There are a lot of different eagle and hawk species in South Africa, but there was one in particular that I was hoping to see.
It was kind of hidden by branches, high in a tree , but then, this African Fish Eagle took off to check out the riverbank in the late evening light!

Ugh too mad to work. I’m taking a potoo break.

📸Sparkle Motion, Sebastian Lescano, unknown, Melissa Garoo
A potoo straight on. Its big yellow eyes are bugging out of its head, perfectly round and staring in different directions. Its left pupil is slightly more dialated than the right. An adult potoo and a baby potoo sitting on a stump. Both have their mouths slightly open. The adult blends in well with the stump, having smooth brown feathers. The baby is light brown and fluffy. Both look like muppets. A potoo at night, sitting up straight and alert. Its yellow eyes are as wide as they can be, full circles. Its wide mouth is closed and its beak is upturned giving it a comical frown. It looks like Beaker from the muppets: concerned and flustered. A potoo sitting on a stump in the daytime. and it is well camouflaged with its smooth, striped feathers in various shades of brown. Its eyes are closed and it looks like it’s wishing very hard to be a tree.

ice....
thin sheets of ice stacked on a partially frozen lake a thin piece of ice with criss-crossed edges on a partially frozen lake. There are submerged rocks visible under the ice close up of splintered ice reflecting on the water shards of ice floating on the water. The edges are golden from reflected sunset colours

Oh come ON little Oregon Junco!

If they didn't eat so much seed I'd think they were just fey creatures surviving on joy and rainbows.

Absolutely perfect birds!

There are still a few Swans hanging around in Southern Manitoba...pretty late in the season but there is still open water so I suppose they are not in a rush☺️ #birds

the lakes keep trying to freeze but the warmish temps, sunshine and wind are messing things up in the most interesting ways😂

Hi there!
This giraffe took time out from munching on leaves to check us out for a few seconds. At over 5 meters tall, they eat the leaves that no body else can reach!
Taken in Kruger Park, South Africa

A giraffe peaks at us while surrounded by green leaves. Only its neck and head are showing above the trees.

When you’re out fishing please be responsible and clean up your gear. This stuff is a hazard for wildlife.
A handful of fishing line mixed with leaves. I am holding it in my hand. There is a creek in the background.

Rollers are a group of birds that get their name from their
dramatic tumbling flight during courtship and territorial displays.
While we did see a bit of those displays, this Lilac-breasted Roller seemed mainly concerned with flashing his fancy colours!
Kruger Park, South Africa
#Birds 🪶
A Lilac-breasted Roller flys in a blue sky. His wings are completely spread and we can see his lilac coloured face and breast. It contrasts with the turquoise blue of his under wings and the black edging on his wings
