Looking Out on the realm

Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) are highly territorial. This one perches atop a small pine tree, surveying the landscape below, likely on the lookout for prey.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"This image showcases the northern mockingbird perched gracefully atop a pine tree. Its grayish-brown feathers, contrasting with its pale underparts, are beautifully captured. Its signature long tail adds to its elegance, and the bird appears vigilant, gazing towards the right. The clear, serene sky in the background complements the natural setting, emphasizing the bird's distinctive features. The credit "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom corner adds a touch of professionalism to this striking nature shot. It truly embodies the beauty of wildlife photography!" - Copilot

A couple of weeks ago I had a beautiful foggy morning to shoot waterfowl and I am very happy with the way this shot turned out! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Vertical format. The water line is about 1/5 from the top. On the water line is a lone silhouetted duck on the left and facing right. There is a lot of fog on the water and above it is pitch black. Below the duck is more fog blending into a reflection of the trees in the background with the golden glow of sunrise extending to the bottom.

Todays waddle was magic. It started slow and bit colder than expected, but then I spotted
My first bluethroat of the season. And this fellow was in a good singing mood, flying around. I sat down and waited, until he popped up in bush behind me singing. 😍

Alarming Report Finds US Bird Populations Are Still Crashing

"About one-third of all American bird species are of high or moderate conservation concern due to low populations, declining population trends, or other threats."

This season has been tough for shooting waterfowl. Since November I have been plagued by boaters, kayakers, police, droughts, ice and mud like quicksand but didn’t give up. LOL. I got this shot of a Female Common Merganser on Tuesday and I really like it. I hope you do too!

Wide frame. Female Common Merganser is swimming in the lower third from the right to left into the frame with its eye roughly halfway into the frame horizontally. The background is glowing golden with gold bokeh balls. There is a soft reflection on the water. The merganser has a pinkish bill, bronze head, white neck and silver back.

Look who dropped in this morning?

Red Tailed Hawk, Connecticut US, 7 March 2025.

#birding
A red tailed hawk with the sun on its breast perched on a slice of stump placed on top of a chess board looking sideways toward the camera showing off feathers and sharp talons. Surrounding the bird are small stones and seashells. The background features a blurred natural setting.
Close up of a red tailed hawk face looking directly into the camera with wind ruffled light cream breast feathers streaked with russet, brown head and back. It absolutely knows the photographer is there, safely behind a wall and window five feet away.

I was down in Florida for a few days to escape the cold weather. There were so many burrowing owls there, but it's really difficult to get a clean shot due to buildings, cars, fences, etc... I do like the way this one turned out though.

Second-ever elusive night parrot egg discovered in the Kimberley

Researchers hope the discovery of a night parrot egg in WA, second only to one found in Queensland, means the once-thought-extinct bird's population is beginning to recover.

Meine lieben Lebensformen,
es waren wunderbare Abende bei den jungen Steinkauzen.
Es gab verschiedene Pfosten auf denen die jungen Steinkauze sitzen und auf Beute lauern konnten.
Ich hoffe ja, dass sie heuer auch wieder brüten.

Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage.
Bleibt gesund, glücklich und verliebt.

Der schlimmste Seelenschmerz ist das Fernweh.

M@rcel
------------------------------------------------
My dear life forms,
They were wonderful evenings with the young little owls.
There were various posts on which the young little owls could sit and wait for prey.
I hope that they will breed again this year.

Animals are friends, not food or a nuisance.
Stay healthy, happy and in love.

The most terrible pain in the soul is wanderlust.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes... Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

Between the weather and my work schedule we haven't been able to do any birding yet this year. We were out looking for Short-eared Owls in December and
while we did see the owls they were too far away with fading light so were unable to get any pictures.

This American Kestrel seemed unimpressed with all the hubbub over the Owls.

The Joy of Catching a Fish! 🐟✨
This photo was taken at Halistenkoski in Turku, where large numbers of small fish occasionally swim upstream. During these times, the gulls have a feast, and you can see plenty of them fishing above the rushing waters of the rapids. The surrounding area is a beautiful cultural landscape, and it’s wonderful that you can enjoy nature so close to the city—even though this environment is heavily shaped by human influence. Still, I find it much more diverse than, for example, commercial forests dominated by monocultures. However, the noise from passing cars can be unpleasant, especially during rush hours when people are commuting to and from work.

This pair of house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) appear to be interacting. It seems all the spots at the bird feeder might be taken.

Feathered Sunshine

This charming male American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) made a visit to my backyard this morning, joining a lively group of others

"When Brown-headed Cowbirds lay eggs in an American Goldfinch nest, the cowbird egg may hatch but the nestling seldom survives longer than three days. The cowbird chick simply can’t survive on the all-seed diet that goldfinches feed their young." - allaboutbirds.org

"The image shows a goldfinch perched on a black metal shepherd's hook. The goldfinch has a bright yellow head and underparts, with a black cap on the top of its head. The wings are black with white markings, and the back is a mix of yellow and olive green. The bird's black beak is short and conical, typical of finches.
