This image is a detail from my watercolor painting American Bald Eagle portrait, which I painted in landscape format. I have cropped it to a modern square format.
Not great photos, but I was doing some running around today, and managed to come across these beautiful Wedge Tailed Eagles. Sadly I couldn’t get close enough to take good pictures, but it was great to watch them majestically soar through the sky. #birdphotography#birdsofprey
My friend came back twice yesterday, the first time to hang out and look around, the second time at dusk to enjoy a delicious sparrow(?) up a spruce tree.
There is a lot of doom and gloom about nature and wildlife.. but I have to say that in the past 4 years I am sure there's been a huge boom in the number of #birdsofprey I see flying (and squawking) around above the various villages, fields and woodlands around me. Something I recall being a rare sight from youth until ~4 years ago is now an almost daily occurrence. Majestic beasts. #britishwildlife
@That_One_Guy WOW, I've never seen that, do you walk with a limp? From that horseshoe up your ass LOL , I have seen one owl sitting on the ground in more than a half century. That's rare for me, and I see odd things quickly. I'd be there all day with a camera capturing that, you probably just casually took it on your phone. Amazing luck. Great capture.

Sitting in the snackbar - This beautiful Sparrowhawk was sitting in our garden at about 50cm (20 inch) from the bird feeding station as if he was in a snackbar. The feeding tray was of course totally abandoned by all the little birds
What do you prefer?
I painted my portrait of a bald eagle in vertical format, but cropped it to a contemporary square format, so you can decide which format best fits your space.
I think I have photographed a Royal Tern. These 5 images in a collage are all of the same bird. Seen at Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware, USA in July 2023.
Meet Lincoln the Bald Eagle. He’s one of the most majestic birds I’ve ever photographed. I can’t imagine living in a place where there’s are flying around in the wild.
