    Cool, this is the type of shot I’m always going for. I’m still trying to get close to an owl in my area. Hopefully I’ll be able to get one as nice as this :o)

    Spring break? Minus-40 wind chill… I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere! No beaches, no bikinis no beer or bars anywhere in sight :-) Key West, Minnesota, January 2023 (birding NW MN ….video coming soon) #keywestmn #springbreakminnesota #sparkystensaas
    Always worth the walk to the end of Gray Jay Way in Sax-Zim Bog! Stay long enough and something interesting will show up...Boreal Chickadee? Canada Jay? Ermine? But yesterday this SNOWSHOE HARE stole the show. The only sunflower-seed-eating hare I know :) [Canon EOS R5

    Hard place to make a living? Not for the Crested Caracara, who eat almost anything, dead or alive…snakes, birds, mammals, insects, carrion, chicken skins. Laguna Seca Ranch, Texas; January 2023 [Canon EOS R5 with Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM at 500mm; f/7.1 at 1/1600 second; ISO 1600; desaturated in Lightroom] #crestedcaracara #raptorsoftexas #edinburgtx #texasbirds #texasbirding #lagunaseca #lagunasecaranch #texaswildlife #sparkystensaas #thephotonaturalist #sparkyphotos
    Smart, sassy and stunning…the Green Jay of Central and South America just makes it into south Texas. I am not usually a close-up-bird-portrait guy, but buttery background, and some fill-flash made the shot for me…and who can resist those “eyelashes”?! Laguna Seca Ranch, south Texas; January 2023 [Canon EOS R5 with Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM at 500mm; f/7.1 at 1/200 second; ISO 200; fill-flash with MagMod fresnel lens flash extender] #greenjay #texasbirds #texasbirding #lagunaseca #lagunasecaranch #texaswildlife #sparkystensaas #thephotonaturalist #sparkyphotos
    You got this buddy. Harris’s Hawk with landing gear down.
