Spent some time with my magpie friends this morning

A male Australian magpie walks across a large patch of dirt, punctuated by fallen twigs, bark, and dead grass. The magpie is tilting their head slightly to keep an eye to the sky

Eeek, eeek, meet some of the visitors that you may see tomorrow at this feeder live from 9-10 AM EDT for the #Birdfy30DayChallenge. Tomorrow, I will do the livestream on my youtube channel (look for @Ostdrossel, and you'll find it), and then I may also do one on FB in the coming days. Let's hope for some fun stuff! (The music is called "Funky background music with a retro feel(1588152)".) #birds

Last Wednesday, an EF2 tornado landed 2 miles from my house (we are unharmed). This was followed by heavy rain and significant flooding (we are dry). And there is a freeze warning Monday night.We will have experienced the full spectrum of Midwest April weather in 5 days. #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #trees #naturephotography #HoosierMast

A male American goldfinch looks patchy because he is molting into his summer feathers. When he is done, he will be neon yellow, with a black cap and black and white wings. Here, he scrutinizes his image in the water of the birdbath before taking a drink.

My cherry tree is blooming. It has pretty clusters of white flowers. It will provide food for birds, squirrels and raccoons.

We have many redbud trees in our yard. This photo shows many pink buds along a small branch. The buds will open in another week or two. The eastern redbud is a small tree, native to eastern North America. It's also known as the Judas tree because: 1) a legend states that Judas hanged himself from one of these trees*. The tree, which was tall and had white flowers, became stunted and the flowers turned red, either with shame or to honor the death of Jesus. 2) The redbud blooms around Easter, which is when Judas betrayed Jesus. [*the eastern redbud is native to North America and would not be found in the Middle East, but a related tree that looks similar grows there.]

An American Robin hanging out in one of the conifers, soaking up the sun

A large, plump songbird sits on a branch in a pine tree, soaking up the bright sun cutting through the canopy. It has a large, rusty orange belly, and a dark gray head and wings, with hints of white on its rump. It has a bright yellow bill sticking out to the right, and a white ring of feathers around its eye

Goldfinch Moon

During one of our morning walks, a couple of years ago, I happened to glance south and spotted a goldfinch (Spinus tristis) beautifully framed by the soft glow of the morning moon. While the shot wasn’t perfect, moments like this—a goldfinch poised against such a celestial backdrop—don’t come around often. It was a rare and memorable chance to capture nature’s elegance.

Discover more captivating moments like this in my photo gallery—nature's beauty awaits!

"The image showcases a serene and picturesque scene: a vibrant goldfinch perches delicately on the branch of a tree with bare twigs. Behind it, the moon looms in the sky, creating a striking and poetic backdrop. The bird, with its vivid yellow plumage and contrasting black markings, stands out against the soft hues of the clear blue sky. The moon appears large, slightly blurred, and its luminous surface enhances the dreamy quality of the image. A perfect balance of nature and celestial beauty! The photo credit belongs to "Swede's Photographs," as noted in the bottom corner. Truly a captivating composition." - Copilot

Some dramatic poses in the backyard today. You *got* peanuts. Why the face? #birds

Blue jay standing on a wooden post, with its back mostly towards you, on a slight angle. Its head is turned back towards you, almost as far as it will go, and chin up in the air, as if unapproving or exasperated... or has been severely wronged or treated unfairly.

Less than a lifetime ago, great flocks of Carnaby’s cockatoos cast large shadows over Perth. Now, the long-term clearing of eucalypt forests and banksia woodlands, combined with southern Western Australia’s driest and hottest period on record, is pushing the species towards extinction. - The Guardian

I re-edited this photo to have a closer crop. I think it works better like this...

Close crop of two young fluffy cygnets floating on the surface of a pond. They are lined up one behind the other, both looking toward the camera. The one in front has its beak tucked into its fluffy wing, while the one behind has its neck raised as if looking over the first one's shoulder. This second one is out of focus

One of my favorite photographic experiences was spending twenty minutes with this beautiful red-tailed hawk perched in a tree along the banks of the Animas River in January 2022.

A red-tailed hawk perched on a bare tree branch against a clear blue sky. The hawk's feathers are a mix of brown and cream, with a distinctive red tail. Its sharp talons grip the branch, and it gazes intently into the distance.

Bei den Vögeln gabs heute mit dem Waldwasserläufer was neues. Ein Wintergast/Zugvogel für meine Ecke. Passte auch so gar nicht an den kleinen Teich wo er war, und dann leider weiter flog...

This is cool! You can see how many birds are migrating across the US everyday, and also compare more metropolitan areas to more rural areas
