This blue jay is scattering seed to find the right ones.

This blue jay is scaring off another from the feeding post and hogging the food.

It was a beautiful day in RMNP today. My friend hiked up to Emerald Lake and then Alberta Falls were the birds came out because I guess they wanted my pumpkin flavored muffin! HA! (and no I did not feed the wildlife) Oh and also shot with the new Z6II / FTZ adapter and the 70-200mm lens. CC...

Sitting on top of his world...

A very successful nest where the pole with their original nest had been replaced during off season and they busily rebuilt the following season and raised chicks in the same location. This was the 1st location I actually heard pileateds inside a pole drilling it out while they were out of sight.

This cattle egret was an hour north of my NH home staying for days on a cow farm and in the lush green field across the street. It had been years since I had seen any them down in Essex, Massachusetts where I often saw them in the marshes. and golf course.

Redpolls usually only show up here in New England occasionally during the winter months seeking a food source when there is a scarcity further north.

Stopped on a back road bridge to capture these Canada geese from the car.

This eagle was right beside the road, but I had to inch my car slowly to find a clear shot through the big pine branches that it was tucked behind.

This deer hid in tall ferns at a Bar Harbor mansion while joggers and walkers passed with their headsets plugged in, never noticing it was a few yards away.
