Common merganser, my first time finding one!

A Great Tit perched on a thin branch surrounded by lush green leaves. The bird’s black head and white cheeks are clearly visible as it leans forward, wings slightly lifted and catching the light filtering through the foliage.

A Great Tit landing on a tree from my trip to the UK this past Spring.

A male mallard duck with a glossy green head, yellow bill, and gray body floats calmly on rippling golden-brown water, framed softly by out-of-focus green and yellow leaves.

Just a lil guy enjoying a nice fall day.

A sleek American crow perched on a weathered wooden post, its glossy black feathers standing out sharply against a blurred backdrop of vibrant orange and red autumn leaves.

A young white-tailed deer stands alert on a grassy path surrounded by tall golden field grass, with weathered red and gray barns in the background. The rustic Nova Scotia landscape creates a peaceful countryside scene in soft evening light.

One of the elusive deer on the island, I still find it hard to believe they swam over from the mainland.

A Semipalmated Sandpiper stands at the edge of shallow blue water, its brown and white feathers catching warm light. A small droplet of water hangs from the tip of its black bill as gentle waves ripple around its legs.

A Song Sparrow perched on a berry-laden branch, surrounded by sparse autumn leaves, with a clear blue sky above on Ironbound Island, Nova Scotia.

Gray Catbird perched on a horizontal branch, surrounded by dense green leaves, looking alert with soft evening light filtering through the foliage.

Just a little Gray Cat bird I spotted during my walk around oak island resort.

A White-breasted Nuthatch clings upside down to the side of a tree trunk, its small body pressed close to the bark with green foliage blurred in the background.

Here are a couple of shots from the backyard. I didn't think I'd see any hummingbirds this season since I didn't put out feeders for them, but this guy was happy enough with what nature could provide.

A belted kingfisher with a blue-gray head and wings and a rusty band across its chest perches on a thin tree branch surrounded by green leaves, with a softly blurred background of foliage.

I can't get over how this belted Kingfisher looks like a bobblehead 😂. I appreciate him making an appearance though!

I took this picture before we were all prohibited from entering the woods due to wildfire risks. It was unbelievable how much the marsh had dried up. I hope we get some rain soon.

A solitary crow perched quietly on tree branches deep in the forest, surrounded by sunlight

Just a little feathered friend.

😮 cool picture!

So shimmery!!

Love this picture, the wavy stick gives it character! 💜

Great picture!

That's an amazing accomplishment, congrats!!

Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate the interest, but I just do photography for fun at the moment and I'm not looking to license or commercialize my work. Wishing you the best with your project!

😭 thank you so much. Truly, I'm still learning and have a long way to go, but your kind words mean a lot to me 💜

Three Semipalmated Plovers descending onto a tidal flat at low tide. Two have just landed with wings still raised for balance, while the third is midair, preparing to touch down. The scene is bathed in warm golden-hour light with calm water in the background.

Semipalmated Plovers coming in for a graceful landing. I really liked how the sun lit up their wings.

Holy moley, that bird is made of rainbow feathers!

Beautiful!!😍

A Great Blue Heron stands in shallow water at dusk, holding a long fish or eel in its beak. The dark water reflects the heron’s shape, and blurred green grasses line the distant shore.

Spotted this beauty on the hunt, not perturbed by my (or my dogs!) presence. We waited, watched, and got lucky!! It was so cool to see in real life.

The next mystery is what exactly do you think was caught? 🤔

Oh how pretty!! Nice shot 📸

Wow, absolutely beautiful! 💜

I used to see them all the time where I went to school, and I just thought they were kinda like crows, that you could see them all the time. I regret taking them for granted

Thank you so much!! 💜
