On Sunday, I desperately had to get out of the house. I am still recovering from surgery, and very tired. I get physically worn out and sore just standing or sitting too long. But it’s so beautiful outside! I asked my SO if he’d give a ride to the nature park so I could shuffle about a bit and sit on the benches, just to enjoy the fall weather. I was lucky enough to see, along with many other birds, a Cooper’s Hawk and this Barred Owl, which I got many photos of, until my camera ran out of batteries.
Then I watched as it swooped down, inches from my head, pounced and caught a garter snake, flew with it into a tree right above me, and killed and ate it. Too bad I hadn’t charged my camera battery before going. -_- I did get photos of that with my cell phone, at least.
(I’ll come back here soon, when I’ve got the energy.)

For waterfowlwednesday here are a couple shots of my local group of wood ducks. Taken 9/12/21.
While myself and many other bird watchers from around New York State have been enjoying the visiting Swallow tailed kite. Not everyone has been enthused by its appearance, this harassing accipter (either coopers or sharp shinned hawk but I’m leaning towards coopers) is attempting to let the kite know it isn’t welcome in its territory. Taken 9/6/21.
Sometimes you just have to adjust your grip. A green heron repositioning a fish it caught. Taken yesterday morning.
Got to see my first ever swallow tailed kite a couple days ago! The best part? It was only an hour drive away here in upstate New York! I’m hoping to visit it again today, if it is still in the area this would be the 20th day sighted. Taken 8/31/21.
For throw back Thursday here is an image of a mute swan pair I photographed back in early March of this year. I’m a bit of a file hoarder when it comes to my images. I will usually save things that are sharp and have room for me to play with their composition thinking to myself “I will find a use for this at some point”. On days where I don’t get out and shoot or have more recent images to process I will often go back and think “How did I miss this during processing?!” Taken 3/9/21. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/mute-swan-couple-henry-wagner.html
A long tailed duck drake giving me a curious glance. From all the way back in March, somehow it didn’t manage to make its way on to here so now it is. Taken 3/9/21.
Do not forget the bird or it will not sing.
This French Victorian brooch in silver and gold is more than just the depiction of a pheasant; it’s a true object d'art. A blister pearl as its body is swaddled with meticulously crafted silver feathers encrusted with 61 rose cut diamonds. In yellow gold, this stunning wild bird has been given a beak, claws, and a crest with four natural rubies. What a magnificent world would you see through its ruby eye?
