Photo of a snowy owl perched on some twigs against a cloudy sky.
The same owl on the same twigs. It has much less black barring than the other owl that has been in the area.
The same owl on the same twigs, with its head turned almost 180º to look backwards.
The same owl on the same twigs, looking out into the distance.
The second snowy owl perched in a tree for a long time, with a crowd of onlookers taking pictures from the road nearby. #birds #birdwatching #owl #SnowyOwl #WesternMA #WesternMassachusetts #wildlife
Photo of a snowy owl in a snowy corn field amid rows of dried, harvested corn stalks. The owl is looking off past the camera into the distance. It is largely white, but has a lot of black barring. Its eyes are yellow.
The same owl in the field looking backwards. Its face is in profile, and its sharp, black beak is barely visible below the fluffy feathers that cover its face.
The same bird in the field, staring directly at the camera.
The same bird, having hopped to a different row in the cornfield. Its feathers are slightly puffed out. The snowy rows of the field stretch into the distance beyond it.
Snowy owl in Northampton, Massachusetts. There are two individuals that have been hanging out in the fields near the municipal airport for a couple weeks, and I saw both of them today. #birds #birdwatching #owl #SnowyOwl #WesternMA #WesternMassachusetts #wildlife
Aptly named, it was 3 degrees here in the #PioneerValley in #westernMassachusetts
3 turkeys in the middle of the road looking for food. There is grass on one side and brush on the other.
Several turkeys checking some bushes around an old tree. The ground is grass. There is the edge of a road on the left.
Our visitors earlier today were not very careful about crossing the street. Fortunately no one got hurt. #turkeys #November #WesternMassachusetts #photography

Photograph of a white-tailed deer fawn in the forest. The fawn is looking directly at the camera. There are some ferns in the foreground, and the background is blurry, bright green leaves.
Photograph of the same fawn in the same location, looking off to the right. Its tail is wagging in the air.

Photograph of a great blue heron and a red-winged blackbird in a marsh. The heron is in the background, standing in the water, looking off to the right. The blackbird is in the foreground, also looking to the right. He is perched on a reed with his tail feathers splayed out. He looks like he is pole jumping or getting ready to go into battle or something.

Photograph of a small willow flycatcher on a twig. The bird is gray and white with a yellow-orange beak. It is mid-song and has its head thrown back enthusiastically. In the background are green leaves which are out of focus.

Photo of a great blue heron hunting in a marsh. The heron is wading near the edge of the water.
The heron is plunging its head into the water. Water is splashing up and over its back.
The heron has caught a small fish, which is visible in its beak. The water in the marsh is still rippling and bubbling from when the heron dunked its head under the surface.
The heron is holding the fish and starting to walk.

Photograph of a barn swallow perched on a wooden fence. It is very round. Its back is dark blue, its chin is orange-brown, and its underside is white. It has a small, pointy black beak. Its feathers are covered with raindrops. The leaves behind the bird are completely out of focus, so the background is a wash of green.
Photo of a different barn swallow on the same fence. It looks similar to the other one, but its underside is honey-colored instead of white. It is staring directly at the camera looking very grumpy.

They were swooping over a field in the rain. They would periodically land on the fence next to the trail and splay out their wings like they were trying to get dry.
