Annnnd a funny follow up photo. Just wants to enjoy lunch!
A Cooper’s hawk perched on a tree branch, squawking while standing over the remains of its prey. The vibrant yellow blossoms in the foreground partially blur the view, adding depth to the image, while the textured, lichen-covered branch contrasts with the hawk’s sharp features and intense posture.

Lucky enough to catch this Cooper’s Hawk after his snack. I always enjoy watching them cleanup, beak and talons afterwards.

The hawk’s sharp features, including its barred breast and piercing orange-yellow eyes, are clearly visible, contrasting with the dark, lichen-covered bark of the branch.

#WaderWednesday love it when iPhone photos turn out like this! This was a random sighting, just out for a walk with family and ran across this guy last year. #birds

I never have videos, but was looking back and saw that I happened to have one of this.

My favorite part is the mallards just cruising by. 🦆

Happy #FlyDay - Ospreys doing some nest building! Fenwick Island, Delaware. #birds

Have a great Friday everyone!
Two ospreys are perched on a wooden platform while building a nest. One osprey is standing on the nest, observing, while the other is hovering just above, grasping a branch in its talons to add to the nest structure. The nest is constructed with sticks and branches, resting on a man-made support structure against a clear blue sky.

Dual waders for #WaderWednesday!
The image shows two great blue herons standing in shallow water. They are facing slightly upward with their long necks extended, and their reflections are visible in the calm water. The background is muted, with no distinct features, emphasizing the birds and their serene environment.
