My favourite bird. ☺️🪶❤️

Northern Lapwing by water’s edge. A dark green plover with a wispy crest, black markings on the face, a black breast band, and mostly white underparts with orange under the tail.

Castiel, In the Beginning. He’s sitting on Dean’s motel bed and has turned to look at him.

Out amongst the alligator flag leaves, a single head popped out to survey the surroundings at sunrise: a purple gallinule. #birds

I'm getting some nice eagle looks lately. #birds
A bald eagle with a white head and yellow beak perches on a bare tree branch, gripping it with strong yellow talons. Its dark brown body contrasts with the blurred background of water and leafless twigs, suggesting a natural wetland habitat.

Daily #Destiel 💙💚

So, you're sayin' we're both a couple of dumbasses?
I prefer the word "trusting."
Less dumb, less ass. 🥹😍❤️
A newly graced-up Cas and Dean having a heart-to-heart in the Bunker, and coming to an understanding, Road Trip. The angel Ezekiel possessing Sam in order to heal him, I think I’m gonna like it here. Sam was tricked into saying yes. He isn’t aware of what has happened. Dean had asked the angels for help. Dean telling a human Cas he can’t stay in the Bunker because the Angel possessing Sam made him, I’m no Angel. Cas would have recognised the Angel was actually Gadreel. A newly human Cas watching the angels fall, Sacrifice. Metatron tricked him, and stole his grace to finish a spell to cast the angels from Heaven. Cas thought he was saving Heaven.

Admiring the cutlery #birds
A juvenile bald eagle with mottled brown plumage and lighter streaks on its head perches on a pale, weathered branch. Its yellow talons grip the branch firmly as it looks downward, highlighting its curved yellow beak and intense gaze. The blurred background draws focus to the bird’s striking features.

It's nice when they sit for formal portraits every once in a while. #birds
A bald eagle with a white head and hooked yellow beak perches on a bare tree branch. Its dark brown body and wings contrast with the blurred background, which emphasizes the eagle’s sharp gaze and powerful talons gripping the branch.

Canada Geese come in a variety of sizes. Northern subspecies tend to be smaller.
