Redhead Wing Flap (a nine image series)
Wing flapping of aquatic species is a common behavior that I find difficult to photograph well.
Preening Rough-legged Hawk – The Rest Of The Story
Rough-legged Hawk In A Delightful Preening Pose
Male American Kestrel Acting Strangely
Belted Kingfisher – Old Stubby-legs
Northern Harrier Throwing Up A ….. Pellet?
This series may be a little too clinical for some but if you enjoy learning about bird biology, raptors in particular, you’ll likely find it of interest.
Strange Bathing Behavior From A Pied-billed Grebe
After this many years of observing birds carefully I seldom see behaviors that are new to me in common species. But 12 days ago I did.

The Most Adventuresome Of The Red-tailed Hawk Siblings

Black-chinned Hummingbirds Putting On A Show
