red shouldered hawk in flight

Really been struggling the past year. It's been hard to do the basics sometimes, but this red shouldered hawk came to visit a few days ago and I was happy to snap a few shots of him. 🪶

It's clearly Jake Gyllenhaal who I'm sure will have 100s of people giving him alibis.

In retrospect making enemies with a *lot* of terminally ill people seems like a mistake.

The least of his sins, surely.

We'd have been better off with you.

Thank you for the links. I'm wary of block lists after the first go-round on Twitter in 2016-18. I'm absolutely surprised at some of the accounts listed...

male song sparrow with leg(s) tangled in a large feather

This little bird was flying, but struggling, yesterday with this large feather wrapped around at least one leg. I couldn't approach it and haven't seen it today so I can't speak to its fate. #birds 🪶

Turkey vulture perched on a shed

I sent my long lens out for repair yesterday, so of course this beautiful turkey vulture lands on my shed today. #birds #naturephotography 📸📷🪶

I have no idea what this little flower is, but it's blooming in my vegetable garden so it's probably a weed. #macrophotography #naturephotography 📷📸🌱

Looks like he's cracked open a cold one and watching a game. Just in time for Superb Owl Sunday.

Close up photo of a crocus in bloom

The crocus in my front yard is up. Historically this happens 3 weeks before spring starts.

For better or for worse, this is the earliest I've seen it by 12 days. Located in central Indiana.
