A photo of two duck butts bobbing above water's surface in unison side-by-side as the ducks (northern shovelers) dabble in search of food. The lighting is very warm-hued in the late afternoon, giving the water an golden-orange color, and the duck on the left is in shadow while the duck on the right is brightly lit by the sun's rays.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdButt and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

They took down Australia; now they’re here on the Cape
There was, maybe still is, an Emu running around Cape Cod in the Mashpee/Sandwich/Marstons Mills area. I just happened to be in the area. #Emu #NaturePhotography #photography #WidlifePhotography #MarstonsMills #CapeCod #BlueskyArtShow #PhotographersUnited #BlueSkyPhotographers #Birds #Bird

A large bull elk with a 7x7 point rack of antlers taking his graze in the alpine meadows of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado on a cloudy day
My recent visits to the high country have found few elk, and often cloudy lighting conditions for any photography, but when I came across this alpine royalty I couldn't help but capture a few images as he took his kingly graze.

This photo shows a small bird perched on thin brown branches amid a dense tangle of green leaves and stems. The bird is facing slightly to the left with its body upright. Its chest is bright yellow with bold black streaks running vertically. The bird’s face is gray with a striking white area just above the eye, giving it a vivid, alert expression. Its wings are patterned in shades of black and gray, and the tail is slightly fanned out and dark. The background is softly blurred, highlighting the bird as the main subject in this leafy, natural setting.
A Magnolia Warbler finally came out into the open for a photo.

A high-resolution color photograph of a red-shouldered hawk perched near the top of a bare, weathered tree in the early morning light of Everglades National Park. The hawk faces left in profile, its sharp beak slightly open, possibly mid-call. Its feathers are richly patterned in bands of rufous, white, and dark brown, with distinctive reddish coloration on the shoulders and chest. The bird’s talons grip the dry, silver-gray branch, which juts at a dramatic upward angle, stripped of leaves and bark by years of sun and wind. The background is a soft, clear gradient of blue sky, tinged with gold near the horizon from the rising sun. The hawk is alert, head slightly tilted, scanning the surrounding wetlands for movement. The overall composition feels quiet and intense, capturing the solitary authority of a top predator in its native ecosystem. This image highlights the hawk’s role as both sentinel and hunter in the vast, wild expanse of the Everglades.
The Red Shouldered Hawk. He’s not fast for the thrill. He’s fast because out here... hesitation dies first.
When the swamp hiccups, he moves. And something squeals.
This is how the Everglades keeps its books balanced.
