Cedar Waxwing – Another Mysterious Behavior
Recently I’ve been posting a few photos documenting bird behaviors I don’t understand. Earlier this week it happened again, this time with Cedar Waxwings.
A Strange And Completely Unexpected Kingfisher Behavior
Over the years I’ve spent countless hours watching kingfishers through my lens but until a few days ago I’d never seen this.
Gray Catbird Interaction
Sopping Wet And Preening Yellow Warbler
Red-tailed Hawk Running The Gauntlet
A Sneaky Coyote Hunting Sandhill Cranes

Pelican Surprise

Pied-billed Grebe Mystery Behavior
