Javan Whistling-Thrush 1/2 Seen backlit these can look rather blackish and dull, but when seen well the colour shines and a wonderful deep blue is revealed. Only found in montane forests of Java and Bali. Java, Sept 26 #birds #birding #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #birdsseenin2026

I had never witnessed this before - a fledgling cardinal being fed by a parent under my lilac bushes a few days ago I didn't even know there was a nest nearby. It must be well camouflaged #birds #cardinals #Wisconsin #wildlife #nature

Hummingbirds’ heart beats up 1260 times a minute when flying, and drops to 40-50 per minute during cold winter nights to save energy. Here are some of my favorite captures with my camera. #bird #birding #hummingbird #birdphotography

An Anna’s hummingbird with wings spread in the middle of the sky, his beak slightly open, trying to catch little insects flying near.

An Anna’s hummingbird with a full face of black feathers, a very green back, and a mix of green and white feathers in the chest, sits on top of a branch with a single wilting leaf that resembles a large feather.

An Anna’s Hummingbird puffed up so it looks a bit chubby, sits on top of a branch and looking ahead. It has black feathers on its face and glittery green feathers on its back and chest, and white and gray feathers underneath the top feathers.

We were out for a walk this morning, and I took a couple shots of this single yellow flower sticking up in the field, and then my shot was photobombed by this ruby-throated hummingbird! #hummingbird #naturephotography #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #flowerphotography #photography

Several dead flowers on stems splitting from a single stem at the bottom of the frame. At the top a single yellow flower with narrow petals. A hummingbird hovering in front of the flower, probing the flower with its long, narrow beak. It's tail, back, and head have green feathers, but the belly and throat are white. The wings are blurry from motion, but extending back behind the bird. The background is very blurry, with a mixture of darker green, lighter green, and yellow or white.

True, lasting change requires more than moral outrage. It requires organization and unshakable persistence. Most importantly, it requires love.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

A tall, elegant bird with a long, pointed bill stands among lush green foliage. Its pale blue head feathers drape down its neck like streamers, and its chest displays a striking pattern of fine, dark lines over a white base.

But this Tree Swallow, man. Just a glorious moment in the sun on an otherwise super cloudy day. And so much closer than I've ever been before! #birds 🧵

Photo of the same Tree Swallow as it turns and takes off, wings spread nearly vertically so all the black primary and secondary feathers are visible in contrast with the iridescent blue of the rest of the bird.

The answer is YES but I also have a job, which is just silly, when I have so many bird photos to edit and share! But I will try to get some in a thread over the next few days, because it was a fabulous weekend for #birds. 🧵

Photo of a Tree Swallow perched on a jagged piece of dried wood against a mottled shadow background, iridescent blue head, back, and shoulders absolutely gleaming in the sun as it looks left while facing away and flashes a bright white throat.

The first thing I noticed was how fast this swallow flew. When it landed, I noticed the white cheeks and green back. I was thrilled to realize that it was a Violet-green Swallow. They are stunning! #birds #photography #birdphotography #birding
