After photographing these great horned owlets, I was about to leave when the parent flew in with breakfast. #Busted as I spent another 20 minutes watching them devour this quail. #BirdOfTheDay

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #FabulousWaders I share this American Avocet series. I just love their regal poise and delicate looking beaks.
When I #Firsts bought my camera last spring, I practiced the #Mosts on this great horned owl family. As I would walk the trail out to the owls' nest, this northern harrier would dive-bomb me in defense of its nesting area. What a privilege to watch and capture. #BirdOfTheDay
#BirdOfTheDay #BestOfJuly. Camped along the Soo River north of Whistler BC. These cedar waxwings were so fast, difficult to capture. If you zoom in, you'll see its beak open and the insect it's about to catch!
Who knows what this burrowing owlet was searching for #OverTheRainbow for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme.
For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #YourChoice here's a shot from the hotel grounds in Aguas Calientes Peru. Several birds flitting around here including the blue-grey tanenger, blue dancis and blue-naped chlorophonia. I wish I would've had more than just my phone with me.
For today's #BirdOfTheDay themes, here is a #MultiColour western tanenger and a #DucksOutOfWater cinnamon teal couple.
