A male summer tanager has been coming to the jelly feeder for a few weeks. I didn't think he would stay because I didn't see any female summer tanagers. But today, for the first time, I saw her at the feeder. Perhaps there is hope that they will stay after all and I will get to see baby tanagers. #birds#birding#birdsofmastodon#birdphotography#tanager#nature#HoosierMast
Went somewhere new today and saw something new. Even though the bird was miles off in the distance, thought I'd post an image all the same.
Hobby
From RSPB: "Hobby Falcons are about the size of a Kestrel with pointed wings, looking a bit like a giant swift. They are known for their dashing flight and will chase large insects and small birds like swallows and martins.
The first a standard 'bird on the woodland floor' shot
the second, is the harder side of nature, as it shows a Jackdaw in flight with the contents of a egg it just stole from either a Nesting Black-headed gull or Lapwing. (It happened too far away from me to be sure which)
