minutes after this photo was taken. RTHs can eat up to 4 rodents a day. #birds #raptors #WildlifePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

A baby #BlackTailedDeer. Deer will sometimes eat meat. They won’t hunt for it but if they find an injured or dead animal, they might feast on it. The calcium is helpful especially for antlers growing. #animals #mammals #NaturePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

Here are some more photos of Ramona’s baby. My son decided to call it Bucket. I was playing peek-a-boo with Bucket yesterday. Every time I stuck my head out the window, Bucket’s eyes would widen as if wondering where I came from. #GreatHornedOwl #birds #NaturePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

Finally, the baby of Ramona was kind enough to sit still for me to take some photos. (Ramona is a #GreatHornedOwl who has been coming to my house since at least 2018, and having 1 or 2 babies every year. ) #birds #NaturePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

The tongue of an #AcornWoodpecker is 3Xs the length of their beaks, and protects the brain from impacts by wrapping around it. Barbs at the end of the tongue helps with grabbing insects. They kind of look like sloths with beaks 😆 #birds #NaturePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

I love the blue jewel eyes of the #DoubleCrestedCormorants. They look goofy but are skilled divers who can dive up to 25ft in depth. It is especially fun to watch them when they are in their mating plumage. Photos taken in March of 2025. #birds #NaturePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

This little #Coyote found his breakfast. I watched him run away with the ground squirrel in his mouth, trying to hide from his pack who all wanted a piece of his meal. #mammals #animals #WildlifePhotography #3Eyeballs

#BrownPelican from Pacifica, CA Brown Pelicans are the only Pelican species that dive headfirst from as high as 100 ft to catch their meals. #birds #NaturePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

A family of #GreatHornedOwls came to visit me every year but stopped two for 2 years. All I heard were their hoots at night but couldn’t see them. Last night, I heard them and saw them in my garden as I was about to eat a late dinner! #Birds #Raptors #NaturePhotography #3EyeballsStudio

Lots of #AnnasHummingbirds today. #birds #NaturePhotography #3EyeballsStudio
