Another day with almost now bird sightings; however, there were some belted kingfishers around today #birds #beltedkingfishers #kingfisher #bayside #nature #wildlife

Since I didn’t see many birds this afternoon (just some buffleheads and a belted kingfisher) here’s a black-necked stilt from the summer #birds #nature #black_necked_stilt #stilts #shorebirds #reflection #summer

Went out hoping to find one of the eagles that hang out on the bay but only came across some buffleheads and one belted kingfisher #birds #beltedkingfisher #kingfisher #buffleheads #nature #wildlife

From the summer - a tri-colored heron with its catch

On one of the rare days that I managed to get a clear image of the tri-colored heron #birds #heron #tri_colored_heron #nature #wildlife

Thank you, I was pretty amazed when this beauty started hunting right in front of me

Thank you, I am very lucky to live in an area with easy access to areas where these beauties hang out

It's funny, I see it as more inquisitive although I can see your point as well

Thank you

It's a deeper and darker shade somewhere between blue and deep gray

Up until this day, I had only come across this bird from a distance and when it was backlit - so, yes, a very pleasant surprise

Thanks, I forgot to turn the radio off in the car when stumbling across this scene while driving along the bay

For the longest time, I failed on achieving even slightly passable images of tri-colored herons, and then this happened - testing app’s video feature #birds #tri-coloredheron #fish #saltgrass #bay #heron #nature

Great photo - funny caption

Stunningly captured

Great grey owl flying across a darkened road while it's still lit by the fading sun.

Sometimes everything just works as a great grey owl flies across a dark road while it's still lit by the fading sun.

It’s always a gift when wild creatures pause and seemingly pose for your photos - shot at 840mm (150-600mm with 1.4x extender) #nature #fox #redfox #wild #wildlife

Came across this hummingbird and trumpet flowers along a sandy road at the edges of a lake in early summer. Decided to convert the photo to a more painterly watercolor to print out as artwork. #birds #hummingbirds #flowers #trumpetflower #trumpetvine #nature #flight #summer #artwork. #painterly

Constitution? I don’t need no stinking’ Constitution…

Nice crisp cature - I love it when nature "gifts" us with special moments like this

This beautiful red-tailed hawk was watching for prey from the safety of the pine's branches #birds #nature #redtailedhawk #hawk #eyes #pine #pinelands #pinebarrens

Great reflections

Beautiful capture

Beautiful and I love how the jay's chest feathers compliment the colors and textures of the fence as well

This is epic - I'm assuming you grew these inside and didn't bravely leave your kit outside for 5 days?
