Crow fledgling exploring the world on June 30th. Parents above went mildly berserk when it moved too close to me, literally tearing off twigs and stomping on branches. They calmed down when their blue-eyed one hopped to a sheltered garden spot. #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #corvidae #BlueSkyEye #CheatCode

Crow fledgling on a garden trellis surrounded by food plants. Ragged new feathers and baby blue right eye visible as it takes in its surroundings.

Frantic crow couple hollering left and right in a cedar tree, protesting their fledgling's impertinent hops towards your humble photographer, who was seated on a chair and posing no threat. They know me well as a friendly supplier of tasty snacks, so their furious posturing was primarily directed at their youngster, because humans are best avoided.

Pied-billed grebe coasting down toward photo centre atop murky green waters, belting out a lusty rendition of [pick your favourite aria from a Wagner opera], with a backdrop of reflected haunted stumps.

The Ladies of Anatidae. Mallard skiing in the landing from high-speed flight, wigeon leisurely pursuing a grainy handout. #birds #BirdOfTheDay #nature #feathers #kindness #photography #Canon #athletes #evolution

Female mallard water-skiing to photo right, wings extended, green trees and herself reflected in the lightly rippled water.

Tight shot of baby-blue-billed female wigeon following her ripples down to photo left.

Probably fewer than 1% of voters would be in favour of intentionally reducing their standard of living to at least slow the arrival of catastrophic consequences. There's no quaint Oliver Twist in the room, just GIVE ME MORE, OR ELSE! So, like you, I take solace in feeding the innocent. 3 pals:

$A present for the professor: 3 ducks swim towards photo left: female mallard, male just below and trailing by a half-duck, with a female wood duck below and behind them. The water sports ornately fractalized tree reflections in shades of grey and and brown.$

My Mallard buddy leading her 'lings across the pond to hang out with a man she knows to be trustworthy, so she could nosh on the grass in peace. Mallard bro also attended 💞 #LockedOn #Birds #Peace #Love #Cute #babies #Photography #duck #grounding #relationships #trust #art #cluster #mother #kids

A multitude of fluffy ducklings are locked on to their mom's rear while she plows blue waves through waters reflecting the variably green trees in the unseen background. A haggard year-old cattail points up just right of the best duck-mom a duckling could ask for.

The multitude of dappled fuzzy brown and yellow ducklings cluster tightly near mom, who pecks away beneath the thick grasses at food they do not yet understand.

The one 'with' the cigar has a distinctly Dr Strangelovian aspect. Happy Mother's Day, John, and thanks for keeping this day-walker relatively sane while his own mother slowly nears her end of life, and the gleefully vile push everyone else on the planet in that same general direction.

While lining up a shot of a heron, I glanced to my left and was astonished that this Cooper's had landed on the fence not 10 ft away! It lingered long enough for several photos, and then flew up into a tree for a better view of potential prey. #BirdOfTheDay #raptors #chance #deadly #avian #dinosaur

Young Cooper's hawk looking straight ahead to photo left. Subject is perched atop a lichened rustic fence rail between two posts.

Zoom in on scaly yellow feet and shiny black talons clutching the crude fence rail, with armored lower legs, black-streaked white belly, and left lower wing feathers above and to photo right.

Male hooded merganser with half-ingested goldfish, a situation that persisted for several minutes. It looked about as pleasant as eating a raw oyster, shell and all. Second photo shows him heading for a stump in the water to rest on, with some tail still protruding. #BirdOfTheDay #ComeEatWithMe

Murky pond with male merganser facing left, head tilted back with half of a goldfish protruding from his open beak.

Slightly motion-blurred closeup of merganser facing other direction, throat distended, with a section of fish tail projecting out and above his closed beak.

Great Blue Heron ~15 metres up a tree at Newton Pond Park, Surrey BC. Spots another heron and begins to unfurl its flight surfaces... Seen from below, the face is, um, 'alternatively beautiful'. #BirdOfTheDay #heron #photography #nature #predator #primeval #birds #peace #LongNecked #horror

Heron, looking to photo left to display its dagger beak to best effect, standing atop a horizontal branch in a budding tree against a blue sky backdrop.

Our heron begins to unfurl its wings, now looking forward, which shows its unsettling one-higher-than-the-other yellow eyes and long grey neck feathers.

I had the incredibly good fortune to be a teenager reading in a city bus when I flipped the page to Vonnegut's self-effacing take on the art I could expect to see within his novel, starting with that butt-star, and, to avoid public scrutiny, suffered the laughter equivalent of a ruined orgasm.

Wood duck youngsters basking sleepily in the morning sun despite the proximity of an alien creature, namely a red-eared slider turtle. #nature #photography #peace #birds #turtle #BirdOfTheDay #DuckOutOfWater

Wood ducklings snoozing atop a slightly mossy log, against a backdrop of brilliant green reeds. A non-snoozing duckling at left has noticed the photographer, and gazes calmly in his direction.

A monster from the depths shares the log with the ducklings, bright yellow stripes and red ear-patch held well away from its shell.

They suddenly vanished, as if Raptured, weapons and clothes falling to the roof. A penetrating reek of hot black pepper filled their nostrils; immense, searing peppercorns sank into their flesh. Lips tore, teeth broke, pepper poured down their throats. Theirs to enjoy, forever. A reverse Rapture.

Semi-vaguely on topic, my wife cranks MST3K (which I call 'mistake' to trigger her) while she's crafting pine needle baskets, etc. On our nature walks, after I've chicka-dee-dee-dee'd and cawed a few too many times, I sometimes rue 'If I could STOP talking to the animals...' but, we're buds, eh?!

Crows on rustic wooden fence-posts, stretching out to upper photo right, glossy black beauties pecking sunflower seed booty.
