Hanging with Gaston, a wild, friendly grouse. Apparently some grouse just like hanging out with humans.

I was surprised to spot this beautiful Green Heron (Butorides virescens) on one of my outings to Lake Ballinger this winter, gliding gracefully over the tranquil lake, displaying the beautiful colors of their vibrant wings. I usually see them here between Spring and Fall. Evidently some of them are wintering in Wester Washington to my delight.

I captured this cute Short-eared Owl amidst tall grasses after a successful hunt and while eating sticking his pink tongue out, like he was teasing me.
They migrate to our area, concentrating mainly at the fields of Skagit Valley/ Samish Flats in the state of Washington, hunting at dusk and dawn close to the ground, relying on their acute hearing to find their prey (voles, small birds).
Sometimes it is hard to notice them not just because they're rather smallish, but because the intricate patterns of their feathers blend with the earthy tones of the surroundings, camouflaging well.

Portrait of an American Bald Eagle - handmade watercolor painting

Have a great day!

American Bald Eagle portrait is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. It shows the head and upper body of a bald eagle sitting and looking to the right. While the background and the plumage of the bird of prey are depicted in an abstract way with loose expressive brushstrokes, the head is painted in a more detailed and realistic way. The white feathers of the head and the strong yellow-orange beak stand out clearly against the background in various shades of blue from turquoise to indigo and the dark brown feathers of the body and are emphasised by this colour contrast and light-dark contrast.

"Enough Is Enough" ... We've been blessed with multiple Eastern Bluebird broods each summer for the past several years, and as such, we enjoy seeing the little families revisit our feeders all year. Their favorites are dried mealworms and shelled black oil sunflower seeds. But one thing they definitely don't seem to like are cold, snowy days.

Their favorites are dried mealworms and shelled black oil sunflower seeds. But one thing they definitely don't seem to like are cold, snowy days. The expression on Papa's beautiful face is proof of that!!

Image captured January 6, 2025 with the Nikon D7000 and the Sigma 150-500mm lens. I digitally hand painted the photo in Corel Painter 2023 with the Wacom tablet and art pen. Not created using Artificial Intelligence / AI.

This tiny Golden-crowned Kinglet was zipping by me in a park the other day, acrobatic songbird with a remarkable ability to survive in cold climates. Just a bit larger than a hummingbird.

And now for a truly #SuperbOwl. I believe that this is a Pharaoh eagle-owl. It's from a privately-run zoo, le Zoo des Reptiles chez Aziz, in El Atteuf, Algeria.

A superb Owl on this snowy Sunday. I have not managed to get out to look for one of these beauties this year yet, work always got in the way. I know they are out there, and I hope they thrive and do not get pestered by people who are getting too close or try to coax them to take off. #superbowl #birds #Ostdrossel

📷 Stepped into the back yard to check the sky, and spotted one of the neighborhood cats. A young calico. They didn't bolt and sat there as I talked to them from 40 feet away.

My first thought: "Are they hungry?"

Went inside grabbed a paper plate, put some of Gus's kibble on it and went back out.

Cat was gone, but I set the plate on a spot in the yard where they might feel safe eating.

I watched the plate from inside, through the sliding glass door. Within a minute, two birds flew in, grabbed a nugget and flew off.

Set my camera to zoom, focused on the plate and waited.

This Cardinal is one of a pair who are nesting in the big round-top shrub above the blue chair. They flew down, and observed the food from a distance, then inched closer and closer, looking around.

They took one nugget and flew back into the shrub, then returned for another, and another. ❤️

A flock of Canada Geese gracefully on approach for landing on the snowy shores of Lake Ballinger in Edmonds, Washington, surrounded by a magical winter landscape of frosted trees and calm waters. The scene captures a serene moment as the birds glide towards the snow-covered ground against a backdrop of tall, snow-dusted evergreens.
