I'm finally early for #BirdOfTheDay, haha. Today's theme is #Portrait.

I LOVE hooded crows. They're so fun to watch, and especially to photograph. So naturally, I have these close-up portraits of them :)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay involves a bird #DivingForFood, so I wanted to include this osprey that I caught one time!

A great blue heron portrait. This was most likely my first attempt at drawing realism in birds 👀

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, we got a house sparrow for the alt theme, #EverydayBirds :D

I was photographing a grebe from the bushes until he flew in there with me..

"so, what are we photographing?"

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #WaterBirds. Accordingly, here's a young great crested grebe. This one was difficult to choose, I absolutely love photographing waterfowl :)

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #OddCouples, and I immediately thought of this one time I captured a common sandpiper and a white wagtail together. It looked like they were staring at each other

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, I had a couple of pictures I wanted to include for: #StareDown!

Dunlin, brambling, fieldfare and hooded crow. Which one has the fiercest? 👀

"Owls of the North"

All of these owls are abundant where I live, so I decided to include them all in one artwork!

I also decided to share my art on top of photography on this account. Signed by "Don," as in my old alias.

Not exactly sure which species this juvenile is. I've been wondering for quite some time. However, it really fits today's #BirdOfTheDay : #posted !

Any help with ID is greatly appreciated :)
