Found this complete old model kit on Ebay. One of my favorite birds and I had one when I was a young boy, so I couldn't resist buying it. Ah, memories! #birds

Vultures gathering at Patoka Lake in Indiana, USA, before heading off for warmer climates. Mostly turkey vultures, but there are a few black vultures mixed in as well. #birds

A small flock of what I believe are whistling swans flying low over a small residential lake in southeastern Illinois, USA. Lo-res archival photo from a friend of a friend. #birds #ornithology

Whitetail deer with nice reflection at wetlands at Patoka Lake, Indiana, USA. See the turtle? #mammals

Little Downy Woodpecker foraging in the leaf litter right next to my car. I didn't want to scare him off, so I didn't even roll down the window for this shot! #birds

Difficult ID. My best guess is a Swainson's (Olive-Backed) Thrush due to uniform back color and eye ring. Any US birders care to weigh in? Thanks! #birds

Red-headed woodpecker photo of mine on the wall. #birds
