Bird Antics

I don’t know if some birds are a bit whacky or if I’m goofy and see them differently than other humans.  Maybe a mixture of both.

Be sure to click/tap on photos for a closer view. And check out Kids, Beauties, Flyers, and Bites.

Want to see more birds?

Bird Flyers

Flying is easy:  lift your wings, push off hard, flap like crazy, and believe you can rise into the sky. Oh yeah, then there’s landing.

Bird Bites

Birds spend a lot of time looking for fresh, grab-and-go fish, or scanning for whatever is dead, or  whoofing down bugs.

Bird Kids

Bird kids are cute in their own ways, always spunky, always hungry, often demanding, sometimes sleepy.

Bird Beauties

Shooting to capture “the moment” with birds is a challenge.  Larger birds sometimes pose, smaller one are twitchy. But they’re all beautiful.
