I enjoy photography first, birding is a side effect of my hobby. Most of my photographs are from the urban landscape of the Midwest United States, which goes to show if you give nature just a little breathing room, amazing things can happen.

For the #birdoftheday it really helps to get good perched photos after they've fed.

I've had such an amazing year as far as birds go, but this photo is the one I'm particularly fond of for 2025.

These raptors are considered endangered where I am.

I took pro photographers advice today and went out in bad weather. They're not wrong.

I'm learning to remove images in front of the subject and seem to be getting better.

Only time I see a raptor on the ground is when they have a kill. This one was just resting for a few minutes.

I went out searching for coywolves, spotted a new bird to me. A northern harrier.
