    A Yellow-rumped Warbler was on the lookout for insects in our ‘lil nectarine tree. It was a very last minute decision to get the camera #YellowRumpedWarbler #BirdPhotography #Birds #HomeOrchard #Fujifilm #SOoC

    A Yellow-rumors Warbler is perched in a leafing out nectarine tree with pink to magenta flowers that are about to fall off. The warbler’s back is to the camera as it looks almost 90° to the left, giving side eye to the photographer. Its yellow spot on its head is just visible. Its feathers are black to gray. The background is completely blurred out.

    House Finch showing their spring colors #HouseFinch #BirdPhotography #Birds #Yarden #Fujifilm #SOoC

    A house finch, with bright red upper body, perched on an at-capacity yellow seed feeder. Its chest is facing the camera but its head is cocked to the left, as if it is eyeing the seed port. Some one out peanuts in the bottom feeder tray

    Back in March, 2024, we went to Death Valley. It was nowhere close to this year’s reported superbloom, but it was a treat seeing the cloud shrouded desert landscape painted with yellow north of Ubehebe Crater #DeathValleyNP #BloomScrolling #Fujifilm #SOoC

    A wide-angle view of an area north of Ubehebe Crater where yellow flowers carpet the valley and some hills. Clouds are low, touching the peaks of some far off mountains. In the midground, a dirt road crosses the frame in front of some endoheric basins shine, but they're not filled with water, just really freshly deposited sediment.

    At night, an artistic weather vain with one end as metal outlines of clocks or maybe wheels and spokes. The other end looks like a couple of paddles. It's all lit up with purpose. It does spin but no motion can be seen from the photo. Behind it are three lit up stars, probably christmas decorations for the waterfront. Lights across the harbor can be seen.

    At Berlin Tempelhof airport, December 5, 2023. #Berlin #Germany #Fujifilm #SOoC

    On a cloudy day with snow covered ground, a runner in a blue outfit travels along one of the Berlin Tempelhof's taxiways. A little father away, a dog runs in parrallel on gnow and grass. The scene is very white with few breaks of buildings along the skyline.

    June, 2022: Munich’s Palace of Justice with the Neptune Fountain #Munich #Germany #Fujifilm #SOoC

    The rear of the Neptune Fountain, with Neptune's rear end prominent in front of the Palace of Justice. It's a nice blue but cloudy day, and the sky with clouds reflect in the palace's oversized windows. The copper and glass dome reaches toward the sky.

    Finally, I got a telephoto of the hawk hanging out around our backyard. Looks like a Red-shouldered Hawk, not a Red-tailed
    #RedShoulderedHawk #Birds #BirdPhotography #Fujifilm #SOoC

    A Red-shouldered hawk sits in a Tree of Heaven, ever watchful. It is mostly brownish-red with white patches, especially on its chest. It has some slicked back feathers upon its head. Its beak is black at the tip and orange closer to the face. Some blurry elderberry leaves obscure a portion of the bird.

    “I ONLY HAVE ONE LEG, COME AT ME!” - Western Meadowlark #WesternMeadowLark

    #Birds #BirdPhotography #LlanoSeco #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC

    A meadow lark is perched upon a swing gate, with only one leg, and its back to the camera. Its head is turned to the left, beak open, as if it is singing. A patch of orange can be seen on its throat and behind its beak. The rest of the bird is mottled brown and white. The background is blurred out but there's a strip of green among the brown.

    Today we stumbled across some magnificent Sandhill Cranes. These badasses were right off the side of a California state highway #SandhillCrane #BirdPhotography #Birds #Fujifilm #SOoC

    Nine Sandhill Cranes in a shallow pond, slowly walking to the left. All the surrounding vegetation is brown. The large birds, with viciously sharp bills, have bright red on their foreheads. Their feathers are white to brown  with a bit of rust red on the wing feathers.

    At the refuge yesterday, we spotted a Bald Eagle nest and suddenly both eagles swooped down and flew low along a pond, disturbing a whole lot of Snow Geese

    #BaldEagle #SnowGoose #Birds #BirdPhotography #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoCA Bald Eagle Nest is visible high up in a eucalytpus tree. It's massive, maybe the size of a VW bug. A bald eagle is exiting the nest, with its wings stretched out.A bald eagle soars along a pond, showing off its prominent white head and tail, with some grassy islands and snow geese floating away a short distance along a shore.A whole bunch of snow geese, maybe several dozen, are flying upwards after being disturbed by a couple of bald eagles. They were resting on land where there's some green vegetation but beyond it's all brown along with the trees. The black tips of the snow geese are prominent. There's some other geese mixed in of unknown species.
