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)

the female Pileated Woodpecker was back today...so interesting how different her behaviour is from the male's...he visits the suet bucket and occasionally the water bowl...she was curious about the berries and the peanut slinky and didn't visit the suet at all....such a treat to see her! #birds

There are thick tree branches in the background. A Pileated Woodpecker perched almost upside down on a branch with red berries. Her tail feathers are flared open.

Check out the pin feathers on the face of this Anna's Hummingbird. #birds #hummingbirds #molting
An Anna's Hummingbird with pin feathers on its face, making its head look slightly bedraggled. It's facing the camera with its head turned toward the right of the frame.

A backlit sailboat or catamaran is just about to sail under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The water is sparkling with sun reflections, and both the Bridge and Sydney's skyline is silhouetted against a blue sky.

Majestic... Early morning. Olivier The Northern Hawk Owl, giving me his best 'over the shoulder' look. He enjoys spending his time, in the Boreal Forests of the Great White North. Very handsome.🦉📸 🇨🇦

Australian White Ibis

#EastCoastKin #Birds #AustralianIbis
An Australian white ibis is resting on the brick edge of a public fountain. He has his head tucked under a wing, so his head is facing towards his tail. His head, chest, belly and upper portion of his wings are white, while his back and tail are black. The white on the wings overlapping the black creates a dramatic and eye-catching zig-zag pattern. His eyes are yellow with a black center. Spotted in Sydney, Australia.

It's starting to feel like spring in California, but the winter birds like this Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula) are still around! This bird was hunting for insects along the lichen encrusted twigs of an oak tree in Stanislaus County. #birds #nature #photography
