Two mature Bald Eagles with white head and tail and brown body and wings are perching on an evergreen tree, with a clear blue sky behind them. One eagle is at the top of the tree and the other is on a branch a few feet below.
On this #TalonTuesday we have a nesting pair of Bald Eagles taking a break from making babies on a beautiful winter day. Their nest is in the same tree, just below them.

Barred owl looked like it was going to do something interesting , but no just showing off the Talons with a bloody beak .
A mostly brown immature bald eagle with splotches of white feathers on its head and tail is flying from right to left against a clear blue sky with the tops of green trees at the bottom of the frame. The eagle is lit by the warm-toned orange light of the rising sun.

Marlon the Merlin (of the "Taiga" variety ...go down THAT rabbit-hole, I dare you), on the Pole of Fortune 2.0, in bright-ass morning sunlight...so you can see his "slaty" gray back, heavily streaked chest and underwings, pale mustache stripe and a thin white eyebrow in profile as he surveys the views.

A raptor with a dark back & wing, white breast feathers and a dark band extending from the eye to the back, is perched the arm of a light standard. It is a very gloomy overcast day, so it is hard to make out the lighter spots on the wing, which mark it as a juvenile Osprey.
#Birds #Raptor #TalonTuesday A juvenile Osprey perched on top of a light standard at a local baseball field. It wasn't far from the nest, a huge mound of sticks on another standard. A pair of Osprey have been successfully raising young there, the last 5 years that I have been observing them.
The head and upper body of an osprey are in the photo. The wings and pattern on the head are dark brown. The rest of the bird is white. It has a bright yellow eye. The long curved claws on one leg are visible and the bird is clearly tearing into something to eat.

...and tbh 'Puff' is the only thing that came to mind. 🌿🤘😶🌫️

A mature Bald Eagle with white head and tail and brown body and wings is landing on a bare, grey branch amongst a snarl of dead, weathered trees. It's wings are still spread upward as it settles into place.

An Osprey with dark brown wings and back and white and brown front and head, perched on an electrical connection to a light brown wooden power pole set against a bright blue sky. There are silver components and black wires attached to the pole, and yellow stickers that label the pole as high voltage. Seen at Lake Sonoma in Geyserville, California.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PowerPose -- a bird showing strength through its stance. Thought I'd plug this shot of an amped up #Osprey recharging on a power pole 😜💙(Geyserville, California - 4/13/21)

Any shot of a bird of prey is a power pose; they exude power. Here’s a Buzzard hunting for prey

A male American Kestrel perched on a wire attached to a utility pole with a blue sky background. He is facing the left at an angle so his breast is almost fully visible. His eye looks keen and bright.
On a recent sunny day this fellow briefly perched near a walking path and kindly allowed me to take a few photos before he flew off. #TalonTuesday #raptors #birds

It's #TalonTuesday! Greetings from this immature Bald Eagle who was enjoying the sunrise on a beautiful summer morning.

Two Red-tailed Hawks riding out the rain together on top of a power pole...
...so we walked around the field to face them from the other side, but only one hawk remained for a frame or two.
My wife is one of these people that likes to hike in the rain...
...so I got soggy hawks for #TalonTuesday! 🤘😶🌫️
💞 Finally got the mated pair of Red-tails in frame together, but in bad light. Hiked around the cholla patch for a better angle but only one remained...🦅🌧️

A small brown raptor with a streaky reddish brown chest and white underparts sits near the top of a thick snow dusted diagonal stick facing the camera with its head turned a bit to the right against a blurred dark gray and white background. Its yellow eye and brown coloring indicates that it is a young bird since adults have gray backs and red eyes.
The same bird has now flipped around on the stick showing its back to the camera with its head still to the right. Its brown back has large white spots that get progressively bigger as they reach its long brown and black striped tail feathers.
This #TalonTuesday, we have a sweet little Sharp-shinned Hawk who landed on top of our wood snag and sent all the little Sparrows and Juncos skittering to the bottom for refuge.

A large brown bird of prey (immature bald eagle) is flying away from the camera toward the green leafy trees on the left, with a light brown fish in its talons.

Joining me this afternoon, up on the wire, my regular Kestrel 'Puff' shares a warm look over his left shoulder against clear blue sky.
420 #birding! That's right. 🫠🌿
And it's never too late for a little #TalonTuesday...
...when you have a regular Kestrel! IYKYK 🤘😶🌫️

A bird with deep brown wings and back, is holding onto a single bare, almost vertical branch, with it's curved, black talons. The sky is a bright blue, the sunlight comes from the right. The bird has a white head with a brown horizontal eye band, and hooked grey beak.
#Birds #Raptor #Osprey #TalonTuesday Late August, an Osprey holding onto an uncomfortable looking perch with it's impressive talons.
A grey bird of prey is standing on the ground in a grassy field, looking over its shoulder to the right. Unseen in its talons is an unfortunate small rodent.
I missed the excitement of this Northern Harrier pouncing onto its prey (I was driving) but here it is afterward! #TalonTuesday

Let's just call it the Pole of Fortune 2.0, since it DOES draw the local raptors, especially Puff the Regular Kestrel, kind enough here to stun me with another lovely glare from his wind-blown perch. Polka-dots!
🤘😶🌫️ A day late for #TalonTuesday, but today's #birding involved a reluctant Phainopepla (what's new, and not pictured...yet) and this pop-in from my regular Kestrel.👇
