Yes, we (Wife) throw some seed on the ground for the birds that like to feed off the ground

That's cool
We let the wildflowers grow to attract insects
but we have had only a few ... a weird year

Our weather in Sierra Vista was not violent
Steady rain that ended Monday morning

Female Gambel's #quail
gorged herself so much
on the seed, all she could
do was lay there like a lump

I made that up. She was moving around and stuff.

Open aperture trying to overcome low light makes it practically impossible to have both birds in focus

Another cloudy morning photo. Noise reduction overcame it for the most part. The bird is looking back over its shoulder at you.

Have a fantastic #Tuesday!

Bank of orange and pink clouds on the right 2/3 of the frame. If trees are blurry, it's because it's windy.

So we just paid serious coin for Felon47 to travel across the pond, claim he orchestrated peace, signed a bunch of folders and flew home. I am so happy those held in captivating were released. But no peace plan was achieved. The orange stain got the attention. This is who we are.

Good Afternoon Bluesky Fam!
My Bird Of choice for #BirdOfTheDay is The Beautiful Red Kite I managed to Capture the Underside of the #wings Last Year on a Summer Morning
Captured on a Canon EOS R50

The picture shows a bird, likely a raptor such as a Red kite or eagle, soaring against a clear blue sky. The bird has its wings fully extended, displaying a mix of dark brown and lighter feathers, with a distinctive V-shape formed by its wings and tail. The lighting suggests it is either early morning or late afternoon, casting a warm glow on the bird's underside.
