A photo of a small black, yellow, and white bird perched on a twig.

A lesser (but still pretty great IMHO) goldfinch.

They can be very entertaining to watch!

And sometimes the common wildlife surprises you - like when I saw these two turkeys fighting each other.

I didn't know turkeys fought like this until I watched them go at it.

A photo of a male turkey in full display with his tail feathers up and wings spread out, surrounded by golden fallen leaves.

I love spotting less common species (bobcat!) but I also love studying common wildlife and planning photos.

I watched some turkey for a week or so this autumn, waiting for the perfect capture of a tom surrounded by leaf litter.

Thanks for the shoutout!

A photo of a hawk standing on the ground. The hawk has skinny legs and with fluffy feathers covering the top half, reminiscent of pantaloons.

Thanks! I just checked it out, and it's a great feed. I've liked and followed.

I've noticed robins here all winter this year. It's been very mild in terms of temperature - gray and rainy but not very cold.

Here's an American robin with a nice assortment of worms.

It's another gloomy day, but here's a pretty barn swallow from a nicer day over the summer.

A photo of two bald eagles perched on separate bare branches of a tree. They are facing each other and appear to be screaming at each other.

For #ValentinesDay, my favorite bald eagle couple.

Maybe she's mad that he didn't get her anything?

Thanks! I took that photo around sunrise in the summer, when the owls hadn't tucked in for the day yet.

Sleepy mallard.

I am a photographer.

A photo of a duck on dark water. The light is hitting her head, showing the detail of her mottled brown feathers.

Just a pretty mallard hen.

A photo of a hawk standing on a concrete wall. The hawk has a dark head and back with orange and white barring on its chest.

A cooper's hawk out hunting in the early morning.

I wonder if it's the same one I saw about a week earlier. It was nearby, but not in the same exact location.

Thanks! It was fun to watch. (Though the crawfish would disagree.)
