This is what a Spotted Sandpiper does when they've had enough of teetering their butt all day long & they think nobody is looking #birds #birding #bird #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #shorebird

Juvie red-tails spent much of the morning playing on updrafts by the chapel. Easy to tell them apart by the belly bands. One seems to have a bit of red on tail feathers #birding #bird #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #raptor
