I am an amateur birder and wildlife photographer, just enjoying sharing what I happen to stumble across. I shoot a Canon EOS R6 Mark 2. I only post photos that I took and I use no AI in my editing process.
Rock Wren. Arizona.

Sometimes you take a photo you are sure won't be in focus and are pleasantly surprised! I could barely see this guy through the leaves, but he could sure see me! #staredown for today's #birdoftheday.

It's superbowl day, so here are some superb owls from the Raptor Education Group Inc in Antigo, Wisconsin.

Hope everyone has a fun time tonight whether you're watching the game or not!

Dark-eyed Junco. Wisconsin.

This very striking male Junco posed for me last fall. Perfect for the #posted theme for today's #birdoftheday.

Mallards. Wisconsin.

For today's #birdoftheday theme #serenity, I'm digging way back to a photo I took when I was just starting out last fall. I loved the lighting on this pair. It looked like they were watching the sunset.

Gila Woodpecker. Arizona.

Late submission today because I had to get home to edit this! Today's #birdoftheday theme is #birds&berries. I only started photography this fall, so not a lot of berries around. I caught this Gila Woodpecker carrying one while I visited Arizona!

Domestic Duck (feral). Arizona.

I've chosen the alt theme of #black&white for today's #birdoftheday to show off this very pretty domestic duck I saw hanging out with some wild Mallards and Pintails.

Dark-eyed Junco and Black-capped Chickadee. Wisconsin.

For today's #birdoftheday theme. #backyardbirds, I thought I'd share two! This Junco was guarding the seed tray fiercely.

Pied-billed Grebe. Arizona.

I just posted my favorite #reflections shot a few days ago (scroll back to the Snowy Egret if you want), but this is a close second! This little grebe was diving constantly, I managed only a couple shots of it on the surface! #birdoftheday

Snowy Egret. Arizona.

Today's theme for #birdoftheday is #openbeak. I got to watch this egret hunt for snacks in this wetland for a long time.

Black-throated Sparrow. Arizona.

I've chosen the alternate theme for today's #birdoftheday, which is #shortleggedbirds! These little sparrows were common, but very fun to watch.

Ring-necked Duck. Arizona.

#Ducks is the theme for the #birdoftheday. I've got a lot to choose from, I love photographing waterfowl. Diving ducks, like this one, are really fun to watch!

Today's #birdoftheday theme is #favoriteofthemonth. This is hard for me, because I took a long trip to Arizona and haven't even come close to sorting through and editing all those photos! But this Snowy Egret action shot is one I keep coming back to.

Cooper's Hawk. Arizona.

This juvenile was giving me full #eyecontact for today's #birdoftheday.

House Finch. Arizona.

I already did the main #birdoftheday theme, iridescence, but I couldn't help posting something for the alternate theme, #finches, too.

Mallard. Wisconsin.

This mallard's head shows #iridescence, perfect for today's #birdoftheday theme. If you see these ducks all the time, it's worth it to stop every once and a while to remember how beautiful they are!

Dark-eyed Junco. Wisconsin.

Female birds don't tend to get as much love as their more striking male counterparts. Today's theme for #birdoftheday is #brownisbeautiful, so I'm hoping to see lots of pretty ladies!

Bobcat. Arizona.

It's not just birds around here. Sometimes I take photos of mammals, too!

The bobcat is the smallest of the four lynx species and is very adaptable, often living very close to human habitation.

Northern Pintail. Arizona.

Today's #birdoftheday theme is #paddling. For once, I have a lot of photos to choose from! I chose this gorgeous male Pintail who let me get real close for a good photo.

Great Egret. Arizona.

Meeting both #birdoftheday themes, #poise and #white, the Great Egret was once hunted extensively for their breeding plumes. They've since recovered and are a very widespread species, occurring across six continents. #birdfacts 🪶

Mourning Dove. Wisconsin.

Going with the alt theme #pigeons&doves for today's #birdoftheday, because I don't have many swan photos!

Ring-billed Gull. Wisconsin. 2025. Photo by me.

A strutting gull for today's #birdoftheday theme, #walking. This gull is widespread across North America and is very adaptable. It will eat just about anything, tbh. #birdfacts 🪶

Northern Saw-Whet Owl. 2026. Arizona. Photo by me.

Today's alt theme for the #birdoftheday is #shuteye. I hadn't gotten to edit this photo yet from my Arizona trip, but I couldn't resist a quick phone edit to share it for the theme!

American Kestrel. Wisconsin. 2025. Photo by me.

I interrupted this kestrel's #feedingtime this winter. It took the mouse to go for a more private meal.

Common Goldeneye. 2025. Wisconsin. Photo by me.

Today's #birdoftheday theme is #winterlight, so I thought I would share this pair of goldeneye I spotted along an icy river one morning.

Mourning Doves. Wisconsin. 2025. Photo by me.

Mourning Doves can raise up to 6 broods of chicks in a single year! Probably not in cold areas like Wisconsin though.
