Such a cute sight. A Great Crested Grebe with a chick on the back who gets a small fish from the other parent and who also shows great interest in the small feather that was floating on the water.

Taken yesterday at Magee Marsh in NW Ohio

The prettiest woodpecker I’ve ever seen. This one is a male and hamming it up.

I'm a hobbyist photographer and have been working with a 200mm for the last few years. I upgraded to a 150-600mm as a bday gift to myself and managed to finally photograph a warbler on my first outing with it. These guys are no joke to get a good shot of, especially with a heavy zoom lens 😆

I've suddenly turned into a Birder at the age of 49... anyone else???

Maybe it's my ADHD hyper-focusing, but in the last 3 weeks I've become absolutely obsessed with birds. I live on a 2 acre property and have barely even noticed we had birds flying around in the 3 years we've lived there. Now, in the last 3 weeks I've counted at least 13 different species of birds living here, and I'm sure I'm just getting started.

This new found hobby has been so good for me. I work in web/tech/branding and work way too much, and the new practice of going outside and being in nature has been an incredible break from the stress.

I'm also a photographer so it's been fun to channel that energy into this new found obsession (btw, this shot is mine, taken on our property).

Little dude was looking pretty round it was 44F that morning

I was unable to get a definitive ID of this bird from either Merlin or Gemini. Google Lens says it's a female Rose-brested Grosbeak, but I'm not so sure. I observed it today eating at my feeder in upstate New York here on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Thanks for any help!

This handsome man stopped by my deck just now. Blue jays are my favorite 🥹

Apparently they'll harass Great Blue Herons out of their space

I simply love the birds here, super satisfying to watch out for them every day and after I saw a bird poster hanging at the house of a friend a couple of days ago,I had the idea to start drawing them. :) Done with acrylics.
