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.

Captured on my way to work this morn.

Seriously, all I want to do is make photographs and play with my dogs. Is that so bad?

It's become a tradition for me to post this short video I recorded of a Barred Owl for #SuperbOwlSunday!

California poppies are already blooming here in California.
😲 We have had a very warm winter so far.

Closeup of a single California poppy that is bright orange-yellow with a bright orange center and orange stamen. The background is twigs and a glimpse of the poppy's stem and leaves. The sun is shining brightly. Spotted on a hike in San Luis Obispo, California. We have had an unusually warm winter, so all the wildflowers are blooming earlier than usual. This is the beginning of February, and they normally bloom in March/April.

A dirt hiking trail on the side of Cerro San Luis Obispo mountain. The steep mountainside has green vegetation with an oak tree growing just above a huge boulder. The sky is blue with white streaky clouds radiating from the profile of the mountain. San Luis Obispo, California.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this female peregrine falcon shake

The way she slowly grows in to a falcorb is mesmerizing 🫨

This video is NOT in slow motion!

This morning's hike on Cerro San Luis Obispo. Heading back down the mountain.

#EastCoastKin #ColorADay #GreenSat #HumansOfBluesky #BlueskyArtShow #Sunshine #Hiking #WestCoastKin #LandscapePhotography
It's a beautiful sunny day with blue skies and wispy white clouds. Several hikers are walking on a wide dirt trail heading back down to the trailhead on Cerro San Luis Obispo mountain in San Luis Obispo, California. The hills and fields are bright green, and the distant mountains are a darker blue-green. One hiker is wearing a red shirt and straw hat. February 2026

First timer for #SmallBirdSaturday. I like this unusual view of a Long tailed Tit flying up to the underside of the gutter to gather spiders/webs.

This Bald Eagle is approximately a month old in these pics. The parents continue to bring in sticks and work on the nest daily. The first pic cracks me up as a parent brings a stick back and baby is sitting these saying can I eat it.😂🪶

Saw this on my way to take photos and had to stop. A red-shouldered hawk. I can't tell what it's eating.

Probably the smallest single wildflower I ever shot... It was the size of a pinkie fingernail and quite the challenge to hit the focus.
