Look who just decided to show up in our backyard, this afternoon!!!!

A very handsome, mature & inquisitive #BaldEagle. He was perched up in a tree, near our old, rusting swing set. Stayed there for about 10 minutes before taking off. He was pretty close! This is from my Samsung Galaxy 10 camera phone.

This fine fellow isn’t the first wild turkey I’ve ever seen, but it’s the first I’ve seen with all its feathers out. #birds #BirdPhotography

A massive looking turkey, in shades of brown, has all its feathers fluffed out in some kind of display. Its head is blue and pink. It’s standing in grass beside a gravel road.

****Current letters E or F****

JOIN IN friends of the birds:

THREAD: A to Z of birds.

The idea is to create a thread of birds starting with A and ending with Z (if we get that far).

Rules:
1. Common names not Latin names
2. Flexibility with common names (i.e.. American Robin (A) or (R)
3. IMPORTANT: You can post the same letter bird or the next letter forward but not backward.

(Only photographs please of any quality)

Happy WrensDay to all who celebrate!

This little floofball looks like they can't be bothered to perch, yet sing their little lungs out on the deck railing at home. (Carolina Wren)

Still processing photos, but got some decent shots of my first non-fleeting Bullock’s Orioles! She was particularly keen on getting her portrait taken and sat for quite some time. 🧡🖤

I took the new knee out for a short nature walk. It's getting easier to get around, but it's still not easy. Here's a bird, 2 butterflies and a flower for you. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #flowers #bloomscrolling #butterflies #nature #HoosierMast

A cute Barred Owlet standing tall, showing off her legs high up in the moss-covered trees, as s/he perched on a thin branch, being vigilant and poised, one of her wings stretched out. Such a character it looked like having wool leggings on, made me smile.

Captured this intimate moment of a Red-winged Blackbird mom feeding her offspring. It takes just a few seconds and off she goes..
The fledgling is already almost as big as mom is, can fly, but still needs to be fed.

Red-winged Blackbird mom -with speckled feathers- is feeding her young, both clinging to a vertical cattail at a pond where they build their nest.
The fledgling is already almost as big as mom is, but still needs to be fed.
Both birds are in sharp focus against a soft, green blurred background in their natural, tranquil habitat.
Photographed these intimate moments between mother and her offspring at a pond in Medina, Washington, PNW

The sight of the Red-winged Blackbirds’ breath floating out in little puffs like smoke. It's almost comical to see, as if the blackbird is puffing on a tiny invisible cigarette.

Feeling cute, will absolutely not delete later.

A picture-perfect Puffin gazing upwards, while taking a breather amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy clifftop colony on the island of Skomer. A penny for his or her thoughts?
