    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
    “Hey, you, get off of my cactus” Pyrrhuloxia and Cardinal battle for access to the bark butter! Laguna Seca Ranch, Bulldog Blind, South Texas; January 2023 [Canon EOS R5 with Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM at 500mm; f/7.1 at 1/3200 second; ISO 1600; fill-flash with MagMod fresnel lens flash extender] #pyrrhuloxia #birdbattle #birdfight #northerncardinal #cardinal #texasbirds #texasbirding #lagunaseca #lagunasecaranch #texaswildlife #sparkystensaas #thephotonaturalist #sparkyphotos
    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. Laguna Seca Ranch, Texas; January 2023 [Canon EOS R5 with Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM at 324mm; f/5.6at 1/1600 second; ISO 1600] #harrisshawk #raptorsofinstagram #texasbirds #texasbirding #raptorsinflight #hawksinflight #lagunaseca #lagunasecaranch #texaswildlife #sparkystensaas #thephotonaturalist #sparkyphotos
