This aggressive male mute swan had just chased off a pair of swans that I was photographing from his side of the estuary (with lots of noise and commotion that was not at all “mute”). He then turned his attention to me. 😳 #BirdOfTheDay #Staredown #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

A corvid not quite sure how to deal with gusty wind conditions so takes to walking instead of flying. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsOnTheGround #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Heron — so here’s my take! Now, can you spot the Grey Heron? 🤣🪶 朝日なんですが金曜ロードショーの初代オープニングを連想してしまいますね（年齢）😅 #nature #photography #wildlife #GreyHeron #アオサギ #birds #野鳥

A silhouette of a Grey Heron standing on a small patch of land in a golden, reflective wetland at sunrise. The rising sun is bright on the left side, casting strong reflections across the water.

A pair of pied-billed grebes in a very painterly looking pond. I liked the contrasting colors from the ripples on the water as reflected light alternates from late afternoon sun to shade from the trees. #Twosday #birds #wildlife #nature #photography

A large red-tailed hawk sitting on a low, head-height branch. This was after sunset so the lighting was pretty horrible. The hawk tolerated my presence for quite a while before deciding another tree might be more productive. #birds #raptors #nature #wildlife #photography

Snowy egret from an odd angle. It didn’t offer me anything better so I’ll take it. Also captured its half closed third eyelid (nictitating membrane). #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

Same green heron as I posted earlier, but with the sun at an even more extreme angle. Still, I liked the result with the sharp edges of the bird in contrast with the softer bokeh of the specular reflections. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

First time seeing a corvid actively fishing. Didn’t capture the moment on the water but here’s the getaway with a nice looking bluegill dinner. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

When someone unexpectedly jumps into your favorite fishing spot — a great blue heron looks over with mild annoyance at a green heron that arrived out of nowhere. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography
