Four portraits from the weekend. Sometimes the quiet close-ups say the most. Which one would you hang on your wall? #birdphotography #birdportraits #pabirds #OctoberBigDay #birds @team_eBird

Fearless in a thorny world! Chickadees decode danger by ear — the more “dee”s at the end of their call, the bigger the threat they’re warning about. This one was too busy working the goldenrod seed heads to sound any alarm though. BCCH#20. @team_eBird #OctoberBigDay ##birds #sonyphotogallery

No white head just yet - that comes at four or five. A juvenile Bald Eagle’s first-year flight feathers are actually longer than an adult’s, giving it a broader wingspan while it’s still learning the trade. When did you see your first bald eagle? #baldeagle #raptor #birds #sonyphotography

Halfway to Argentina! This American Golden-Plover (Pluvialis dominica) is on one of the longest migrations of any bird on Earth — from the Arctic tundra to the grasslands of southern South America. This Presque Isle State Park beach is a refueling stop. What migration journey blows your mind? #birds

Eight daggers, spring-loaded! A Red-tailed Hawk’s talons close with around 200 pounds of pressure per square inch, and a tendon-locking mechanism in their foot keeps them clamped. RTHA#4. Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). Crawford County, Pennsylvania #redtailedhawk #birdphotography #birds

There’s a bird out there who treats fall like a full-time job. Blue Jays cache thousands of acorns every fall — sometimes over 5,000 in a season. They are planting forests they’ll never see! Greendale Cemetery, Meadville, PA #birdphotography #pabirds #meadville #sonyphotography
