When I saw today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdOnAWire, I immediately thought of this photo. Upon further inspection, I now see it's a bird on a branch that grew through a wire. At least it still fits the alt theme of #T! #TuftedTitmouse #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
A Tufted Titmouse sits on a small branch in right-side profile. there is a tall, thick cable standing vertically to the right of the bird that the small brand is growing through.

Despite it being low tide, these #EiderDucks were contending with some rough rough surf near the shore of southern #Maine last August as they are gently lit by the glow of #morning sunlight shortly after dawn. #BirdOfTheDay #BlueSkyArtShow #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
Three  eider ducks sit on the rocks near the shore at low tide shortly after dawn. They are looking toward the left of the frame mostly in silhouette with their chests lit up in a warm glow of the low-angle morning sun. The surf behind the rocks is rough and splashes up, threatening to submerge the rock they sit on.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EFGH, birds who have any of these letters at the beginning of their name. Here's the #RedTailedHawk who was in the tree above the local groundhog's burrow. (No groundhogs were harmed in the making of this image!) #bird #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
A Red Tailed Hawk sits on a tree branch amongst many other branches. It's body faces forward as its face is angled toward the front right of the frame. There is sparse new spring vegetation emerging on the tree and the sky in the background is a clear blue.A Red Tailed Hawk has just taken flight from the  tree branch it was perched on.

#BirdOfTheDay is #Petals&Perches, any bird with flowers in the capture. The flowers here went to seed in autumn & don't have new growth yet. I've been waiting for a shot like this for a long time to no avail, and the birds were finally bopping around the cattails yesterday! #bird #nature #wildlife
A female Red Winged Blackbird n early spring.sits perched on top of of a cattail that had gone to seed in the previous season. Her body is angled toward the right of the frame as she glances over her shoulder toward the left.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #FeederFriends birds you might see at your feeder. They do not have to be on a feeder. Here's a #Nuthatch doing it's nuthatch-y thing. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
A White-Breasted Nuthatch perches on the side of a tree trunk, facing toward the left of the frame. It's feet are gripped onto the bark of the trunk while it arches its chest away from the tree. The trunk is covered in moss at the bottom where an early-morning sunbeam is hitting it.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LongNecks, here is a #Heron I saw last weekend, with its neck extended up as high as it could reach, to lean in and preen its chest feathers. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #NIkon
A heron stands on a felled log in a lake with scruffy vegetation in the background. The sun is coming in at a low angle from the right of the frame. The heron is near the left of the log with its body angled toward the right. It has it's neck extended up and its head and bill are slightly angled downward in the moment before it leans it in preen its chest feathers. The chest feathers are splayed out in all directions.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LargeBirdsInFlight is very timely. Yesterday evening I was outside with the cat when 3 large birds of prey started circling directly overhead looking for dinner. Thankfully they weren't too interested in what they saw below! #birds #nature #wildlife #nikon #photography
A hawk glides through the air against an overcast sky, it's wings spread out wide, tail pointed toward the top left of the frame and beak toward the bottom right.

I'm doing a #SkunkySaturday for something different today. These two #skunks were from a family that was living near my house in 2024. They usually emerged around dusk to forage, and thankfully they didn't notice me open the window poke the camera out! #mammals #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
A pair of skunks with large white stripes on their backs emerge from behind some green and yellow vegetation on the left of the frame, with their noses to the ground as they forage for food. They are near the center of the frame, with their noses nearing the right edge of the frame.

I don't normally photograph birds at #Feeders, but there were a few days in 2024 when I had fun watching the #birds squabble over an extra nice seed mix with nuts and dried fruit. I've shared one before; here are several more from the set. #BirdOfTheDay #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
A green bird feeder sits on a pole in front of green tree branches in spring. There are three sparrows and one mourning dove at the feeder. The dove is sitting on the tray attempting to eat, while two of the sparrows are to its right side trying to shove it out of the way. One of the birds has its wings spread as it trys to land where the dove it sitting. The third sparrow is sitting on the roof of the feeder facing toward the left of the frame.A male Northern Cardinal and a Rose Breasted Grosbeak are flapping their wings in front of a green bird feeder, trying to get the other to move. The cardinal is on the left side of the feeder tray facing right with its wings spread behind it and opening its beak to yell at the Grosbeak. The Grosbeak is on the right side of the feeder with its wings spread forward as it comes in for a landing, looking straight ahead toward the viewer.The right-side profile view of a green bird feeder sitting on top of a pole. There is a red cardinal sitting on the tray glancing down at the seed, while a sparrow flies up to its right side with its wings spread wide as it tries to gain access to the seed.The right-side profile view of a green bird feeder sitting on top of a pole.

A throwback (and look ahead) to warmer days. A Swallowtail Butterfly #Caterpillar crawls along a parsley leaf. #Horizontal #BlueSkyArtShow #insect #nature #wildlife #photography #macro #Nikon
A close-up image of a Swallowtail Butterfly Caterpillar on a parsley leaf. The caterpillar is crawling horizontally along the bottom of the leaf near the bottom of the frame, facing toward the right, and the part of the leaf immediately in front of its face has been eaten away. The rest of the leaf is above the caterpillar, providing shade from the sun.

Four floofed up #MourningDoves high in the bare branches on a #GreyDay, for today's #BirdOfTheDay. I took this photo mostly because I couldn't tell what was staring down at me, but I kind of like their varying expressions and stances. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
Bare branches in winter are high above against an overcast sky. There are four Mourning Doves sitting among the branches, with their faint pink and blueish-grey coloring contrasted with the greenish moss growing on the branches.

Following an extremely unsuccessful venture out with my camera this morning during which I saw one distant squirrel and heard a single distant crow without any other animals to be found, here is a #Heron #StandingInWater from January for #BirdOfTheDay. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #nikon
A Great Blue Heron stands in the water on the left side of the frame in right-side profile. There are some out-of-focus ducks drifting in the background in front of the out-of-season brown march grasses at the edge fo the water.

It's been a long time since I've posted something other than birds. The #chipmunks have started to emerge from their burrows, and athough it's still cold and snowy here, these periodic signs keep me hopeful that #spring is just around the corner. #mammals #nature #wildlife #photography #nikon
A stone retaining wall is in the background of the right and center of the photo, with a pile of snow covering the right side and mid-foreground. There is a chipmunk in between the snow pile and wall near the center-right of the frame beginning to emerge from behind the snow. The chipmunk is facing toward the front-left of the frame as it takes in its surroundings.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BranchBirds, any bird on a branch, the Alt theme is #Robins, any Robin will do. It's hard to resist hitting both themes at once: An #AmericanRobin who was still here in late autumn on a chilly, overcast morning. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography #NIkon
An American Robin sits on the thin branch of a tree in the center-left of the frame, with an abundance of berries up and down the branch. An overcast sky provides the backdrop, and the bird stands proudly on the little branch, facing toward the right of the frame.

A snowy day female #Cardinal giving the camera the slightest bit of side eye. I think she has just enough #Red in her wing to qualify for today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme. #bird #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
A female cardinal sits perched on a tree branch toward the right of the frame. Her body is facing toward the left, but her head if very slightly glancing at the viewer. The sky behind is grey with snow clouds, and piles of snow are on the branches under her perch.

A large murder of #crows flocked into my neighborhood a few days ago. They hung around for a while, but then this one was one of the last to leave after the rest had flown off. This is the moment of takeoff, with #OpenWings. #BirdOfTheDay #bird #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon
There are bare tree branches at the top of a tree entering the frame from the left and stopping around the center-right of the frame. A crow is just above the right-most branches with its wings spread wide and beak angled slightly down toward the right, as it takes flight from the tree.
