I rarely see male Northern Harriers on the Sumas Prairie, so this is likely the same bird I saw last month.
Went to a bear and wolf sanctuary in West Yellowstone today and got to spend some time with some beautiful wolves.
Living in northern forests of North America year-round and rearing chicks in the dark of winter. Highly curious and always on the lookout for food. One of my favorite Canadian (Perisoreus canadensis) birds.
A Great Gray Owl gives me a look of mild curiosity mixed with pure boredom.

Large chickenlike bird with long neck and tail. Overall brown with grayer head; note rufous wing feathers. Usually seen in small flocks crashing clumsily through the trees, typically at middle levels along forest edge or in second growth.
I had to change Declan as his outfit was needed for another guy... so I just dressed him in some random clothes and suddenly he became another character! Dorian Gray, the beautiful young man who stays beautiful no matter how wicked and dissolute he becomes... but the same cannot be said for his portrait. The portrait painted of him when he was young and beautiful gradually starts to change and deform and eventually becomes hideous. I made the portrait of Declan/Dorian using PicsArt and adding various effects. Then I printed it on photo paper and used a craquelure glaze on it to give it an antique oil painting effect. Most of the other objects in the picture are thift store finds....I tried to include memento mori elements and others relating to beauty and vanity.. some can be seen others not.
This Blue-gray Tanager, Thraupis episcopus, was visiting a garden surrounded by forests and fields. In western Ecuador the species tends to be grayer and does not have the white on the wings. The colors on this bird, as in many of the neotropical tanagers, look as if they might have been AI generated.

Jerry loves to eat out, and the Grey Moss Inn has the greatest atmosphere. This was the second night out of eating escargot and lobster tails. I put Jerry on the plane back to Minnesota this afternoon and headed right to the gym for a long session on the elliptical machine just to work off all the food I ate for six days!!!
While visiting Las Gallinas the other day this gray ghost' male Northern Harrier seemed to appear out of nowhere flying in front of me and a contact Judy (maplez) that I met for the first time.
Deacon barked in the way that says something interesting is outside. I ran to the window to see seven or eight gray partridge moving through and eating. By the time I grabbed the camera they were heading to my neighbors yard. No really good shots, but I'm glad I was able to get a quick catch.

north of kalispell, MT
the grays were at it again this early morning - hunting in the meadow and putting on quite a show. finally got some rain last night, so this guy was pretty wet after a few dives. such an amazing site to witness.
As always, completely wild birds/animals without baiting...
From Wikipedia:
"Grey-headed swamphen (Porphyrio poliocephalus) is a species of swamphen occurring from the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent to southern China and northern Thailand. It used to be considered a subspecies of the purple swamphen, but was elevated to full species status in 2015; today the purple swamphen is considered a superspecies and each of its six races are designated full species.
The male has an elaborate courtship display, holding water weeds in his bill and bowing to the female with loud chuckles.
The grey-headed swamphen was introduced to North America in the late 1990s due to avicultural escapes in the Pembroke Pines, Florida area. State wildlife biologists attempted to eradicate the birds, but they have multiplied and can now be found in many areas of southern Florida. Ornithological authorities consider it likely that the swamphen will become an established part of Florida's avifauna. It was added to the American Birding Association checklist in February 2013."
