Bald eagle blink.

A close-up photo of a mature bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), facing to the left of frame. It is a large raptor with white irises, a sharply hooked yellow-orange beak, white head feathers, and dark brown shoulder feathers. The bird's eye is partially covered by a translucent nictating membrane, or "third eyelid." The background is out of focus vivid green and teal foliage.

Went for my first guided bird walk yesterday. Amazing how much more you see with experienced birders pointing out the little things. This egret wasn’t one of the little things; even I spotted this beauty!

Mae great tit yn eistedd ar gangen.

Post them too much but they're right there, and blue, and their crests are so tall! 📷🌿🪶

A photo of a Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri), a large songbird with a deep blue torso, wings, and tail, dark eyes, black beak, and black head topped with a tall crest. It is perched on a bare gray tree branch facing the camera with its head turned toward the right of frame, and out of focus fall foliage in vivid hues of yellow and orange in the background behind it.

I keep posting these guys but I just like them and their giant silly crests so much. Plus I can take their picture from the front porch. Steller's jay.

A photo of a barred owl (Strix varia), a large gray owl with brown vertical stripes, a rounded head with no ear tufts, a sharp yellow beak, and black eyes perched on a bare grayish-brown tree branch facing the camera with green conifer branches in the background behind it.

Here's another ancient picture from when I studied Baya Weavers for my MSc back in 2012. This male was being quite indecisive about which blade of grass he wanted to pick for his nest. He kept hovering in this spot for close to a minute, allowing me to get a volley of shots off.

Forgive the massive oversatruration - I definitely went overboard with it back then.

A male Baya Weaverbird hovering in a field, trying to decide which blade of grass to pick for his nest.

An ancient picture from when I studied Baya Weavers for my MSc. During mating season, males build nests & flocks of females visit colonies to select mates based on the quality of their nests. This nest was already taken by a female and I happened to get a nice in-flight shot of the male as he was approaching.

Shooting with the fully manual 400mm with no AF or VR is crazy difficult.

A male Baya weaverbird mid-flight as he approaches his nest, with his mate inside the nest.

European Bee-eaters are migratory, and Austria is one of the places they come to when they breed. During courtship, the male feeds the larger insects from his catches to the female while eating the small ones himself.

It's been a while since I took my 400mm out for a spin. I finally gave it to Nikon to get it cleaned and serviced yesterday. Can't wait to take pictures with a non-moldy lens haha!
