Little Blue Heron

Dandelions, like all things in nature, are beautiful when you take the time to pay attention to them.

Greenfinch (Carduelis chloris) It was cold but sunny and this greenfinch was making the most of it!

Great Blue Heron prepares to rest after an unsuccessful feeding strike by first getting all its feathers lined up.

A gang of 6 is rocking my town, and this is one of them 😍

Windy day and fluffed feathers make for an interesting scene.

A young Kestrel fresh out of the nest, it couldn't fly, but just sat outside nest. There were four Kestrel chicks this year, this was the boldest. It's been a good year for birds around here, but bad in ways we all know about !!

all fluffed out

Resting and trying to stay warm, a female House Sparrow fluffs up its feathers and poses sweetly for me.

I like its feather colors as well as the color of the beak.

Enjoy the weekend, everyone...

This is a totally different look for an American Bittern. After just going in the swamp after a fish and consuming it, for a split second it fluffed up and shook the water off it’s feathers. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing through my camera.

This little bunch of feathers was born a couple day prior to when I took this photo ( 16th July ) and was mostly staying very close to the mother which already had some almost grown up that must have hatched around late March ?

Even after their best, they look a pretty sight

It was a cold morning when I spotted the Northern Pygmy Owl. She was all fluffed up trying to stay warm. These birds are really tiny - 5-9 inches, but they are strong for their size and can carry prey weighing more than twice their weight.

This Horned Lark fluffs its feathers presumably for warmth.

A yellow billed cuckoo coming to investigate a few Ovenbirds singing loudly in an opening of a forest. There are many types of birds that live and breed in the forest, and cuckoos are among the most unique. Unlike their European cousins the North American Yellow Billed Cuckoo do lay their own eggs in their own nest, even though they can be nest intruders as well. They are one of the animals that eat gypsy moths, so they are going to have a heck of year this year as we’ve got a horrible outbreak this year!

Last April, I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful male snowy owl. It this shot, it fluffed itself up and shook as the finale of its preening routine.

Aufgeplustert wie ein kleiner Feder- / Flauschball saß das Rotkehlchen im Schnee und beobachtet die Umgebung und die fallenden Schneeflocken :)
