Plumbeous hawk looking fierce at Burbayar Nature Reserve in Panama
#birds
Gray hawk with black wings, red eye, and orange patch at the base of its beak, sitting on a horizontal branch looking down. Its feet are also orange, and a white patch is barely visible on the back edge of its wing. The background is blurred green with bright spots.

Photo of a white middle aged woman sitting on a concrete floor surrounded by animal cages. She’s concentrating on a camera in her hands while an adorable light brown and grey game hen stands in her leg.

A female Northern Bentbill working on her nest last year outside my office window at @casabentbill.bsky.social

Will she use the same spot this year? Stay tuned!

A small bird perched on a thin branch with nesting material in its beak. The bird has a gentle olive-yellow belly, gray head, and a dark curved bill. Its round, attentive eye gives it an alert expression as it carefully holds several thin plant fibers, likely gathered for nest-building.
