Early winter arrived with authority late last week and will be here until early April. I saw another eagle walking along the riverbank, losing some of its majesty while strolling on foot. Two nights ago, when we arrived home after dark, we heard elk galloping out of the field near our house, and last night, one bugled for awhile, calling into the night, lonely perhaps and looking for love.
It's ao interesting, & amazing how migration changes the area in which we live. I so admire how you get out to experience this every day you can, & then share with your followers. Thank you, Cheryl Hanson.
So beautiful as always! Outside there are the insistent calls of the Magpie chicks to be fed. They are territorial birds, so not many other species get a look in on the lawns where the Magpies gather. The Kookaburras in the magestic gum trees down by the river, always bring a smile to my face as their call sounds like "laughter" Early summer is a hive of activitiy.
That bluejay in flight with his prize! And the robin doing a yoga pose to reach a berry! And that Carolina wren singing! I agree with your uncle, every post is a joy. Many thanks!
The movement of the mist on that sunrise video is made for wordlessly focusing the mind. Love it ....and the robin giving lessons on how to pick berries! 🤗
Beautiful! In Maine in winter, the chickadees are pretty much the only remaining singers...We look forward to the Barred Owl calls at night, and soon there will be drums from the Ruffed Grouse, too.
Really enjoyed the series of photos. That Blue Jays photo is excellent! Male Common Goldeneyes are fun to watch - that head dip they do always makes me smile.
That robin eating upside down is adorable! I wish I could capture birds like you. Maybe I need to take my longer lens to the park and hang out. It never seems long enough.
Another excellent tutorial on your feathered friends. So interesting! (Loved your "loony" friends giving you a shout-out when you were otherwise occupied. :-)
Mild-ish late fall gloom here. It sounds like dampened stillness. The images are sharp and crisp and the neighborhood is quiet as we walked it. Sounds of not so much running water but of some seepiness of sodden ground.

Thank you for this! I love it. I do love "losing some of its majesty while strolling on foot" - so true lol.

Oh that he’d dip is hilarious!

Oh my photos are usually cropped too. But moving slowly and sitting or standing still helps a lot! Also lots of practice.

Dampened stillness seems about right! Thank you for sharing!
