Delilah on a happy walk. She gets so excited when we walk her as a family.

Folks that are anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-black, anti-semitic, anti-muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-women, anti-vaccine and pro gun deaths are not interested in free speech and the exchange of ideas. They are assholes.

Did a bird walk in Boston today and I think this happy squirrel was my favorite photo I took.

Great egret basking in the sun at Wakodahatchee this morning. I love how white its plumage is.

Another day when I took 100s of photos of birds and my best one might be this pigeon.

Thanks for all the love of this photo. I really don’t understand the instagram algorithm. I posted this same photo, I have approximately the same number of followers but it’s only been viewed 11 times!

Backyard goldfinches are getting close to peak yellow. A friend once saw a goldfinch in my backyard and thought it was someone’s escaped pet bird.

Was trying to figure out why this photo of two red tailed hawks looking in opposite directions got to likes the other day. Turns out I forgot to actually post the photo. Oops … I’m guessing they are positioned that way to get better coverage over the neighborhood. #birds #photography

Two red tailed hawks watching over my neighborhood this morning. The whole time I was watching them they were looking in opposite directions, I guess to get better coverage.

Thank you. I did use Merlin and it basically also said 50/50 downy vs. hairy. The hairy is much more rare here (eastern Massachusetts) so I usually default to thinking they are downies.

This woodpecker showed up at my feeder today and I can’t decide if it’s a downy or hairy.
