There's a Burrowing Owl in the middle of this picture, I swear. A bird I never would have seen without an amazing woman named Deb spotting it and then coaching the rest of us hopeful birders until we could see it too. 😂 Lifer! May the gods shine upon you, Deb! #birds

Walter and Smoke 💕🐾

Snipes are still sniping. (Stinkin' cute, to my eye.) Look at that long bill preening those cute tail feathers! Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago delicata) is a small, stocky shorebird, intricately patterned with three long buffy streaks down the back. #RidgefieldNWR #PNW #Birds 📷🪶

Look at this small hidden beauty!

The American Bittern--also a lifer!--was way easier to spot than the owl. About 20 feet off the trail! 😂 #birds

Yesterday there were a few Goldfinches around and today the rest of the flock arrived. It was defiantly finchy in the feeders! They all wanted this feeder, not the others with the same seeds. Looking through the posts on the porch rail. 🪶

Is that a frog under the white trim on the porch roof? Merlin did not identify the animal. 😅

Late in the afternoon an annoyed Carolina Wren was looking around trying to cope with the fact that a human was sitting on the porch. My chair is near the big geranium on the west corner of the porch that has signs of a nest getting started. Last year's nest was on the east corner. 🪶

Good morning. I wonder, does living near a McDonalds affect a Grey Heron’s diet? 🤔 Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Feathers showcasing the beauty and intricacies of feathers. The alt today is #BirdInABush any bird in perched in a bush. #birds #photography #Stunday #Heron #ECK

I was looking for bunnies, but i found duckies... have a happy Easter friends 💜🎉

Big Bear Valley Bald Eagles: The chick has hatched! You can see the chick's head popping up under Jackie (you can hear lots of cheeping, too). More good news: the second egg has a pip. Watch the nest on a live cam: www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L... #birds

#BirdOfTheDay A close up photo of one of my favourite spring songster birds. The beautiful Blackcap.

Walking my dog shortly, going to do a number of reposts first. Then I will catch up in a few hours. Please have the best of Sundays. The entries today have been so so good. Thank you. 🙏 I love seeing them. #BirdOfTheDay #Robin #ForJanet #BirdInABush #birds #photography #Stunday

Find me at the Beach! Happy Easter 🐰! #BeachLife

I feel judged 😆 #photography 📸🪶

Heavy rain made it pretty tough for my 200-800mm lens on an R7, but I managed a doc-shot of a very early Field Sparrow in my yard. We've had an odd pulse of arrival in the past few days, Field Sparrow is sub-rare here in Nova Scotia. #birds #Birding #Birdwatching

Something new I learned hiking this week. The Propertius Duskywing (Erynnis propertius) butterfly is reliant on the native oak trees for its larva's host plant. They were flying among the Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana) on the Lyle Cherry Orchard hike. #Inverts #PNW 📷🦋🥾🐛

Today I found it BY MYSELF, before anyone else was there. 😂 Wildly proud of this one. Getting out at dawn is always the magic trick. #birds
