Some shots of a few Band-tailed Pigeons from the Skagit Wildlife Area! I had never seen these before, they looked like footballs in the trees from far away. #birds #exploring #birding #nature #photography

GBH hunting in the rocks at low tide. I kept hoping it would come out w something big in its beak, but it was either coming up empty or getting tiny bites. 📍Edmonds Waterfront #birds

I swear I saw one of these Purple Martin toss the tree swallow that is sitting on the railing right out of that nest box. I thought it maybe was testing its young at first, but I am fairly confident in my IDs on the two. 🪶 Please correct me if I’m wrong, it was interesting to see regardless.

Is this just a mallard? Colors look different to me but could just be the lighting. Merlin didn’t have a confident choice. #birds 🪶

Brown Creeper! This was my first time getting these little guys on camera (I have heard them several times). I have never seen a bird that moves like this. Also from Seward Park in Seattle. #birds #pnw #lakewashington

This is from back in October, in Mount Vernon, WA. This is by far the most geese I’ve seen flying at one time. #birds #washington #geese #migration

I stand (happily) corrected! Going through footage, there was an Eurasian Wigeon mixed into the flock of American Wigeon. I don’t know how I didn’t notice that cinnamon head in the moment. #birds
