The only flight photo I managed of today's Pomarine Jaeger (Stercorarius pomarinus). Look how huge the white flashes in the wing are compared to Parasitic (Arctic) or Long-tailed. #BirdingHungary #jaegers #skuas

Bad phonescope video of a great bird. Distant adult light morph Pomarine Jaeger (Stercorarius pomarinus). My first for this country as it is quite rare in Hungary. Hanging out with a Caspian Gull. 😲 The gulls usually clear out when these guys come around. #BirdingHungary #jaegers #skuas

You can't beat a Pomarine Skua (or Jaeger for my American friends), the king of all #skuas in my opinion. A few images of Poms off the Ecuador coast during my cruise, migrating north to breed in the Arctic. #seabirds

A photographic portrait (no AI) of a turkey vulture.  Its head is turned slightly to the viewer's left, and the details of its wrinkled red head, orange-brown eyes, white beak, and dark neck feathers are very sharp and clear.

#Penguins aren't worried about your #tariffs, tRump; they have plenty of bird backup to call on: Australian #emus 🇦🇺 and #CanadaGeese! 🇨🇦

Calling in the #puffins, #seagulls, and various types of #skuas, too. Those skuas can be MEAN! And no proud Texas #TurkeyVulture is putting up with you!

In #Antarctica, not all #birds waddle! The snow #petrel, a ghostly white #seabird, soars over the frozen seas, thriving where few dare. Alongside #skuas, #terns, & #albatrosses, these feathered navigators prove the frozen south is far from silent.
