A grey day in the park yesterday was brightened when a passerby mentioned he had seen an owl a few hundred yards in the direction we were headed and we found it! #birds #photography #birdphotography #Raptors #owl 🦉

A Barred Owl (my first attempt at ALT Text)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is Tits, Chickadees, and Titmice. Black-capped Chickadees are non-migratory. Here's one near Punnichy, Saskatchewan, in winter when temperaturescan be -40° or lower. This one is perched on one leg to avoid heat loss though the other leg.

Storm clouds racing up Colpoy's Bay, Ontario in the #bluehour for #BlueSkyMonday. Only a 25-second exposure, the clouds were moving fast.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #wings. So here's little and large wings made with the same manual focus telephoto 20 years apart.

Ooh, interesting! I just read that they hybridize with Mallards often. The picture on "All About Birds" shows the hybrid with a green "cap". This one definitely is getting some green on the head. I'm still thinking probably domestic cross because of the white on the chest. I'll watch if it's around.

Good morning to you too. 😊🙏

Here's a few flying fighting Wood Pigeons with their #wings spread for #BirdOfTheDay
