Male Common Kingfisher feeding one of his freshly fledged juveniles. A very rare thing to see - so having it happen in front of the hide, albeit at some distance, is wonderful.
Within a week the activity levels have dropped dramatically - almost back to 'normal' - i.e. you sit there for hours and see nothing.
A little girl having a ball feeding the pigeons in Piazza San Marco Venice. Since May 1, 2008 a municipal ordinance banning people from feeding the pigeons in the square went into effect. Since then, the local police have been discreetly discouraging tourists from feeding the pigeons without handing out fines - for the moment.
It was lovely to see this Rainbow Lorikeet feeding her 'baby' this morning. Shot against a back drop of light cloud.

A Juvie Dark-Eyed Junco, demanding to be immediately fed! This parent was working extra hard, as there were twins. The little cuties learned that they could pick up the seed all by themselves. Photo taken on June 28, 2024, in our backyard in Camas, Washington.
Birds have a good memory... They saw this elderly woman from afar and everyone gathered in anticipation. Most likely she comes to the shore of the pond regularly.
Caught these feeding in a pond at the Lock and Dam. All I had telephoto with me was my Sony RX10M4 but it seemed to do a good job. Not as sharp as when I shoot with my 200-600 Sony G lens and Sony A7R4 though.
Yesterday, when I heard the squeaking and chattering as a second "Hummer" arrived at the climber vines; I was sure a mini dog-fight was going to occur. Much to my surprise, the new arrival buzzed from flower to flower collecting nectar, while the one on the perch fluttered its wings and chattered incessantly. I was still expecting a face-off and was thoroughly amazed when the one that had been foraging came over and began feeding the perched "squeaker" . Evidently these antics are the hummingbird's version of the "feed me flutter". The activity continued for several minutes before the adult finally departed, and the youngster, who was obviously quite capable of feeding herself began checking the blossoms .
"Same time every day, rain or shine, this guy comes to feed the birds. I can always tell he's on his way down to the poolside because the seagulls are circling above him as he's walking down the path with his bag of food for the birds. I can't see him; just the seagulls going crazy calling out. Then he'll come into view, and breakfast is served."
Summertime never ends, well, at least not in my hard drive :)

Happy Sunday, everyone...

When we have the time we sometimes feed Cleo her kibble one by one. We make her move a bit which is something quite unusual for a cat like Cleo wo thinks twice before she lifts a paw, but the main effect of this way of feeding is that it takes her longer to eat and she feels more sated afterwards. It's not always easy to find volunteers for the job, though. Cleo doesn't bite but she tends to use her claws to get the kibble. You can tell by the fingernails that the volunteer in this case was my niece Natalie.
We have a hatch in our local eagle nest, with one of the adults seen here feeding one of its young, its gray barely visible behind the sticks of the nest. I will be checking often now as the eaglets grow and the nest becomes much busier.
