Double-crested cormorant. I've become a little bit obsessed with these beautiful birds.

This grey-headed parakeet has popped out to wish a happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates.

I took this at Panna Tiger Reserve in India last February.

A grey-headed parakeet perches on the edge of a hole in a tree trunk, with its head and chest outside the hole and the rest of its body inside. It has a grey head, light orange beak and light green chest.

Spotted deer line up for a drink in Panna Tiger Reserve, India.

#nature #wildlife #photography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #India #Panna #Nikon #animals
Eight spotted deer line up at the water's edge to take a drink. Their reflections are visible in the water. Most of the deer have their heads down while drinking, but two of them are looking at the camera.

I call this one "fish stick."

A seagull stands in wet sand, with its beak open. A fish has just fallen out of the gull's beak and appears to be "standing up" on the end of its tail, with its head near the bird's beak.

Two wire-tailed swallows sit on a branch. One is turned toward the other with its beak open, as if it's yelling at the other one.

My group spent five days each at Panna Tiger Reserve and Bandhavgarh National Park, plus a day visiting the temple complex at Khajuraho. Amazing trip.
