@christi3k Lovely iridescence on the Tree Swallow!

Caveat: People with much greater duck knowledge than me argue about the species lineage of this duck. May be a hybrid of some other domestic breed, or maybe it's just a melanistic mallard. #ornithology puzzles. I'm just a photographer who found it to be an interesting subject.

We were talking about flickers drumming on noisy things yesterday, and I thought I'd unearth this twenty-two-year-old photo of my particular percussionist. #birds #BirdPhotography

Imagine the drama of an osprey hitting the water, deadly talons seizing a terrified fish, water splashing everywhere. Well, you will just have to image most of that because this is a #FridayPhotoFail post! Just as this scene was unfolding some unwanted brush blocked my shot. #birds #photography #birdphotography #naturephotography

Yesterday we had T-shirt weather, highs in the mid-80s F. Today, sleet, hail, and snow. But I finally got a long-sought picture of a male northern cardinal in the snow! Clifton, Virginia, USA 12-MAR-2026 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

@alexf24 great posture he has

Red-headed woodpeckers are among the least common types of woodpeckers in my area. Beautiful bold colors, but they are quick and hard to capture in flight. Finally succeeded yesterday! Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA. 9MAR2026. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

A good before-and-after #osprey dive-catch sequence. The actual moment of the catch was obscured by foreground shrubbery, but I was still very happy to get these. 9MAR2026 Huntley Meadows Park, Alexandria, Virginia, USA #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography
