I am an amateur birder and wildlife photographer, just enjoying sharing what I happen to stumble across. I shoot a Canon EOS R6 Mark 2. I only post photos that I took and I use no AI in my editing process.
Great Blue Heron. Kentucky.
This heron was enjoying the #peacefulsolitude right before dark (at least until I tried to get a bit closer). Great Blue Herons are considered apex predators in their wetlands. #birdfacts #birdoftheday

Costa's Hummingbird. Arizona.
Hummingbirds are notorious for their high metabolism. When nectar is scarce, they will supplement their diet with small insects. #birdfacts #collectingfood #birdoftheday

Chihuahuan Raven. Arizona.
I'm seriously lacking in good #corvid photos for today's #birdoftheday. This beautiful bird was seen at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum during their free flight program. It's an amazing experience if you're down there!

Here's a raggedy-looking molting Cardinals for today's #birdoftheday theme, #birdbutts. This was from last fall and, I suspect, was a juvenile molting into his adult colors!

Vermillion Flycatcher. Arizona.
Today's theme for the #birdoftheday is #birds&bugs and I immediately thought flycatcher! This one caught a large dragonfly and lost hold of ut. I was lucky to capture it diving to try and catch it again.

Late entry because I forgot to hit "post" this morning 😞. My favorite #oddcouples photo is these two on a very popular branch. There was also a Northern Flicker involved! #birdoftheday

For today's #birdoftheday theme #serenity, I'm digging way back to a photo I took when I was just starting out last fall. I loved the lighting on this pair. It looked like they were watching the sunset.

Late submission today because I had to get home to edit this! Today's #birdoftheday theme is #birds&berries. I only started photography this fall, so not a lot of berries around. I caught this Gila Woodpecker carrying one while I visited Arizona!
