Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🐾🤍

See you all next year!

Merry Christmas! #birds #HolidayRobin 🪶❤️

An early Christmas present for me, a new bird! I had never seen a Snow Goose until this morning when I saw two flying overhead. These birds are among the most abundant species of waterfowl in the world but are a big deal around here (Michigan) because they are not often seen.

The trumpeting call of a Sandhill Crane hanging in the air. I heard a Sandhill Crane pair calling down the trail and wondered if I could see their call in the current conditions.I quickly tootled over to the Cranes, working to get an angle of where their call could be seen

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec.24 Their slightly nasal sounding beep beep beeps are one of the best sounds during our long winters. This Red-breasted Nuthatch pauses briefly in the frosty branches before checking out the pine cone for seeds! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 23 Crossbills love spruce and pine seeds. In the winter, when the trees are loaded with cones, flocks of crossbills will sometimes arrive in our area. This male White-winged Crossbill has plucked a spruce cone and is very focused on getting out all the seeds! #Birds 🪶

2025 favorite images, Day 24: A rare close encounter with a secretive bird, a sora forages over its reflection in the marsh. #birds

2025 favorite images, Day 23: A male northern cardinal sits on an American beautyberry branch with clusters of berries at his feet and a single berry held in his bill. #birds

Favorite 2025 images, Day 22: A water moccasin with its tongue extended holds its head high over the lawn on the side of a trail through a marsh, a smattering of yellow flowers throughout the grass.

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 🪶

Hard to miss this majestic raptor… Harris’s Hawk 🪶

A sweet little puffball of a Black-capped Chickadees sits frozen on top of a cattail reed. The Blue Jays yelled a warning and all the little birds froze. I couldn't see what the danger was, but a Cooper's Hawk (a raptor that hunts songbirds) was flying around the area earlier.

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 21 Crow is our friend. She has a damaged wing, but can fly, and has come back to nest in the area, and hang out in our yard, for the last few years. She’s getting a drink and is showing off the subtle iridescence that crow feathers have! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

This time I was a bit more relaxed behind the camera — maybe the redpoll’s cuteness and fine details came through a little better? 🤔🪶 Perfect timing for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #SideProfiles. 赤いおでこが可愛い🥰新機材のポテンシャルを発揮できてるかな？🤔 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #CommonRedpoll #ベニヒワ #birds #野鳥

This Dusky Thrush paid a visit right outside my window at dawn. I intentionally aimed for a softer rendering to capture the gentle morning light. 😊🪶 ツグミも丸くなってますね。これは #ふくふく鳥選手権 エントリーだな🤣 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #DuskyThrush #ツグミ #birds #野鳥

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideProfiles any 'Birds Side Profile'. I’ve chosen #waders, aka #shorebirds, and #waterfowl. 🪶❤️ #birds #ukbirds #birding

Good morning! 🪶

Goodnight, sweet Angel dreams. ❤️😇😴💤

Daily #Destiel 💙💚 They are so married. 😊😉❤️

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Grounded birds on the ground. The alternative is #HolidaySeason captures of birds that feel seasonal. I’ve combined the two themes with the perfect bird! 🪶❤️ #birds #ukbirds #gardenbirds #birding

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 17 Why use wings when you can just engage missile mode? This downy woodpecker male was foraging among the spruce trees, and decide that for this short journey, wings were not needed! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 16 Tree Swallows love to hunt bugs around and over the marshes, but they also like to bath in them. This Tree Swallow had just flown into the water like a missile, submerged, and is emerging to fly away while shaking off the water! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 15 House Sparrows live here year round and they often nest in our yard. They are wonderful parents and are constantly hunting bugs to feed their babies. This female paused a moment while looking for bugs in the flowering apple tree! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

Happy Winter Solstice… flashback to exactly six months ago 🪶 #ArtAdventCalendar

2025 favorite images, Day 21: A roseate spoonbill, standing on one leg, tends to three juveniles in a nest up in a palm tree overlooking the wetlands. #birds

Another shot of the American bittern from the other day, holding its head up in the morning sunlight. #birds

Favorite images from 2025, Day 20: A male indigo bunting perches upon a low-hanging tree branch with a palmetto in the background. The blues on the bird are really fabulous. #birds
