Been trying to get a decent photo of a rough-legged buzzard. I’ve had a couple of close encounters. But somehow my camera settings have always been completely off. Took a couple of photos last week when one passed me. Was convinced that all of them would be […] [Original post on front-end.social]

A flying buzzard seen from the side, it’s head is a tilted a tiny bit as if it’s glancing at the camera, the beak is chubby, fairly small and light yellow, the wing is lifted showing off a brown spotted inside, a broad white streak and then the dark border of the wing, the base of the tail is light but the tail is dark, the sky behind is a very bright blue.

Boatmobile found 5 dark ibises late yesterday. By the time I got there they had retreated deep into the wetlands and out of view. This morning I looked at the map and decided to be at the Usual Patch by daybreak. Turned out I didn't have to worry about them […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I'm pretty sure this one is a White-faced Ibis. They are hard to ID even on a good day! All ibises are vagrant in our region. White and Glossy flyovers are not unheard of, but White-faced may be a first! This one has red eyes and a small red patch near the base of the bill. Huntley Meadows Park, Hybla Valley, VA

This one is definitely a White-faced Ibis, and not a juvenile. The red under the wing and red legs are apparent, as is the red eye. It is a vagrant bird! Is this the same bird as the other? That I'm not sure. Huntley Meadows Park, Hybla Valley, VA

All the Indigo Buntings we saw yesterday were merely uncommon, but today they are rare, requiring eBird comments. As usual, I got a blurry photo when one popped up long enough for me to question my bird ID skill. They fledged in August and it's been a while […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Aaaaah! After this Hobby was done hunting for dragonflies it perched on this fence, looked at me, and started screeching. #photography #Birds #BirdPhotogaphy #BirdsOfFediverse #wildlife #NaturePhotography

A bird is perched upon a wire fence. It's looking straight at you with its beak wide open. The bird's back has black feathers with brown edges. The other feathers are light brown with dark brown patches. Its eyes are black and set into a black patch on into its brown face.
