You weren't kidding when you said closeups Doug - beautiful shots of these little birds.

My offering for today is a shot from yesterday with a pair of ravens hanging out at one of the overlook turnoffs along US101 near Heceta Head. Most likely looking for handouts instead of posing for a portrait

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Good job on these Ravens, Alan.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Great images of these warblers Douglas.

How about a barred owl?

Beautiful image, Ben. Where did you see this?

By the Spokane River in Spokane, a place called donkey island. Several owls live in there as well as a heron rookery.

 

[Jim Sanderson]

Three from recent outings. Cranes, hawk and harrier.

A pair of Ravens has started building a nest in a local park. I was surprised it was this early as the temperature can still get pretty cold. Today was -28deg.C with a wind blowing making it feel like -38C (basically at this temp F and C are the same).

This Raven just broke off this branch and was flying to the nest.

I wondered if I would find the tree that held the nest but when I went back the next day it was obvious which tree they had been working in.

I made up a short video of the bird trying to break off a branch.

I had no idea that Nashville would have their own Warbler, though it's fitting I suppose.

Sandhill Cranes flying around at the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge near Monte Vista Colorado. I captured this a few days back.

That's very interesting Trent. I enjoyed the video too.
