Great white sharks face extinc...

This bald eagle in Grand Pré was staring me down. #birds #wildlife #NovaScotia

A bald eagle with a head of white feathers and a body of dark brown feathers, a yellow beak that's hooked on the end, and bright white eyes stares down while it sits perched on a telephone pole on the side of a rural road.

I will take the plunge!

Never seen a wild turkey before! This was in North Texas, United States of America. Not sure on the sex or age, but I think it’s a juvenile. Very cool either way. Sorry for the blurry pictures – this was kind of far away, and taken with my phone. #turkey #wildlife #photo

A tricolored heron with a slate-blue body and white underparts wading in shallow water, creating ripples as it moves. The bird has a long yellow bill with a black tip and long yellow legs, and appears to be actively foraging for fish in the sunlit water.

2026 starts with #B&W as the #BirdoftheDay theme, and here is one of my last pictures from 2025 taken with my new OM-3 and given the Nik Silver Efex treatment. A Great Egret. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Photography #Nature #Wildlife

A Great Egret, next to water, in the rain. Rain drops visible on the water. Rendered in a Selenium look black and white, with a light vignette. The Egret is looking down at the mud for signs of life.

I know it's a new year and I should be throwing up the "new", but I still cling to personal rituals, and #ThrowbackThursday is something I've found some degree of comfort in the routine? so I might as well share some of my personal favorite of the "old", from a walk labeled "back yard", because it was literally walking distance from the front door in a place that I still have many fond memories of.

three yucca plants, all at different stages of life - green, dried out & white, and dried out & charred, with the charred one weaving its way through and around the other two in a very curious natural pattern, set against a mountain backdrop

an imposing view from below of a grove of yucca trees, again at various stages of life - dried out & spiky, but also in the middle of blossoming with cream white flowers and dark seed pods, still against a mountainous backdrop

on a mountain forest path, a Modelo beer can has been left hanging (not by the photographer) from a twig jutting out of a dry mossy tree

Les Grosbecs étaient en nombre et quelques chardonnerets 🤡 ont pointé leur bouille colorée 🤩

Grosbec casse-noyau, oiseau au bec massif bleu-gris, avec une calotte rousse, un "tour de cou" gris clair, un ventre beige saumoné, et du noir, du blanc, du bleu, du marron...sur les ailes.
Il est posé sur une brindille et attend son tour à la mangeoire.

Chardonneret élégant avec ses rayures blanche rouge et noir sur la tête. Le reste du plumage mêle des motifs jaune, blanc, noir, gris et beige.
Lui aussi est posé sur une brindille et attend de pouvoir aborder la mangeoire.

Il tourne le dos au photographe, mais tourne la tête de manière à présenter son profil de clown un peu triste.

At the limits of my lens/sensor + distance, yet, while fuzzy, captures the feeling of sunset tranquility before the cold comes rushing in. Red deer stag in Wollaton Park. #reddeer #sunset #wildlife #nature #wollatonpark
