There are some birds you photograph once and forget. And then there are Snowy Egrets. Elegant one moment. Completely ridiculous the next. This particular Snowy spent the evening strutting through the shallows, looking equal parts royalty and chaos. King Snowy. 👑🪶

The neighborhood mockingbirds absolutely lost their minds over this Harris’s Hawk on my block wall this morning. I managed to catch the whole dive-bombing sequence through my screen door before the hawk finally bailed. Full video is up on my YT channel if you're interested in seeing it. 💙🦋🪶

The hawk’s chestnut wings and white tail feathers glow softly in the backlight, giving the scene a dramatic, almost theatrical feel.A Harris’s Hawk lands awkwardly on a tan block wall with one wing raised and one foot lifted mid-step while sunlight filters through green leaves behind it.

Another fallout from the Heritage Foundation. Page 579. They hate wildlife and horses. They stand in the way of them raping our land for money. pure greed. #banhorseslaughter

U.S. equine exports for slaughter have increased for the first time in over 10 years. #Wildhorses and #burros, animals placed under federal protection by Congress more than fifty years ago with huge public support, are contributing to that count. bit.ly/4dVKTEi
