Raine

A red squirrel idly standing on its hind legs on a branch, outlooking to the left slightly towards the viewer. Its paws are tucked in while the tail is pressed against its back. The background is blurry with a dozen branches, and a hint of snow sits behind the squirrel.

The squirrel is preening its thigh, its small snout pressed against its fur.

The squirrel is preening the side of its head with its hind foot, tilting its head back while it keeps leverage on the branch with its front paws.

The squirrel about to jump off the branch, peering down past the frame.

Red squirrels! I happen to photograph them almost every time when going out birding, I just rarely post them haha

A great cormorant drying its wings on top of a yellow and red "Yksityinen / Private" sign mounted on a wooden dock jutting into a grey lake. Its wings are spread wide. A great cormorant preens quietly at the far right edge of the dock. In the soft, misty background, autumn trees and a red building are visible on the far shore. The mood is overcast and atmospheric.

"Private"

I've always found mallards #photogenic whenever I'm photographing them, so I'll put these shots out for today's #BirdOfTheDay. Some of these shots also seem to fit the alt theme #LightAndShade quite nicely

Pigeons often fly around in flocks near a lake I often visit. This shot fits perfectly for today's #BirdOfTheDay, as there's #FourOrMore feral pigeons in it!

Pigeons definitely fit #WideOpenWings for #BirdOfTheDay ^^

I'm back after a week, had some issues with my camera and I'm using a new one now :-)

For today's #BirdOfTheDay of #PowerPose, I had to choose this intimate photo of a barnacle goose I once captured 👀

it's so funny how they're in identical poses

🙌

Thank you :D

Thank you so much!! I'm flattered 😁

I'm finally early for #BirdOfTheDay, haha. Today's theme is #Portrait.

I LOVE hooded crows. They're so fun to watch, and especially to photograph. So naturally, I have these close-up portraits of them :)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay involves a bird #DivingForFood, so I wanted to include this osprey that I caught one time!

A great blue heron portrait. This was most likely my first attempt at drawing realism in birds 👀

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, we got a house sparrow for the alt theme, #EverydayBirds :D

I was photographing a grebe from the bushes until he flew in there with me..

"so, what are we photographing?"

Thanks!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #WaterBirds. Accordingly, here's a young great crested grebe. This one was difficult to choose, I absolutely love photographing waterfowl :)

the day I wanted to become a gull

That is definitely an odd couple

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #OddCouples, and I immediately thought of this one time I captured a common sandpiper and a white wagtail together. It looked like they were staring at each other
