For #TalonTuesday, here's the #RedTailedHawk I caught eyeing up my backyard bird feeder the other day. Thankfully it flew off without making an attempt on my local songbirds.

I haven't posted much recently due to other projects that must be finished by the end of the year. I finally had time to get out shooting yesterday so hopefully I'll be able to share more soon. Here's a #BlackCappedChickadee enjoying a seed pod on a tree.

I see that today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingOnThings except the floor, with an alternate theme of #Gulls.

I figure, why not both?

It's very cold and rainy with the Nor'Easter moving through New England and the animals seem to be hiding away right now. Ergo, I am sharing a photo I choose to call "Goose Noir" from this past spring.

A goose sits on a concrete wall, with another concrete wall behind her. She is angled toward the left front of the frame with her chin bowed down and giving side-eye to the viewer. The concrete walls are in deep shadow while a strong sunbeam comes down from the top right to illuminate her body.

To make everyone feel extra creepy crawly today, here's a #spider spinning up a #stinkbug for dinner.

A spider sits on her web with light misty water drops scattered around, as she descends on a stink bug who got caught in the web. The spider has her legs and body above the stink bug so she can begin trapping it in her silk.

A flock of #sandpipers foraging on the beach, all facing different directions at varying #angles, then uniformly running away in the same direction as the surf comes in.

#BlueSkyArtShow #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #nikon
A flock of sandpipers foraging on Scarborough Beach, ME, just after dawn at the end of August. The birds are facing all different directions, in the center horizontal line of the image. The sand in the foreground and background is rippled and covered in sea foam left behind by the surf from Hurricane Erin out at sea. A flock of sandpipers on Scarborough Beach, ME, just after dawn at the end of August. The birds are running toward the right of the frame, as foamy ocean surf enters from the left. The birds do their best to not let the water reach their legs. They are small birds, and the surf is high in comparison to their body size.

I see a lot of Sunday #yellow & #butterfly hashtags today. While I don't want to go against the grain, nature doesn't care about the hashtags and gave me something different.

Here's a #grasshopper sitting on an #orange calendula flower.
#BloomScrolling #insects #wildlife #macro #photography #nikon
A grasshopper sits on a bright orange calendula flower. The flower head and grasshopper are in sharp focus, which the stem of the flower rising up from the ground is out of focus with the rest of the green background. The grasshopper is facing toward the left of the frame and glancing slightly forward toward the viewer. Its left leg looks as though it's about to step forward, and its beginning to lift its back legs. A macro image of a grasshopper sitting on a bright orange calendula flower.

Some type of shore #bird - possibly a young #EiderDuck - swims in the sea at low tide shortly after dawn, getting caught in the sea foam churned up by the rough surf caused by #HurricaneErin off the coast of Southern Maine.

I have a backlog of shorebirds from last weekend that I haven't had time to process and share yet.
In the meantime here's one: a #sandpiper running from incoming surf. I'm not sure of the exact type, so if anyone else is better at IDing let me know!

#birds #nature #wildlife #photography #nikon
A sandpiper on the beach runs from the right to left of the frame to avoid the incoming surf from a wave at the ocean. It is an early morning scene, and the orange glow of sunlight hits the water and bird at a low angle from the left.

A pair of #rabbits for this #TwosDay.

#mammals #nature #wildlife #photography #nikon
Two rabbits sit in the center of a dirt path in a wildlife sanctuary with long grass on either side. One rabbit is facing toward the right and is low to the ground as it sniffs for something. The other rabbit is immediately behind the first looking toward the left as it tucks its mouth down to its chest to groom itself. The rabbits are sitting in the brightest part of the trail where the morning sun hits the ground.

Three #geese enjoy the early morning sun as it warms the rock they stand on.

#birds #nature #wildlife #summer #photography #nikon
Three geese stand on a rock at the edge of a wetland with the early morning sun illuminating their chests from a low angle coming from the left of the frame. The left-most and center geese are dozing with their heads nestled into their back feathers. The right-most goose looks sleepy but has its head raised and angled toward the left. Lush green vegetation forms a bakdrop behind the geese.
