Red-bellied Woodpecker. Heritage Park, Olathe, Kansas, March 29th, 2026.

it was pretty high up in the tree, constantly moving just enough to make it hard to photograph. Turned out decently enough.

Ma and Pa osprey hanging out at the nest. That's Pa on the left and Ma on the right if my Googled osprey lore is correct. I suspect there may be some baby osprey down in the nest, but I never saw them. Alexandria, Virginia, USA 31-MAR-2026. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Sentinel of Spring

I think this image of a mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) perched among budding branches pairs beautifully with the spirit of the Easter season.

If you're a fan of stunning dove imagery, be sure to explore my photo gallery for a collection of beautiful snapshots that capture their elegance and charm.

A rather friendly American Crow today at Grant Park, our local recreation spot. Flew in about 30 feet from me and just perched and did some preening. I took a lot of photos and came closer, and they just looked at me, perhaps hoping I had some peanuts. When I left, the Crow left.

Missed the hummingbird. The bananaquit was more cooperative. 🙃
