Taking 5 … and caught this little tyke out the corner of my eye, twirling round and round . There’s almost a franticness at this time of the year from a happy buzz to a chaotic vibe.

Northern Harrier flyby. #Airborne #BirdOfTheDay 🪶 #ECK

A bird flying low over water, towards the left of the frame. The subject has brown & ivory mottled upperparts, her wings are out and slightly down, the underside of the more distant wing can be seen; it is ivory with dark brown stripes. She has bright yellow eyes, and a facial disc that is somewhat like those of owls.

I'm gonna call this a #BirdStare today as I was so excited to see one of my favorite birds after two years at my local haunt yesterday. Here, we see a blue-gray gnatcatcher giving us some side-eye. #BirdoftheDay #Birds #Nature #Photography

Perched on a vertical brown twig is a beautiful little gnatcatcher. S/he is a light gray in the front, and a bluish dark gray on the cap and back and wings. S/he has a small round black eye with a subtle white eye ring, and a short pointed black beak. The background is a blurry mix of green and brown shrubbery. The morning sun casts a couple twig shadows across the light-colored bird.
