This is a view you don’t want to see if you’re a fish - down the hatch of a hungry Reddish Egret! From a recent trip to FL. #reddishegret #egret #predatorprey #birds #wadingbirds

Carolina Wren hanging on during some snow flurries this morning. It was a cold 19 degrees F, but much better than the previous morning of 4 degrees. #carolinawren #wren #birdphotography #winterbirds #snowstorm

Beautiful male Painted Bunting posed on a saw palmetto for me earlier this week in FL. It’s from the eastern of two populations in the US, that breeds in Georgia, South Carolina, and northern Florida, and was wintering in southern Florida. Unfo
Beautiful male Painted Bunting posed on a saw palmetto for me earlier this week in FL. It’s from the eastern of two populations in the US, that breeds in Georgia, South Carolina, and northern Florida, and was wintering in southern Florida. Unfortunately, this species is in decline, due to loss of habitat and, believe it or not, illegal poaching for the pet trade. For this reason I will not be sharing the specific location. #paintedbunting #birds #wildbirds #birdphotography #birdwatching
Black Vulture this evening, in with the largest flock of vultures I’ve ever seen. Most were turkey vultures, but probably 5-10% were black vultures. #blackvulture #vulture #birding #birdphotography #naturephotography

A first for the state of Massachusetts! This Limpkin was sighted yesterday, WAY out of its normal range of Florida and Central and South America. I went out this morning and got to observe it - looking healthy and eating grubs and earthworms from residential lawns. How did it end up here? This species does not migrate, but occasionally a few will wander well outside of its range, perhaps as a way to seek out new territory. _____ #limpkin #birds #wildbirds #bestbirdshots #birdlovers #birding #birdphotography #birdingphotography #birder #birdsofinstagram #birdwatching #feather_perfection #birdfreaks #ig_birdwatchers #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #natureonly #wildnature #best_birds_of_ig #your_best_birds #nanpapix

Western Cattle Egret with some late fall foliage yesterday. These guys are generally not seen around here, but a few will occasionally show up during migration. They are usually found in much warmer climes hanging out with grazing cattle, where they feed on the insects that get disturbed by the herd. _____ #westerncattleegret #cattleegret #egret #birds #wildbirds #bestbirdshots #birdlovers #birding #birdphotography #birdingphotography #birder #birdsofinstagram #birdwatching #feather_perfection #birdfreaks #ig_birdwatchers #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #natureonly #wildnature #best_birds_of_ig #your_best_birds #nanpapix
A juvenile Roseate Spoonbill showed up in Massachusetts yesterday after we had a 3-day nor’easter. It was only the second time ever that this species has been spotted in our state - perhaps he got blown off course, just a little. Looks pretty hungry! Shot this video this morning in a tidal creek that’s part of a large saltmarsh on the coast. _____ #roseatespoonbill #spoonbill #vagrantbird #rarebird #birds #wildbirds #birdlovers #birding #birdphotography #birdingphotography #birder #birdsofinstagram #birdwatching #ig_birdwatchers #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #wildnature
