Feathered Friday Welcomes Spring!
Happy Feathered Friday everyone! Today I'd like to encourage everyone to share their bird photos, share and support each other, and let's have a very Feathery day!
The following photos were all taken by me ~ some today, some very recently and a couple of oldies. Check them out, I hope you enjoy!
I captured this photo of a male Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) today. Olympus E-M5MarkII, 1/100s f/5.3 ISO200 116mm.
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) having a good hair day! Nikon D750, 1/1000s f/6.3 ISO200 600mm.
Red breasted Robin (urdus migratorius). What goes with Robins? Cherry Blossoms! Nikon D750, 1/2000s f/6.3 ISO400 600mm.
I caught this Male Mallard Duck (Anas platyrhynchos) with a 50mm lens. Nikon D7100, 1/1250s f/1.8 ISO1000 50mm
Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias). The female heron stands on the spot where she wants to build the nest. It's up to the male to fetch branches. Olympus E-M5MarkII, 1/1600s f/5.6 ISO800 150mm.
The poor (hen-pecked) male brings branches as fast as he can! There is a fair amount of screaming involved. Nikon D750, 1/1250s f/6.0 ISO100 400mm.
I'm sure it's like this for other bird species as well. Here is a pair of Osprey (Pandion haliaetus). You want the nest where? In the stadium lighting??? (Sigh) Yes, dear... Nikon D750, 1/800s f/6.3 ISO200 300mm
I assume these are male and female Northwestern Crows (Corvus caurinus). I couldn't possibly identify which is the female... Olympus E-M5MarkII, 1/50s f/7.1 ISO200 140mm
Absolutely fabulous photos! I love every single one of these! Resteeming! and here is mine. https://steemit.com/featheredfriday/@melinda010100/feathered-friday-71085a8d707b4

That;s a very cool shot, I hope everyone checks it out!
Hello, @keithboone! My eagle and heron are not so good and close-up, but it was all my best :)
It's great to see your post. The white heron is gorgeous!
Thank you. He (or she) looked gorgeous on a tree branch, but the children scared him and he flew away
This happens to me as well... children or dogs scare the birds
Awesome shots Keith. Love them all . U&R.

Thank you very much! I enjoyed your post about woodpeckers!
I like the first one best. I hope it lands in a pond near me one day.
Thank you! The male wood duck has wonderful colours!
Strange palce the ospreys chose for nesting 😀
Birds are creative, aren't they?
I bet it stays warm up there after a game! :-)
Great photos and very interesting observations. Nest on the design with lights - wow!
