A ruby-throated hummingbird looking for nectar for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. #Birds #Photography #Hummingbirds #Nature #RedWed #ColorADay
A ruby-throated hummingbird joins all those cats and dogs for #TongueOutTuesday. One of four hummingbirds at the botanical garden this morning. #Birds #Hummingbirds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife
The Virginia rail, a small wading bird, being its secretive self in the cattails. Michigan USA. #BirdOfTheDay #FabulousWaders #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #Photography #WildlifePhotography #BirdsSeenIn2026
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts, some of your earliest bird captures and the Alt is #Robins. Not my first bird photos (that would have been film), but the oldest digital I can find from 2011 ... four cameras ago. IDs in Alt text. #Birds #Photography
Apropos for a quiet Sunday afternoon/evening: A mute swan at rest. #Swans #Birds #Photography #Wildlife #OrangeSun #ColorADay
Because who doesn't love a molting red-winged blackbird? #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfJuly #Birds #Wildlife #Photography #Nature #StunDay
This green heron was on the look out. #Birds #Herons #GreenSat #ColorADay #Photography #Nature #Wildlife
A red-bellied woodpecker looks skyward for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #OverTheRainbow. #Birds #Woodpeckers #Photography #Nature #Wildlife
No visit to the botanical garden is complete without a visit with the ruby-throated hummingbirds. #SmallBirdSaurday #GreenSat #ColorADay #Birds #Hummingbirds #Nature #Wildlife #BIF
A #GreatEgret looking rather dramatic on its perch above the lily pads. Posting just under the wire (in the US!) for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #EgretsAndHerons. #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #WadingBirds
The overhead view yesterday. Curved to lock on prey, red-tailed hawk talons have a grip strength of up to 200 pounds of pressure per square inch. #Birds #BirdsOfPrey #Photography #Wildlife
A few seconds of summer zen with a monarch butterfly. #Butterfly #Butterflies #FlyDay #Nature
The look one gets after shooting a 10-second cellphone video. Red-tailed hawk. #Birds #BirdsOfPrey #Nature #Wildlife #Photography
On the trail this morning: A young red-tailed hawk sits quietly overhead. #Birds #BirdsOfPrey #Wildlife #Nature
It's difficult to select just one image from a recent photoshoot with common yellowthroats, but I particularly like this image for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #YourChoice. #Birds #Warblers #Photography #Nature #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography
There's a spot on the trail where you don't dare pause. As I grabbed this shot, this red-bellied #woodecker swooped down, squawking, within an inch of my head. It was protecting its young on a nearby tree. I moved on. #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #WoodpeckerWednesday #RedWed #ColorADay
Who says female birds are drab? Northern cardinal. #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #RedWed #ColorADay #Red #Cardinal #BirdPhotography
I was recently joined on the trail by a kaleidoscope of colors... a gang of wild turkeys. And they are a gang. Because some people disobey and feed them, they can be a little aggressive. #BirdOfTheDay #MultiColour #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife
An Eastern bluebird on this #BlueTue. #Birds #Bluebirds #Blue #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography
"Just a sparrow" said no real birder ever. A song sparrow poses against an #EmeraldBackdrop for today's #BirdOfTheDay. #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #Birder #Green #Sparrows
The elusive (to me) sedge wren. Two trips to the preserve and two+ hours standing in one spot listening to the call for this lifer (2026 bird #308). Michigan USA. #Birds #Lifer #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #Birding #Wrens
So many birds with #Gray plumage to chose from for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay! Here: a common grackle, an Eastern kingbird, an Eastern bluebird, and a gray catbird. #Photography #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #Bluebirds #Birder
Heat, humidity and smoke ... means more time indoors at the art table. #PinkMon #ColorADay #Bees #Insects #Bloomscrolling #NatureArt
I turned a curve on a path yesterday only to meet this rose-breasted grosbeak enjoying a meal. USA. #Birds #Photography #BirdsSeenIn2026 #NaturePhotography #WildlifePhotography #Grosbeak
Continuing my critter round up, an Eastern chipmunk. #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #Nature #Photography #Animals
The Eastern cottontail version of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Something sweet for Sunday morning. Be kind. #Photography #Wildlife #Nature #Rabbits #Animals #WildlifePhotography
A great egret post fishing expedition. #BirdoftheDay #Egrets #CHE #Birds #Nature #Photography #Wildlife
One duck, two ducks, three ducks, four. Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OneTwoThreeFour. Here, mallards. Challenging? Yes. Even more challenging - trying to crop to similar ratios! #Birds #Birding #Wildlife #Photography #Nature #Ducks #Ducklings
