A grey day in the park yesterday was brightened when a passerby mentioned he had seen an owl a few hundred yards in the direction we were headed and we found it! #birds #photography #birdphotography #Raptors #owl 🦉

A Barred Owl (my first attempt at ALT Text)
A Barred Owl, a large, stocky owl with brown and white markings, round head, no ear tufts, and a medium-length tail, is perched on a branch in a forest.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The morning sun filters through the trees, and a bird’s call reminds us that the day belongs to the wild first.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay was set by Rob as #BirdsOnTheGround

And since it's also #TwosDay here's a pair of sandhill cranes I saw last weekend

Was kinda surprised at how few photos I have of birds on the ground 😁

A close up of two sandhill cranes looking in opposite directions with their heads somewhat aligned to the camera. Focus is on the one in the back. Background is blurry green and brown reeds mostly.
