A yellow-shafted northern flicker takes a break from digging for food. Its eye is obscured by the nictating membrane that protects it from flying debris.

Check out the eye on this yellow-shafted northern flicker! Today I learned that they have a nictating membrane to protect their eyes from flying debris while they dig for snacks. #birds

Great Egrets give elegant and majestic looks with their side profile, but the front facing view with the googly eyes and long neck has its own charm.

The pre-sunrise was intense. The great blue heron was indifferent and went on about getting breakfast.

A Great Egret, a large white bird, with curled white neck, long black legs and a long, pointed yellow bill, perched on the apex of a roof against a very blue sky. Sunny day and the early afternoon sun catching the egrets rigth side, which faces the camera.

When no birds show up for your 4 mile hike, but you get this shot from your front step... #Birds 🪶 #Photography #BirdPhotography #FujiFilm #XT5

A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.

Bird sounds.

I found the adorable menace that has been sampling my flowers. At least it's only eating the grass now! #mammals #wildlife #photography

Western Screech owl blending into a tree covered in leaves and vines.

It's no wonder people don't see owls more often... Find the screech owl and then imagine trying to find an angle to get a good photo of it. ;)

Least Bitterns can look like they have zero neck and at other times (like this one) they are almost all neck.

A dark blue-gray bird with a very dark gray head, white neck, and a huge crayfish in it long black beak pulls up in flight against a green background with its wings slightly tucked, showing off its black and white wing tips, and its black and white barred tail flared out.

Getting lunch to go.
