I am an amateur birder and wildlife photographer, just enjoying sharing what I happen to stumble across. I use a Canon EOS R6 Mark 2 and currently my only lens is the Canon RF100-400mm IS USM and I often use a 1.4x extender on that. Still learning!
Snow Bunting. Wisconsin. 2025. Photo by me.
The #Solitude in this photo is misleading, as this little bird was part of a very bold flock of buntings.

Northern Shrike. Wisconsin. 2025. Photo by me.
Shrikes are most known for their predatory behaviors, but they are taxonomically songbirds and are closely related to crows and ravens!

Great Horned Owl (named Fonzie). 2025. Wisconsin. Photo by me.
I think it's hard to take a photo of a GHO without it looking moody, which is today's #birdoftheday theme. This guy is at the Raptor Education Group (REGI) in Antigo, WI.

Black-capped Chickadee. 2026. Wisconsin. Photo by me.
Chickadees are so common, but I love watching them. They are often joined by other birds like Titmice and Nuthatches, as chickadees are exceptional at finding winter food. #birdfacts 🪶
