Beak Full of Breakfast

This is a detailed shot of a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) who was around yesterday. The jay is gathering peanuts, you can see two here, one in its mouth and one held in the end of its beak. The jay looks lit it recently went through a molt and its head feathers are growing back.

"The oldest known wild, banded Blue Jay was at least 26 years, 11 months old when it was found dead after being caught in fishing gear. It had been banded in the Newfoundland/Labrador/St. Pierre et Miquelon area in 1989 and was found there in 2016."

Face to face with an Atlantic puffin. These beautiful and weird birds spend their time at sea and return to the coast in spring for breeding. One of the colonies lies on the island Runde in Norway and I had the opportunity to see them up close – really close – this weekend. It was an amazing experience and I hope to visit another time and do the boat tour around the island.

Stubborn Bird

Yesterday, among the hundreds of goldfinches flittering around my backyard. I saw this house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus). I was taken by his coloring, which is a bit more on the orange side than most house finches that I see around here. I only had time for this one shot. The look on the bird's face reminds me of Ben when I'm talking to him, and he just stares back at me.

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

Feathered Crown

This tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) was around yesterday. These birds rarely sit still long enough for a photo. You almost have to know where they will be before they get there. In this case I got lucky I was taking photos of dozens of small birds and one happened to be this bird.

"A little gray bird with an echoing voice, the Tufted Titmouse is common in eastern deciduous forests and a frequent visitor to feeders. The large black eyes, small, round bill, and brushy crest gives these birds a quiet but eager expression that matches the way they flit through canopies, hang from twig-ends, and drop in to bird feeders. When a titmouse finds a large seed, you’ll see it carry the prize to a perch and crack it with sharp whacks of its stout bill." - allaboutbirds.org

My Kingdom.

This hawk was in an oak tree outside my backyard fence this morning. I tried taking a photo through the storm door because it was raining. But some leaves were covering the head of the hawk, so I made a hasty waterproof cover for my camera and went out into the rain to get some photos. I think that this is a Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) based on its size, but it could be a sharp-shinned hawk (Accipiter striatus). I'm basically guessing between the two they look so much alike.

Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high-speed pursuit of other birds. … With their smaller lookalike, the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper’s Hawks make for famously tricky identifications. Both species are sometimes unwanted guests at bird feeders, looking for an easy meal (but not one of sunflower seeds).
