Got so lucky last night with this Osprey landing in the tree right beside me. Was able to get some nice close-up shots before the red-winged blackbirds started harassing it. #birds #birding

The center of the photo is a great blue heron standing on one foot in some tall weeds. In the bottom left, there is a mallard lying down in the weeds

#BirdGlamour returns with the Sandhill Crane! Sandhill Cranes perform elaborate courtship dances for their mates. They stay with their mates year round and mate for life, which may be over 20 years! There are 2.5 million year old Sandhill Crane fossils from FL! 🐑πŸ§ͺ🐦

Two Mallards on a pond diving head down for food. Only the bottom half of the ducks and their feet are visible above the water. Set of reeds in the background of the photo
