The #Birdoftheday is the kestrel or members of the tit family. I’m so jealous by all the beautiful photos of kestrels but hopefully my day will come. In the meantime here’s a cute little #chickadee. 🪶

#Birdoftheday #Walks 🪶 I love getting shots of waders, they don’t make my neck hurt like the tiny birds high up in trees. 😂

Can you send them over here to help us out when they’re done? 😂 Once they’ve rested up, obviously!

I love everything about #geese; the attitude, the honking, the fuzzy babies, the one crazy uncle goose who will mess you up if you get too close. 🪶 #Birdoftheday #birds #birdphotography

I can’t really pin down an all time #favoritebird for my #Birdoftheday but at the moment I’m obsessed with this white eyed vireo that sat still long enough for me to get a decent shot. 🪶 #bird #birdphotography #lifer #whiteeyedvireo
