Not sure where this guy was going but he seemed like he was in a hurry to get there.🪶
I heard it's International Owl Day. This was one of my favorite owls I had a chance to photograph this year. These are my last couple pics from this nest.🪶🦉
I heard it's International Owl Day. Here are a few oldies but goodies. 🪶🦉
Anhinga and its prize-I'm not sure why this bird liked this feather so much but it was holding it for awhile, turning its head side to side to show it off. (4 pics)🪶
Baby Black-necked Stilts learning their way around the wetlands. These two were just wandering around while their parents tried to corral them and keep them safe.🪶
Swallowtailed Kite Swooping by-Love watching these birds fly, so beautiful and acrobatic. Here are a few of my favorite flight shots from Saturday AM. (4 Pics) 🪶
2 of my Lifers from our trip to Iceland. Baby Common Redshank and its parent followed by baby Eurasian Oystercatcher and its parent . I wonder why the parent is yelling in both pics? 🤷😂 🪶
Brown Basilisk Lizard adult and juvenile in 2nd pic. This was another shot I got when traveling to see the kites. My first time seeing these lizards. They are known as the Jesus Christ Lizard for their ability to "run across the water". 🦎
Swallowtailed Kites at Sunrise (4 pics)-A little good and bad today. Good:Got my best pics of Swallowtailed kites and saw the most I have seen. Hung out with a photo friend for only the 2nd time. Bad:Didn't get my goal shot. Drove a ridiculous distance. Chased a shot and missed the one I wanted.🪶

Atlantic Puffin with Sand Eels-a few more shots of a Puffin bringing some dinner back to the burrow. 🪶
Juvenile Barred Owl on a flight path directly over my head. Loved the wing position on this shot. 🪶
Anhinga with fish-Guess its mom didn't tell it not to play with its food. 6 pic series 🪶
Peekaboo Baby Burrowing Owl - 2 pics and a video of this young one peeking its head out to see if it's safe to venture out of its cozy little burrow.🪶
Somewhere over the rainbow... After I took a few wide shots of this waterfall at Niagara Falls I popped on my telephoto lens to capture this Herring Gull flying past with the rainbow background. 🪶
A ring around the sun is called a sun halo, solar halo, or 22-degree halo. It happens when sunlight bends through tiny ice pieces in high clouds.
Eastern Gray Squirrel-Not looking too gray to me. When I saw this guy near Niagara Falls this weekend I didn't realize it was just a color variation of the same species I see in Florida. #mammal
A few random Spoonbill shots, 3 in flight and one silhouette. 🪶
Who are you looking at? This Juvenile Barred Owl put on a show flying between 4 separate perches. On this perch he was out in the open and I was able to get some nice clean shots. First shot is a tight crop from the 2nd. 🪶
