Late today! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme is #LongNecks any bird with a long neck. #birds #photography #ECK

A #bittern last week 🙌

Fantastic shot of an elusive bird (at least where I live!). 🙌🏻

🪶Yellow-rumped Warbler — a couple more takes on that gorgeous bird I posted a few days ago. So cute!!!

🪶Great Blue Heron - yet another pose by these versatile birds, the squat! A little fly away shot as a bonus.

🪶Yellow-rumped Warbler - one of my absolute favorite late winter/early spring birds! Hardly sit still long enough to press the shutter, so I got lucky here, only 10ft away!

🪶 Great Blue Heron - last in the series this week. So many different looks. Here we have stately and well manicured. A gorgeous bird.

🪶Great Blue Heron - the definition of stealth. Almost didn’t see this bird hunting in the grasses growing up out of the water.

🪶Great Blue Heron — first of three I’ll post this week. No this wasn’t the pose for just a few seconds. This bird stood like that for the 5 minutes I watched it. Clearly an expert in Bird-fu!!

🪶Black Phoebe - I’m not sure what it about these cool birds but I never see them on natural perches! And this is the same bird!! One day, one day!!

🪶Varied Thrush - in our area these beautiful birds are altitude migrators. Preferring the higher altitudes, when it’s gets very cold they migrate to lower elevations until temps climb. It’s been cold! 🥶

Absolutely gorgeous! 🙌🏻

🪶Scrub Jay and Northern Flicker living together, mass hysteria!

Happy New Year folks! I’m hoping for far more love, kindness & common decency in the new year!

Thanks to everyone who liked or reposted my photos ❤️

🪶Great Blue Heron — how to make your usually tall and lanky profile into the perfect puff ball!

🪶 Canvasback - a quick foot check while hanging with the Northern Shoveler crowd. Cool bird and only the second time I’ve seen it, both times this year.

Thank you!

🪶Northern Pintail - soooo many Pintails. These birds are gorgeous and I love seeing them in numbers this time of year! There were many hundred out this day.

🪶Northern Harrier - a very unique raptor that patrols the wetlands I frequent. Silent, graceful hunters.

Not great photos but did see this one hunting and catching tiny fish.

🪶Pied-billed Grebe - I’m seriously not sure there is a cuter bird in all of the bird kingdom. And these guys are fierce tiny fish hunters. Cuddles anyone?

🪶Mallard — takes work to look this good! Such a common bird year round in Oregon, but nonetheless striking.

Serene

Great shot 🙌🏻

🐿️ Douglas’ Squirrel - eating a mushroom. Dare you to find anything cuter!

🪶Ruby-crowned Kinglet - cute little puff hung out a long time and let me take photos. So grateful for that! #birding #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #birds

Wow I want to go to there. That is so beautiful and you captured the light exquisitely!

Paddle-tailed Darner - we believe this to be the species, waiting for confirmation. If so it will be our first sighting which is exciting. Lucky to have it hover in place, they never perch!

Mule Deer — momma and baby. So cute!

Well-written piece that I tend to agree with wholeheartedly. Thanks for writing it up.

Stunning. Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏻
