Bird with dark blue feathers in flight, its wings flapping downward.
Swallows and martins are the hardest birds for me to capture in flight. But it's a fun challenge. And I love this photo.

Rather unwell today so having a day in bed. And with my head down the toilet. The expression on this amazing Bald Eagle’s face pretty much sums it up… 🦅

A female Northern Pintail showing off a little in the late morning sun at Østensjøvannet. I didn’t spot any males, so maybe she’ll get a few peaceful days before the chaos begins.

Exciting day today. The bluebirds have arrived at the nesting box. Spotted this one sitting on the fence by the box. Hoping soon to have eggs.

Bald eagle landing on a rock in a lake, its wings spread wide.
So many eagles landing on this rock. This was the first eagle I saw landing on it. It stayed for a while. Its companion, a juvenile bald eagle, perched on another rock.

Bald eagle with bright white head and dark body perched on a rock in a lake.
I saw five eagles landing and taking off from this single rock. This one stayed for a while, looking so regal.

Posting pictures of birds I have taken to stop my feed here just being depressing politics #birds #birdsofbluesky American Robin, Long Island, June 2014
Bald eagle landing on a rock in a lake next to another eagle.
So I got photos of when the second eagle joined the first one on the rock, too!
I have lots of eagle photos, so be prepared to see them!

A photo of a male northern flicker (Colaptes auratus) perched on the side of a brick chimney wall in the rain. It is a taupe-colored woodpecker with a gray head and a long dark gray beak, dark eyes, bright red cheek patches, black-tipped tail feathers, black barring across its back and wings, and a red spot on the back of its head. Its feathers are wet and windblown, giving it a somewhat bedraggled appearance. Its back is to the camera with its head turned to the right of frame as it clings to the red bricks of the chimney, with dark house siding visible in the background on the right side of the image. Drops of water are visible swirling in the air around it.
One more #BirdOfTheDay entry because #FlickerFriday: That time he wasn't going to let a little #weather keep him from the important business of adding character to our chimney.
