No, this is not AI or even old-school photoshop... this is the elusive Sora Rail who usually hides deep in the reed beds. Often heard but rarely seen. Don't you love it's face and beak??? #birdwatching #sora #rail #birds #photography #pnw #pdx #birdphotography #birding #wildlife #nature #art #1

I had a nice morning birding today. The highlight was a surprise migrator red-breasted merganser. He was by himself and afforded me my best shot of the morning. #Birds #photography #nature

Feel good Friday (lol/cry the world is burning, this is fine edition). Drop a feel good thing below. I can offer petunias in the morning sun.

When listening for Oak Titmouse, I've always listened for a chickadee-like call, but the Oak Titmice (Titmouses?) at Lower Table Rock in Jackson County, Oregon sounded like a junco's trill song, confusing us until we saw one vocalize and put a face on the voice #birding

Good morning. Not able to get out much at the moment and haven't shared a bird in a while so here's one of the cheeky little Blue Tits that occupy our garden! This little one had been finding bugs in our very old grapevine! 🪶 📷 🌿 Happy Tuesday everyone! #birds #Photography #Nature #UKWildlife

I read the opinion column, commented, and then realized that maybe I don’t understand the concept of how to #Romanticize my life - and do I want to. I searched on romanticize and I think it is more than being mindful. Someday I will look into this more.
