I look forward to this day all year! The bluebirds have brought their fledglings to the mealworm feeder to teach them how to get a quick meal. (Descriptions in ALT.) #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #HoosierMast
An adult male eastern bluebird (left), wings spread, is flying up to where his fledgling is perched, a mealworm in his beak. This is the shepherd's hook that holds the mealworm feeder. We have put mealworms on top of the feeder, so the babies can land next to the food and feed themselves. However, this one has not figured it out yet; it still wants dad to do the work.
The fledgling (right) is assuming the position to be fed and dad is poised to push the mealworms in its gob.
After the fledgling (right) swallowed the mealworms, it assumed the feeding position again, letting dad know that it wanted more worms. Dad obliged... for now.

From a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting outside enjoying the sunset and after the sky colors faded I got out my longer lens & started taking photos of the crescent #moon. As soon as I started snapping I saw some objects flying through the frame - by pure luck it was some high flying #swifts, their crescent shapes a dark mirror of the moon’s.

der balkon allein ist wohl zu langweilig geworden. plötzlich hüpfte herr amsel durch die offene balkontüre ins wohnzimmer und dann vom tisch aufs sofa, hoch aufs kissen, kurz mal ein bild anschauen und dann durchs gekippte fenster wieder nach draussen.
das alles völlig entspannt, als würde er schon seit langer zeit hier wohnen ;))))

#ShowerThoughts while listening to the "Dawn Chorus" of birds—aka modern dinosaurs—including the resident rooster and the myriad other feathered flutes letting rip this morning.

Dawn in the Jurassic period must have been deafening!

Part of a sequence. A Great Blue Heron eating a dead grackle he found. It wasn't easy. Kept falling and re-trying. Took him almost 20 minutes to get it down.

"Oregon gets its first California condor visit in 122 years"

opb.org/article/2026/06/02/ore…

"A California condor flew into Oregon last month, becoming the first free-flying condor documented in the state since 1904.

Condor B9, a little more than two years old, was released into the wild last year by the Yurok Tribe’s condor restoration program. The tribe has been releasing condors since 2022."

#Oregon #Environment #Wildlife #Birds #Yurok #Indigenous

A woman wearing coveralls and gloves (Yurok Wildlife Department Technician Sandra Hahn) has her arms out after releasing a condor. The condor, a large brown bird with a B9 tag on its wing, is flying away from her.

Oregon gets its first California condor visit in 122 years

More than a century after California condors disappeared from Oregon, one birds journey signals progress for the endangered species.

Always amazed at the places birds find to nest.
It took a while to discover this Great Tits chosen location.

#birds #BirdsOfMastodon #nature #wildlife #darktable

A great Tit flying down past the finial on top of a slightly broken garden feature. In the bill is a green caterpillar.
The bird has turned in the air and is facing toward the finial with wings outstretched.
The bird has landed on the top of a square post that supports the finial and is looking down below the broken top of the post.
The Bird is now disappearing into the hole, with tail pointing skyward.

Yesterday in Albania, private security police attacked protesters trying to defend a local nature reserve where Trump and Kushner are planning to build a luxury resort.

The area is a protected zone that is home to endangered species such as the Mediterranean monk seal, as well as 70 other threatened species and 200 bird species that have corridors in the area, such as pink flamingos.

An adult little ringed plover can be seen in an unusual pose. The bird is facing away, but has turned its head to look at the viewer and seems to be blinking an eye. The scene is a stony riverbank, with water in the background and pebbles in the foreground.

In Grasmere, which is always full of tourists thanks to the Wordsworths, there is a famous Victorian gingerbread shop in an old cottage on the corner of the churchyard.

grasmeregingerbread.co.uk/hist…

It is so busy that the queue often extends far into the cemetery where the Wordsworths are interred.

Yesterday, this dapper jackdaw was perched confidently on a gate outside the shop, hoping for crumbs. #Birds

A jqckdaw stands on an iron gate with green foliage and pink flowers behind. He has an imperious look. The jackdaw, as a small species of crow, has a short, chunky bill, a grey 'shawl' around the back of the head, a black cap and a white eye.

History | Grasmere Gingerbread

Grasmere Gingerbread was invented in 1854 by Victorian creator cook Sarah Nelson who mixed and baked her spicy-sweet chewy concoction inside her neat Church Cottage home.

My brother and niece at the top of Ben Nevis today 🙌 He was born in the Shetland Islands, so likes to claim he's Scottish (although having English parents and growing up for the most part in England! 😊) They got to spot a Snow Bunting, so I'm especially jealous! 😁 #snowbunting #birds #scotland
A photo of a middle aged man and his grown-up daughter standing atop the cairn at the summit of Ben Nevis (1,345 m, 4413 ft) on a lovely day in late spring. The sky is a beautiful blue with high-level wispy clouds, and the fool is making her hold up a Scottish Saltire between them 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁

Earlier Tonight

#Birds #Urban #Photography

The silhouette of a stork, seen in profile. Standing elegantly atop its large, circular, nest made of twigs and branches, perched high on a tall purpose-built wooden pole. The sun is positioned directly behind the nest and bird, creating a strong halo effect and a warm, golden-hour sky with soft, scattered clouds near the bottom. The right side and top of the image are framed by the silhouettes of leafy tree branches, adding depth and a border to the composition.

Male Blue Rock Thrush (eastern subspecies, Monticola solitarius philippensis), Asia and the western Pacific. While they like cliffs, hillsides, ravines for nesting, they'll settle for old brick buildings, concrete structures & quarries. #birds #wildlife #biology #nature #photo #ecology
A profile shot of a male Blue Rock Thrush perched atop a light, rugged stone. It has a sharp, dagger-like dark beak and a curious black eye. Its head, back, and upper breast are coated in a vibrant, slate-blue plumage. This cool tone sharply shifts mid-belly to a deep, warm rufous-rust color that extends down to its undertail. Its wings are a darker, dusky charcoal-blue.

A rarely seen bird in our garden: a Baltimore Oriole. He tried to get some syrup, clinging upside down to the hummingbird feeder, with limited success. Don't have an orange in the house 😢.
He looks judgmental!
