Spotted a Barred Owl in the afternoon shrouded in a tree. Little did I know that I'd be having two more rounds with owls later in the day! I've got a couple hundred more photos to process, but who's complaining? #Birds #Birding #Wildlife #Nature #Photography #Animals #Photos #Photo #ECK #Owls
Boy, great image
The dragonflies and damselflies seem to be the favourite bird snack this year, and the Soras are getting in on it too! This male Sora was foraging around the marsh edge and as soon as he filled his beak with snacks, he usually ran back to his chicks to feed them. But this time, he flew! #Birds 🪶
Laura Nyro made a rare recording of a non-original song when she recorded “Up on the Roof” for her 1970 album Christmas and the Beads of Sweat. Nyro’s version slows down the song’s tempo and also omits the lyrics sung to the first of the original’s three bridge sections. #lauranyro #goffinkingsongs
In positive news, was just reading about an island in Chile that installed open water solar panels and a bunch of tuna and salmon moved in underneath them because the vibrations of diesel energy had ceased. :) The world could be so good if people were just smarter everywhere.
Dahlia s are ripe on Kelleys Island. Come see @ The Inn on Kelleys Island
A recently fledged Red-tailed Hawk watches a paramotor, which is a powered paraglider and is also known as a flying lawn chair, pass overhead. The large fan is quite loud, which is what may have initially caught this bird's attention.
