Osprey with wings flared out in back, and talons extended, getting ready to land in nest.. white belly, black and white stripes flared tail feathers. feathers flared like fingers.
My husband took a number of great Osprey pictures near the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge in Sherwood, OR yesterday. He gave me permission to share his favorite. #Birds #nature #raptors #oregon #Osprey #TRNWR. My favorite in comments.
A great egret in flight just above shallow water. Its wings are spread and its legs are extended. Its body is slightly tilted toward the camera.
Great egret taking flight or landing, I forgot which. #birds #herons #TRNWR
Gadwall coming in for a landing on the pond, the reflection broken up by a loose feather.
Unseasonably warm weather had the birds up early and much more active than we generally expect to see. The gadwalls were unsettled, flying in and out of the pond area.

A large gray bird with long legs and a long beak.
I finally have a good heron pic to add! I see so many awesome ones and am always jealous. This cute dinosaur was beside the road when I turned into the area I was going birding yesterday. #birds #texasmasternaturalist #texas #trnwr
It took months to teach them how to swim in formation 🤣
