I'm going to be slowing down on new photos this winter, but will be sharing some photos I took at REGI, the Raptor rehab center I visited in Antigo, WI. This is Morrie, the turkey vulture! 🪶

Like many blue colored birds, Blue Jays don't actually have blue pigment, instead, their feathers have structures that only reflect blue wavelengths of light. #birdfacts 🪶

Yes, there's a bird there, I promise! Brown creepers are pretty common here in Wisconsin, but man they are hard to spot! #birdfacts 🪶

Nuthatches may not be closely related to woodpeckers, but have a lot of similarities through convergent evolution! #birdfacts 🪶

Happy Halloween! Lots of wildlife like to eat pumpkins, but make sure they're not feeding on ones you've painted, as the pain can be toxic. #happyhalloween

The "chick-a-dee-dee" call has several purposes, one of which is an alarm call if danger is near by. The more "dees", the greater the danger. The most I've warranted so far is 7 🤣. #birdfacts 🪶

The snow bunting is a high arctic species that considers Wisconsin a nice balmy place to spend its winters. This was my first look at this amazing bird! #birdfacts 🪶

Yesterday I posted a Hairy Woodpecker, here's it's smaller cousin! Aside from size, the best way to tell these two apart is to look at the white tail feathers. Downies have black spots, Hairies don't. #birdfacts 🪶

These woodpeckers are year-long residents of Wisconsin. Their diet is primarily insects, but they'll readily come to bird feeders. They especially love suet! #birdfacts 🪶

I normally do wildlife portraits, but the sky was just so pretty as this bald eagle soared overhead. It was a 2nd year juvenile and didn't quite have the stereotypical white head and tail. #birds 🪶 #wildlifephotography #nature #animals

These birds are frequent visitors of backyard bird feeders. They prefer large seeds like peanut and sunflower. In the winter, they especially love suet! #birdfacts 🪶

The Sandhill crane has one of the oldest known fossils of any still-living bird! The oldest confirmed sandhill crane fossil is 2.5 million years old! #birdfacts 🪶

Shaking it up with a non-bird photo! This little bugger was kind enough to freeze when it popped up and noticed me on a hike.

This is a male! The females have a broken red cap, while the males have a continuous stripe from bill to nape. #birdfacts
