Gretel, the crow, with a beak full of peanuts taking off for the pot luck she's late for.
Hansel, the crow, coming in for a landing from a tree above the feeding zone.
Hansel, the crow, proud of the left over suet he found on the ground.
Hansel and Gretel on the ground. Hansel is up close side eyeing the camera. Gretel stands back by a remnant pile of dirty snow. In the background, a squirrel hinny can be seen sticking out of the decorative stones around the feeder.
Seems like a good day to share #crows and other #corvids.

In Maryland, we get Cedar Waxwings, but aren't supposed to be around right now. So, when I saw one the other night high in a pine tree, I doubted it could be. Yet, here it is. Even Merlin (app) doubted me. You'll need to zoom in. The alt is boring. Sorry. #nikon #eck #birds #maryland #wildlife 📷🪶
Femail Eastern Bluebird flying away from a feeder station. Below is a Carolina Wren appearing to fall of a feeder limb but it's merely taking off, as well.
Eastern Bluebird and Carolina Wren where the bluebird is perched on the edge of a meal worm cup and the wren is mid flight with feathers... feathered out.
Purple finch mid flight with wings expanded to show all the layers.
Nuthatch mid flight away from a feeder with wings in the downward position of the flap. There's a red-bellied woodpecker hiding down below showing it's head and upper body.
Thanks @robcrank68.bsky.social for the theme today. Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SmallBirdsInFlight, any bird Duck Size or smaller in flight. The Alt Theme is #Finches, any Finch will do. #nikon #eck #maryland #wildlife 🪶📷

I’m in Tennessee right now with lots of other beautiful mountain native plants, but back at home my Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) are blooming!

A white and tan Cockapoo dog stands in the sand of a beach on the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay. Her tongue is out as she looks slightly past the camera. The wind slightly tussles her fair near her ear. A wave breaks in the background

Conditions: breezy with plentiful sunshine
Strong start to her weekend.

Photo of a black circular sticker with white lettering that reads "Bite Me Maryland" with the letters B and M divided by an outline of a crab with the Maryland state color pattern of red, yellow, black and white. Could the BM stand for B'more? 😂
😂😂😂 saw this in a Hallmark store and had to share! Could the B-M stand for B'more? 🫣#Baltimore #Maryland #Crabs

A large bird of prey (a falcon, I think), flies over the Chesapeake Bay. It was at a distance and was taken with a 18-150mm lens. Photo was adjusted - it was taken in low light. Adjustments were made to bring out the colors.
Did not have the best lens for this and it was too far away, but (I think) I caught a falcon over the Bay today

4 photos. Image 1 is of a carolina chickadee perched on a branch. Image 2- the chickadee in image 1 picking a caterpillar off of a branch to eat. Image 3- a small sparrow on the sandy ground covered in pine needles. Image 4- a great egret searching for food behind tall dead marshland grass.
Finished 2 hikes totaling 7.8 miles! 6.3 of that was on sand. I am tired. I am sore. And I would 100% doing it again. There was so much wildlife on the #assateagueisland national seashore. #Maryland #birds #photography #hiking #tired

Marylanders: Are your SNAP benefits lower than expected? The state’s automated system is glitching on shelter costs (Renters vs Homeowners insurance). I used Gemini AI to proofread my case and caught the mistake. Verify your math before you lose out! 🦀🍎 #SNAP #HHS #Maryland
