Blue vs Red. These two colors do not mix and cannot possibly fit on the feeder at the same time. Strict Jay enforcement pushed the reds off. #Birds 🪶 #Wildlife #Nature 🌲 #Photography 📷

On the lower left green plastic perch, a male northern cardinal is positioned facing right. It features vibrant orange-red plumage, a distinctive black face mask around its heavy, cone-shaped orange beak, and a long tail extending downward. Perched higher up on the right side of the feeder is a male house finch, seen from the back and side, showing its streaked brown wings and a reddish-orange head. A hint of green foliage is visible in the lower left corner.

The "finch" are supersized as well. 'Everything is bigger in Texas'? #Birds 🪶 #Wildlife #Nature 🌲 #Photography 📷

In the image, two birds are perched on opposite sides of a clear cylindrical tube bird feeder filled with mixed seeds, primarily black oil sunflower seeds. On the left, a larger white-winged dove stands facing right, showcasing its tan plumage, a distinct white stripe along its folded wing, bright pink feet, and striking blue skin around its eye. On the right, a much smaller male house finch with a vibrant red-orange head and chest faces left toward the feeder. The feeder has green plastic perches and a green base. The background is a softly blurred, neutral grey wooden fence with a hint of green leaves in the bottom left corner.

The purple-collared VIP preferred the hover-and-gulp method, while the ruby-throated regular actually used the "sit-down" service. Two divas, one feeder, zero interest in sharing the spotlight. Same time tomorrow, fellas? 🐦✨ #BirdDrama #Birds 🪶 #Wildlife #Nature 🌲 #Photography 📷 #Hummingbirds

This image captures a vibrant, high-motion moment of a hummingbird approaching a feeder. Here is a breakdown of the scene:

The Hummingbird
The focal point is a Black-chinned Hummingbird in mid-flight. Its most striking feature is the iridescent purple band (gorget) across its throat, which sits just below its velvet-black head. The rest of its body shows soft grey and olive-green plumage. Its wings are a rhythmic blur, conveying the incredible speed of its flight as it maneuvers toward the feeder.

This photo shows a different species of hummingbird using the same feeder, providing a much clearer, more static view of the bird's details compared to the first image.

The Hummingbird
This is a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Unlike the first bird, this one is perched calmly on the black metal ring.

The Gorget: Its throat features a brilliant, metallic red-orange patch that transitions into a crisp white breast.

Plumage: It has vibrant emerald green feathers on its crown and back.

The Beak: You can see its long, slender bill clearly, with a tiny drop of nectar or water visible at the very tip.

Caught in 4K! A Gray Fox gives the photographer the stink eye while plotting a heist at the neighborhood bird feeder. She wants the good seeds. "Excuse me, do you have any more sunflower seeds?" #WildlifePhotography #Nature 🌲 #Photography 📷

The image shows a Gray Fox in a grassy area in Texas. The fox is walking near the base of a bird feeder (indicated by the black pole on the left), likely searching for dropped seeds. It has a speckled gray coat with tan coloring on its legs and tail tip, and it is looking intently in the direction of the photographer.
The Gray Fox is known for its gray back with reddish-tan sides and a tail with a black tip, all of which are visible here. It also has distinctively large ears and a slightly shorter snout than a coyote.

A male House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) nestled in a lush green lawn. #Birds 🪶 #Wildlife #Nature 🌲 #Photography 📷 From robcrank68 : > Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is DucksOutOfWater, any Duck that is out of the water but NOT FLYING. The Alt Theme is #Finches, any Finch will do.

Key details:
* The Bird: The finch is the central focus, looking directly toward the camera. It features a vibrant red plumage on its forehead, throat, and breast, which contrasts with its brownish, streaked back and wings.
* The Setting: It is perched among blades of green grass interspersed with tiny yellow wildflowers (likely Oxalis or a similar ground cover).
* Photography: The photo has a shallow depth of field, with the grass in the immediate foreground and background softly blurred, making the bird stand out sharply.

This was captured with a 100-400mm lens with a 2x teleconverter, effectively at 800mm (1600mm equivalent). The shot was taken at a distance of about 8.8 meters (29 feet).
