A juvenile Bald Eagle lands in a tree in the back yard so I grabbed my camera. It still amazes me every time it happens. #birds 🪶 #photography #nikon #Nature #raptors #EastCoastKin 📷: Nikon Z8, Nikkor Z 800mm

There's an old expression "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." Unfortunately, cats can't read nor understand old expressions.

If I'm correctly understanding the locations given, it sounds like he went to the home of Rep. Kristin Bahner (37B) but didn't find her home. And then to the home of Sen. Ann Rest (43) but a New Hope cop arrived to do a wellness check before he could carry out the murder.

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

The forest floor is looking lovely right now. Bunchberries are popping up all over. These are tiny members of the dogwood family. 🌿

Want a depressing fact? Google announces they’ve purchased a property near Columbus Ohio for a new data center. That undeveloped business park is one of the only places around here that hosts Grasshopper Sparrows, a rapidly declining state-endangered bird.

The backyard is lush right now and the creek is a popular bathing spot. While we hear and see them regularly, this visitor isn’t usually so obvious, but this male Merlin apparently wanted to see if the little birds were paying attention. They were! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

This adorable Baltimore Oriole fledgling was calling from a tree top, which is how I found him/her. Love those tiny tail feathers 💛 Dad was bringing in lots of tasty bugs to eat.

Up early today so got a chance to see one of my favourite local spots at dawn. Such pretty light and beautiful things to see. Look at Mama shoveler with her crew! Think they’ll grow into those bills? Ruddy, the #BestDuck, was looking fine and avocets were elegant as always #birds 🌿

Parent just left Junior Magpie in the garden. He hasn’t quite got the whole “flying” thing down yet so this is a good safe place to figure things out #birds

It was a beautiful day today birding once the sun came out around noon. It was a little slow bird-wise, but today seemed to be juvie day. Lot’s of juniors experiencing life for the first time. Saw junior grackle, robin, turkey, and geese. Pics to come. This is junior grackle on the camera being fed.

This was a nice pose from Scootie yesterday with an over the shoulder glance. This shows the frayed tail feathers and the gray feet compared to the tan shins. I’m using those two as visual indicators for Scootie.

It's the time of year where I learn what everyone's fledglings look like based on which parents are feeding which scrungly teens. (This method doesn't really work with cowbirds.) This is a towhee, though.

I had the BEST day today, this is the first time I've seen a calliope hummingbird in the wild without a hummingbird feeder attracting them. It was amazing. They're BC's tiniest bird weighing 2-3 grams! STOKED. #birds
