It’s been a dreary rainy day where I live so I thought a nice splash of colour would help brighten things up a bit 🤓🌞

She was definitely letting me know she wasn’t happy. 🤣 This morning instead of putting out live mealworms, I put dried mealworms out instead. She was digging through them, tossing them all over looking for the live ones. 🪶 🌿 #birds #nature #wildlife #birdphotography #Bluebirds #canon #canonR5
They are getting ready to leave my area to head north so this was one of the last opportunities to try and get photos of them with the longer daylight.
I always miss them when they leave and look forward to their return. I always have multiple feeders up for them!!!
Yes, not expecting these guys will be around much longer before they leave to head north to wherever they go. Time to get ready for the ruby throated hummingbirds 🤓👍 which are some of my favourite birds.
Short eared owls: These guys are so hard to photograph. These are heavily cropped. 🪶 🌿 #birds #nature #wildlife #birding #birdphotography #owls #ornithology #birdphotography #canon #canonR5

Short eared owls: These guys are so hard to photograph. They come out at dusk and are quite a distance away it's difficult to see and photograph them. 🪶 🌿 #birds #nature #wildlife #birding #birdphotography #owls #ornithology #birdphotography #canon #canonR5

One reported critical at Shock Trauma. Sadly I feel this will become a recovery effort. 😞😢
Yes these owls were way off in the distance. I had to heavily crop these images. These were at dusk, and it was getting cold with the wind blowing across the open area.
Several have been rescued, one who had no injuries. A devastating tragedy
Devastating tragedy 😢 #tragedy
A few more of the owls. The one really had to 💩💩 🪶🌿 #birds #nature #wildlife #birding

A series of one of the pair of red shouldered hawks that are nesting in our backyard as it took off from one branch, landed on another then took off again and landed on another branch far off in the woods. 🪶🌿 #birds #nature #wildlife #birding #birdphotography #ornithology #birdphotography #canonR5

The lengths I go to for our bluebirds, means hand picking the live mealworms for them to have for breakfast while they are getting fresh in the sycamore tree in front of me , what’s a bit of bluebird porn in the am #birds #nature #wildlife #birding #birdphotography #EasternBluebirds #birdphotography

How do people feel about physicians now not accepting insurance coverage and moving to a concierge care model. If you don’t have the means to afford it, then good luck finding a doctor!!! It’s now taking over 6 months to get in to see a new doctor, if you can find one that’s good!
Insurers still have too much power and the Feds do nothing to rein them in. The insurers hold us all hostage through fear. Many physicians are now not taking insurance coverage and moving to concierge medicine. So we are creating a larger chasm between the have and have nots!
Insurance companies still have too much power and hold us all by our throats, the ACA was a HUGE step forward. All those who complain about it on the left and right have zero idea how much better it is than before the ACA. We need to break the hold the insurers have, so much left to be done.
Now THIS is my kind of bike racing!! We all need to have more fun like this!!

Through wildlife cams, scientists have their eyes on a mating pair of red-tailed hawks. The female, who is called Angel, has a rare condition and is believed to be surviving thanks to the help of her ...

Just a couple of other fountain pens I own. I really like the way both of these write. The Waterman is the smoother of the two.

I wonder how these insurrectionists are loving their jail sentences all the while the biggest insurrectionist of all is laughing at the system as he gets away with it all.

I got the EF nib. Have always liked fine and extra fine writing nibs. I do have a Waterman with a medium nib which is nice. The Lamy is smoooooth … 🤓👍
