Almost every picture of a raven or crow that I take will be turned into a black and white photo. Removing background colors can really emphasize how strong and majestic these birds are. #birds #corvids #nature #photography

Common Murre on the Oregon Coast a couple of years ago. #birds #nature #photography

Pondering life's great mysteries? Or are they simply observing other birds in the forest? 🤔 I'm leaning toward the former; why else would owls be considered wise? Juvenile Barred Owl #birds #nature #owl #photography

Why does it look like this bushtit is surfing on this branch 🤔 😂 #birds #nature #photography

Rufous hummingbirds are some of the feistiest birds I have ever seen. They have no problem chasing away other birds for prime flowers and spots near feeders. This makes for some exciting high-speed chases in our yard each summer and I'm looking forward to their return. #birds #nature #photography

Whoooooo's the cutest? This young fluffball also known as a Barred Owl makes a compelling case. #birds #owl #nature #photography

You know it's winter in the PNW when the neighborhood fills with the haunting, flute-like sounds of Varied Thrushes. #birds #nature #photography

Good morning, Bluesky! I photographed this very wet Steller's Jay late one fall. They are absolutely gorgeous. #birds #nature #photography

How many owls do you see? Moose was always really good at finding owls in our local park and, of course, he got rewarded with treats. I wouldn't be the photographer I am today without him by my side on those long morning walks. Today would have been his 14th birthday. ❤️ 😭 #birds #owl #Moose

I haven't posted a photo of an owl since Sunday so let's correct that with this beautiful adult Barred Owl. #birds #owl #nature #photography

Bushtits primarily consume small insects, including those that cling to twigs and leaves. The female bushtit I photographed one summer appears determined to find a satisfying meal among the honeysuckle leaves. #birds #nature #photography

An Osprey scans the shoreline along the Oregon Coast. #birds #osprey #nature #photography

I found a photo of a turkey vulture I took several years ago that I didn't care for. I decided to make it black and white and added a strong vignette. Now it has a dark, spooky vibe that I really enjoy. #birds #nature #photography

This northern flicker wasn't going to let a little rain (or a downpour) stop it from getting a bite to eat. #birds #nature #photography

#SuperbOwl Sunday is here! Apparently there is a big game on TV today but I'm more interested in all of the owl photos that will be posted. My contribution is this adorable juvenile Barred Owl! #birds #nature #photography #owl

It's finally #SuperbOwl weekend! I don't have much to say about this Barred Owl that I haven't said before, but I do want to emphasize how gorgeous it is. Also, notice its neck flexibility! #birds #owl #nature #photography

Good morning, Bluesky! It's Friday of #SuperbOwl week, and today, I'm sharing a photo I took from a bridge of a pair of juvenile Barred Owls looking at a Cooper's Hawk flying above them. #birds #owl #nature #photography

Another for #SuperbOwl week. This adorable Barred Owl was across the creek from me looking for food when it briefly glanced in my direction. They quickly decided I wasn't edible and ignored me the rest of my time there. #birds #nature #owl #photography

Buried in yesterday's Interior Department Secretarial Order on "Unleashing American Energy"* is an attack on birds, indicating the reversal of "Regulations Governing Take of Migratory Birds; Revocation of Provisions," 86 Fed. Reg. 54642. www.doi.gov/document-lib...

Continuing with #SuperbOwl week with this young Barred Owl looking up towards a Robin. #birds #owl #nature #photography

Since it's #SuperbOwl week, here is a Great Horned Owl in my neighborhood a couple of years ago. We have had a family live here for quite a while and I often hear them calling out to each other in the early morning. #birds #owls #nature #photography

Bluesky, HELP! I'm working on valentines cards. I'm behind schedule and I need help with the captions for these lovebirds....ahem...Black Oystercatchers. Racy, double-entendre ok, but nothing outright pornographic, please. #birding

"Is this my good side?" Juvenile Barred Owl I hope you all have a wonderful week! #birds #owl #nature #photography

With all the bullshit coming soon, letting rodents predict the weather is going to seem data-driven in comparison.

We are receiving our first snowfall of the season this weekend and I love photographing birds in the snow. This is a Bushtit I was able to capture with a little bit of snow on its beak. #birds #nature #photography

Good morning, Bluesky! I hope you all have a great weekend. Photo is of a juvenile Barred Owl staring into my soul #birds #owls #nature #photography

Happy Friday, Bluesky! This has been a really long month for many of us so let's take a moment and appreciate the beauty around us. This is a male bushtit on a honeysuckle I photographed a few years ago. They are one of my favorite birds to sit back and watch. #birds #nature #photography

Good morning, Bluesky! Here is another photo of one of my favorite little fluff balls. Juvenile Barred Owl #birds #owls #nature #photography

Let's go back to a wet day in October with this unfazed Dark-eyed Junco. #birds #nature #photography
