unquestionably feral, often dishevelled, sometimes in/elegant guise

I said the world was mad, and the world said I was mad, and they outvoted me.

Nikon Z8 nature/wildlife photographer based in Toronto, Canada.
playing around with focus stacking, since i didn't have my wide angle lens with me at the time (i know)

but it was a cool ice effect (haha terrible), and i haven't seen it any other year

*thinks* is it a little too on-the-nose to use a Song Sparrow for the #BirdoftheDay #Singing theme?

not at all - it's nice to remember May in the middle of January!

since i have so many options for today's #BirdoftheDay challenge #FeedingTime, here's a very pleased-looking wood duck drake with a mouthful of... i'm not sure what. maybe more zebra mussels?

#FeedingTime isn't always a relaxed meal with friends in the bird world... sometimes it's a race against a big jerk (american black duck), especially when you find a seafood feast like this #BirdoftheDay
(any help on ID?)

Did you know that the Virginia opossum HAS THUMBS? ...but ONLY on its back feet?!
What kind of cruel evolutionary joke is that?

After #Toronto got buried in a massive #snowstorm yesterday, I was inspired to look back to last year around this time. It was a bit of a different vibe here in the Beach(es)

Hope your day is going better than this #BirdoftheDay moment!

#Gulls don't often run into hawks at close quarters, but this disappointed Red-tailed hawk missed its breakfast AND got divebombed/squawk-attacked by this (Herring?) gull over and over

of course, winter birbs are always fun too, even if the sky turns out to be a slightly weird colour

In my search for an ID on this clearly yellow specimen, I discovered that the proper name for a Blue Dasher is apparently 'Pachydiplax longipennis', and it reminded me yet again that taxonomy seems to be a very horny science

This very obliging (and apparently pleased) green-winged teal is covered in #speckles&spots and an almost moire pattern of stripes, perfect for today's #BirdoftheDay challenge.

10/10 would definitely accept another quest from this jaded rabbit relaxing in the sunshine amid the cottonwood floofs on the solstice.

Some bright #contrast for today's #BirdoftheDay challenge. Yellow warblers are one of my favourite subjects - so much character in a tiny body.

Got three #BirdoftheDay #SideProfiles in this one - and that (apparent) indignation is priceless.

OMG HE DROPPED IT NO FAIR!

apparently the #BirdoftheDay theme is #LongLegsandNeck - its neck is tucked in, but it counts!

i'm still not sure how i managed to capture this one
