I'm not crying, you're crying. 🥹
I love this!

Wait... you're not a hummingbird! A Gila Woodpecker performs *ahem* "maintenace" on my hummingbird feeder.

Nothing feels quite as judgmental as a Great Horned Owl staring down at you.

We need a mass exodus the morning after his last show. I don't have paramount, but I am tempted to sign up just so I can cancel it - and they won't get more than a month subscription out of me.
As soon as I watch Colbert's final episode, my subscription to Paramount will be canceled.
Little glitchy for me, too, but this came up in my feed just fine! Beautiful shot!
For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LeafandLight - one of my favorites from a few years back, a photo of a pair of mourning doves in the evening.
I have been considering making this a painting for years, this may be that year.
Anyone who cannot tell should apologize to their physician.
Thanks!

I use this for a painting, though a comedy of errors left the piece partially destroyed just before completion (recovery efforts are underway). Painting pic included.

For #BirdOfTheDay #BlackHeads - the Southwest's "best dressed" raptor, the magnificent Crested Caracara! 😁
Thank you! 🙂
A bald eagle soring in the sky.
Not a good shot, but the 1st & only time I've seen a Bald Eagle! It was distant and almost long gone when I noticed it. I'm heading back up there (Salt River - Arizona) this weekend, so fingers crossed!

Male Anna's Hummingbird flying among rain drops.
In the Sonoran desert we don't get many chances for wildlife weather shots, so I was thrilled to get this pic last fall on a rare rainy day! Male Anna's Hummingbird, Tucson AZ.

Not a good pic at all, but as I was getting some shots of 2 ravens out front I was photobombed by a mighty Hummingbird.
Hard to tell, but best guess based on the regulars at my feeder is Anna's or Broad-billed.
