I don’t have many pictures of birds, but here’s a red-shoulder hawk #birds

2023. Red shoulder hawk perched on branches. I need a camera for birds! Almost all bird photos I take are blurred, and yet other people send me their amazing photos of clear, high definition, close up birds. I have close up bee pictures, but those are not birds.

I love this photo of a male ocellated turkey (Meleagris ocellata) by Charles J. Sharp because it looks like it's mid-ballet. The 'danseur noble' takes the stage. 'Ocellated' is from Latin 'ocellus' meaning "little eye", referring to the eye-like spots on the tail feathers... (📷: Charles J. Sharp)

A male ocellated turkey appears to dance among the fallen leaves of well-cleared forest. It has a light blue head, with lumpy yellow 'eyebrows', iridescent and many-colored tail similar to a peacock's, and dark body feathers lined with yellow-gold coloration, which gives them a gilded look.
