Earlier today, a happy chirp mixed with the demonic sounds of begging Starling babies and the goofy squeaks of young Grackles - the baby House Finches have hit feeders. I love this stage when they still have the little tufts. They are full of personality and totally adorable. ❤️ #birds

🚨 🚨 injured hawk alert🚨 🚨

so about a half hour ago I opened the door and found this friend standing on top of the trash bin right beside the door. His wing is injured, and he's weirded out.

I'm trying to get in touch with the relevant experts over here, and I got him some water - meanwhile figured I'd share his pics because some of you will know things.

He's got a BIG head, but otherwise is probably coopers' hawk size?

Great Blue Heron. My heron obsession has a subcategory of obsessions- the great blue. And that obsession has its own obsession- great blue herons in flight. I don't think I could ever look at one of these gangly, silly, beautiful, elegant creatures without stopping everything to watch them fly. It's breathtaking every time. #heron #greatblueheron #pond #waterbird #Audubon #nature #bird #naturephotography #birdwatching #birdphotography #birds #birdwatching #birdphotography #oiseaux #oiseau #natur #vogel #wildlife #wildlifephotography

This morning I woke up to the pleasing news that my two entries in 'Australasia's Top Emerging Photographers', a competition for amateurs and early career pros run by Australian publication Capture Magazine, have come second and fourth in the 'Animals' category. Not too shabby!
