for #WildlifeWednesday i have dug out more of my Marvelous Spatuletail photos & have decided to develop this one. The sunlight coming through the forest made this photo a bit challenging but it also lit up the glittering crown and throat feathers...

I swear, baby is bigger than the harried parent but insists on having the food placed directly in birb's beak...
"I'm little and helpless, you have to feed me"-- was the vibe of this whole encounter
❤️ 🤣

Looking for bird behaviouralists with knowledge of Swainson's hawks specifically. I captured some burst video of a "stray" Swainson's hawk seeming to attack our local Mama Swainson's in the air.
The full video (with more details of the situation) is on my YouTube channel (just over 2 minutes) and on my Project Hawk website (see bio). Appreciate any input on this behaviour!

After a long delay in leaving the house, I finally head to the bird sanctuary and was rewarded with 2 Long-eared Owls. Two!
🦉🦉
Also, got to witness this little gem of a moment.

A compilation of a couple of cool things I've seen from Northern Flickers.
The first is an elaborate dance/conversation where I imagine important matters are being discussed. 😉
Next is a Flicker "falling" off a tree and a slow-motion version of the dive. So cool!
