This is one mean little Hawk!

Even though it was almost half the size, this Red Shouldered Hawk chased off the Red Tailed!

"A small bird perches gently on a slender branch, nestled among soft green foliage. Its plumage is a subtle blend of light brown and beige, with delicate streaks tracing its wings and crown like fine brushstrokes. A short, conical beak—perfect for cracking seeds—rests beneath a face marked by a faint eye stripe, giving the bird a look of quiet alertness. The feathers are smooth and close to the body, suggesting stillness and calm. Behind the bird, the background fades into a muted blur, possibly a wall or structure, allowing the sparrow’s earthy tones to stand out in quiet contrast. The overall scene feels intimate and natural, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a moment of stillness in a leafy sanctuary. This bird is a Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina), likely in nonbreeding plumage, where its signature rusty cap is subdued. It carries the understated elegance of a species often overlooked—small, soft-spoken, and sovereign in its perch." - Microsoft Copilot

Life Among the Leaves

This is a Downy Woodpecker—Dryobates pubescens. I captured this image a couple of years ago and was thrilled ...

"A Downy Woodpecker clings upright to the bark of a tree, its small frame taut with purpose. The bird’s plumage is a crisp mosaic of black and white—its wings speckled with white spots like flecks of snow on charcoal, its underside a clean, soft white. A flash of red crowns the back of its head, a vivid badge that marks this one as male, like a ceremonial stamp against the monochrome. Its posture is vertical and deliberate, tail feathers braced against the trunk for balance, claws gripping the bark with practiced ease. The tree itself is rugged and textured, a weathered column of gray and brown that frames the bird’s sharp silhouette. The background blurs into soft greens and earthy tones, suggesting a quiet woodland scene bathed in gentle light. The woodpecker’s eye is alert, its beak poised—ready to tap, forage, or listen. There’s a sense of stillness in the image, yet also readiness, as if the bird is mid-thought, suspended between motion and pause. It’s a portrait of precision and quiet tenacity, a sovereign moment in the life of a tireless woodland artisan." - Microsoft Copilot

Think it's time for a Friday Kingfisher ~ something bright & very cheerful for a very rainy day here ~ photo taken at Forest Farm Nature Reserve - Cardiff - South Wales 😎 🪶 🦉 #birdingwales #ukbirding #birds #kingfisher #nature #wildlife #birdsofbluesky #birdwatching #PhotograpyIsArt #BirdLife
A UK kingfisher is a small, stocky bird, similar in size to a house sparrow or robin, but with a large head and a long, dagger-like beak. It is often described in terms of its sound and movement, as its bright colouration, while striking, can be hard to spot in the dappled light by the water. Size and Shape: It is a compact bird, about 16-17 cm (around 6-7 inches) in length. If a physical model were available, it would feel small and robust, with a disproportionately large head and a long, pointed bill designed for fishing. Its tail is very short, and its legs are small with orange or reddish feet. Colouration (High Contrast/Vibrancy): The bird has a high-contrast pattern. Its back and tail are a bright, electric or metallic blue, while its underparts (chest and belly) are a rich, rusty orange or copper. It has a white patch on its throat and a white spot on the side of its neck. Flight: Its flight is rapid, direct, and low over the water's surface, a "flash of metallic blue" that is over in a blink. Hunting: It typically sits very still and patiently on a low-hanging branch or post over the water, watching for fish. It then suddenly dives headfirst into the water with a quick splash and pops back up to its perch almost instantly.

Over the Sea

A ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis) glided past at eye level, its wings slicing the Gulfport air with effortless grace.

1/2

#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #shorebirds #RingBilledGull
"A solitary ring-billed gull slices through the air above a blurred, silvery expanse of water. Its wings are fully extended in a graceful arc, revealing a tapestry of soft gray feathers edged with crisp black tips—like ink brushed onto parchment. The bird’s body is sleek and streamlined, its white plumage glowing against the muted backdrop. Its yellow beak, marked with a distinct black ring near the tip, points forward with quiet determination. The gull’s eye is sharp, alert, and framed by a subtle shadow that adds depth to its gaze. The background is a soft blur of rippling water, lending motion and serenity to the scene while keeping the gull in sharp, commanding focus. The image captures not just a bird in flight, but a moment of sovereign elegance—midair poise frozen in time." - Microsoft Copilot
