Felt like the coldest morning yet in this epic deep freeze, as you can see by how floofy this beautiful Northern Cardinal is! It's amazing they can survive this bitter weather. 🤎❄️❤️ #Cardinal #CentralPark #birding

A Northern Cardinal waiting out the storm in Central Park during last weekend's blizzard. All puffed up because it was frigid! ❤️❄️❤️ #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

Happy Saturday friends... Took an almost 2-mile hike yesterday on a dark and snowy trail with nary a bird to see. Then as I approached my car to leave, a of Tufted Titmouse came out and said thanks for coming! #birds #birdingOH #wildife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin #BirdoftheDay #IrwinPriaire

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #oddcouples I have a chestnut-backed chickadee flying to a feeder occupied by a dark-eyed junco and a #crow and a #pigeon squabbling over food. For #Urban I have two crows on a #Seattle streetlight just after sunrise.

I only caught bits and parts of their explanation of the dance and the elements of the regalia but I tried my best to describe what's going on in the alt text lmao

Went to downtown Portland for an event back in December and managed to catch the end of a performance from Huehca Omeyocan—an amazing performance and so cool to learn the history & culture behind it ✨👏

Photo of a large group of crows all rushing to grab dropped peanuts off the ground. Some are on the ground grabbing at them with their beaks, some are above the crowd trying to find a place to land, and one stands awkwardly off to the side. Portland, OR. January 15, 2026. Sony A7IV + Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3.

Photo of a handsome lil crow with a peanut in its beak standing in the grass. Portland, OR. January 15, 2026. Sony A7IV + Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3.

Feeding crows in Portland is fun but you gotta be careful or you'll wind up attracting a crowd of like, 30 of them and every dropped peanut becomes a tangle of black feathers lol

“Yes you deserve a little treat, but it does not count as ‘a little treat’ if it costs $3200” I have to mentally repeat to myself while staring wistfully at the Sony G Master Series II lenses at Best Buy

They're such funny lil guys I love watchin em do it hahaha

Started a new job recently so I've been pretty busy, but here's some choice pictures of ducks I caught not too long ago while out for a walk 🦆✨

A Barred Owl stands on a Weeping Willow tree branch. Surrounded by the tree's thin branches with soft morning light. The owl is looking directly at the camera.

Look WHO showed up this morning around sunrise. One of our Barred Owls let me get within 20-30 feet of it, about as close as I’ve gotten to one.

A slender branch rises horizontally from the left side, where a red-legged honeycreeper perches, to the right, where a silver-throated tanager sits with its back to the camera, but looking left.

A photo of a hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus), a small old world vulture with a bare pink face and neck, dark eyes, gray hood, dark brown feathers covering the rest of its body, and a relatively long thin bill; and a white-backed vulture (Gyps africanus), a medium-sized old world vulture with a dark downy neck and head, dark eyes, dark hooked bill, off-white feathers on its back and the tops of its wings, white underside, and darker feathers at the edges of its wings and its tail. They are perched next to one another at the top of a scrubby tree at dusk, the sky behind them gray and hazy, and the white-backed vulture has its wings partially spread as though preparing to take off.

Two vultures. #BirdOfTheDay #oddcouples

Black-headed gull in flight just inches above deep blue water, wings fully spread and glowing white in the sunlight. Its red bill is open as droplets splash behind it, suggesting it has just snatched prey from the surface. The bird’s reflection ripples below, slightly distorted by gentle waves, mirroring the motion and adding a sense of speed and precision.

Just back folks. I'm honestly going to try and see as many as I can of the
#BirdOfTheDay entries. Bear with me. I spent quite some time watching Black Headed Gulls today. Keeping my best shots for another day but I like the splash and reflection in this one. #red #birds #EastCoastKin

A photo of a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) perched on a rounded wooden fence post facing to the left of frame with out of focus greenery in the background behind it. It is a medium-sized songbird with lavender-blue coloring above and off-white below, a white face with dark eyes and a black beak, vibrant blue and white barred wings & tail, a blue crest on its head, black legs, and a black v-shaped collar around its neck.

A seal that appears to be missing a flipper is at the edge of a rocky surface striking a banana pose (their body is curved upward like a banana). Also on the rock is a seal sleeping belly-up in the sunlight. Surrounding the rock are vibrant blue waters with numerous white icebergs in the distance. In the background are massive brown rocky cliffs that reach up into the clouds on the left, and a bird flying in clear blue skies on the right.

Perfect form on this banana pose! 📸🍌 #Photography

A photo of a male downy woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) perched on the side of a vertical log-style suet feeder with suet crumbs all over its slightly open beak as it feeds. It is a very small woodpecker with a white underside, speckled black and white back, black and white striped face, a bright red spot on the back of its head, dark eyes, and a short dark gray beak. It is facing to the left of frame with out of focus greenery in the background behind it in dim, diffuse lighting.

Woodpecker Wednesday guy.

Did something I never thought I’d do last night that and finally paid Adobe for something (I started a new job and wanted to be able to edit photos on the go so I bought Lightroom)
