The osprey mating season begins with the male osprey building a nest. I watched this osprey gather stick after stick from a nearby picnic area. It was fascinating! #birds #osprey #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #eastcoastkin

This hooded merganser pair have taken up residence in a smallish pond nearby. Could we hear the pitter-patter of little hooded merganser feet soon? Oh, I do hope so! I will keep you posted. #birds #birdphotography #hoodedmerganser #eastcoastkin

Oh, to be as effortlessly elegant as the great egret. If reincarnation is a thing I want to come back as a bird. Actually, I want to come back as anything but a human. Even a worm? Yes! Sign me up! Humanity is vastly overrated. #greategret #birds #birdphotography #eastcoastkin

Greetings! This red squirrel was quite curious. I don’t know if #featherlessfriday is a thing here on Flashes but I’m going to try to post some sort of non-bird animal every Friday. #mammals

Tree swallow stretching its wings. This tree swallow thinks it’s silly that a human could “misremember” something that happened the day before. He thinks humans are ridiculous. What a smart little tree swallow. #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #treeswallow #nature #naturephotography

The fish crow can be found along the eastern sea seaboard of the US from RI to Key West, and along the northern coastline of the Gulf of Mexico. That’s right, the Gulf of Mexico. If you are standing along the Gulf of Mexico you just might see this bird! Gulf of Mexico. Gulf. Of. Mexico. #birds

Greater yellowlegs in the early morning light. Have I said how very happy I am to be here in Flashes? 🧡 #birds #connecticutbirder #nature

Male brown-headed cowbird. The cowbird female does not make a nest, but lays one egg at a time in nests of other bird species. The usually unsuspecting foster mother raises the cowbird as her own, but not before the little baby cowbird pushes other eggs and foster siblings out of the nest. #birds
