🪶Yellow Warbler - finally one sits still long enough, and in the open enough, for a photo! Been trying for years. Such a gorgeous bird!

Paddle-tailed Darner - we believe this to be the species, waiting for confirmation. If so it will be our first sighting which is exciting. Lucky to have it hover in place, they never perch!

🪶Ladder-backed Woodpecker - from my trip to AZ a few months ago. We don’t get these here in the PNW so this was a real treat! They are non-migratory, permanent residents of the US southwest and Mexico.

In one week, I say goodbye to Rwanda and relocate to Tanzania. After 4½ unforgettable years, I’m reflecting on the wildlife that made this chapter so special. I’ll be sharing some of my favourite images in the days ahead.

First up this Malachite Kingfisher.
📍Kigali, Rwanda.

#Birds 🪶
In just one week, my family and I will be leaving Rwanda as we prepare to relocate to Tanzania. It’s been an incredible 4½ years — a time filled with meaningful experiences, inspiring people, and unforgettable encounters with Rwanda’s extraordinary wildlife. As we prepare to say goodbye, I’ll be sharing a selection of my favourite wildlife photographs captured during our time here. These images reflect not only the natural beauty of Rwanda but also the deep appreciation I’ve developed for its landscapes and biodiversity. I look forward to sharing these moments with you in the coming days. Up first is this composite image of four photographs I edited to show the flight of a Malachite Kingfisher. 📍Kigali, Rwanda.

🪶White-faced Ibis - got these shots down in Cottonwood, AZ a couple of months ago. A flock flew in and circled probably 30 times before finally deciding to land. Lots of chances to snap photos! Cool birds!

🪶 Bullock's Oriole - gorgeous bird that had some things to say to me while camping in Eastern Oregon. Loved watching these orange bolts fly amongst the trees.

🪶Western Kingbird - cleared for landing? In the flycatcher family, these birds are fairly acrobatic. This one was really moving and I was lucky to get any clear shot at all!

🪶Northern Flicker - eyeing some water down below just before sunset. These birds are fascinating to watch, as they’re very cautious when eating, pausing frequently to scan the skies for trouble (i.e., raptors).

A beautiful bit of Nature, The Least bittern.

Such an interesting creature to watch, as it wanders through the swamp. It will constantly look for tadpoles., dragonfly larva, and frogs.

Slight distractions removed.

🏞️ A rare landscape photo from me because I just couldn’t resist the alignment in this beautiful scene. Had to hike back a ways because I didn’t even have my 35mm, just my telephoto 🤣

🪶 Rock Wren - on a rock, of course! New sighting for me and this bird was not interested in showing me anything but back, which was fine with me because look at that gorgeous feather pattern!

🪶Western Kingbird - looking very Kingly. In the flycatcher family, they’re fun to watch whilst they hunt on the wing.

🪶California Quail - always ready for a fancy event! Love their cooing calls and how they move around in close knit little coveys.

Our public lands & wildlife are in danger. This is not a partisan topic. Make your voice heard & share to others who also care to protect our wildlife. Although I am in the resist camp, you won't find me posting much to this account. This is important. #wildlife #resist

🪶Song Sparrow - a little disheveled, but what a voice! Sat 10ft (3m) from me and sang over and over. They’re so passionate in their singing their whole body gets into it.
