Last week this guy stopped by and posed before continuing to the suet. I happened to be nearby with my camera and snapped a few pics through the window, not realizing how great the light and shadows were 🪶 #bird #birdsofseattle #woodpeckerwednesday #fauntleroy #westseattle #backyardbirding #wildlife

The fledgling "caramel" crow returned this evening and gave me a chance to get some decent photos. Good light, too! No notes. 🪶 #birdsofseattle #caramelcrow #corvids #leucism #fauntleroy #westseattle #crows #lincolnpark

Here's a more dignified pose from one of the pileated woodpeckers that visits my yard. Taken last March on a gorgeous day.

Horror movie poster? Male pileated woodpecker on suet feeder while northern flicker lurks in the shadows. The flickers don't defer to anyone but the pileateds in my yard. (Tight crop; taken through window, with obstruction on either side.)

New caramel crow just dropped in West Seattle! Spotted this fledgling today. Almost exactly a year ago we had one,though darker in colorm They occur in our neighborhood population, usually one or two every few years. AFAIK no consensus on the cause. 🪶 #birdsofseattle #fauntleroy #crows #corvid

I heard a strange call while out in the yard & found this fledgling pileated woodpecker clinging to a redwood, awaiting his parent. He took off at the end when he heard dad approaching. Love those big eyes and little calls! 🪶 #woodpeckerwednesday #birdsofseattle #fauntleroy #westseattle #fledgling

"Just" a barred owl I stumbled upon off an inner trail in the park this morning. If you listen with sound on, you'll hear a raven pair calling to each other, and an Anna's hummingbird chastising the owl. Plus kids playing and a dog barking, because city park.

Took my "real" camera and a new lens to the park today. Of course it was one of those days where I heard far more than I saw, but not bad overall. The lens is fun, but so heavy!

My goal this winter has been to get a good picture of a Pacific wren. This is the best I've managed so far. These guys are *teeny tiny* and in my observation love burrowing through forest floor debris like little mice, never stopping. #bird #USbirds #birdsofseattle #fauntleroy #wren #lincolnparkSEA

Thrush Thursday? Is that a thing? This hermit thrush hung out in my yard for about a month Nov-Dec 2024. So adorable, but very shy. Got pushed around by the ground-foraging regulars, but managed to get his fair share of bugs. #bird #USbirds #birdsofseattle #seattlebirding #fauntleroy #westseattle

This female bushtit took a break from her flock's feeding frenzy, actually staying still long enough for me to snap some photos through the window. Love those fierce gray eyes🪶

Spotted towhees are not rare at all in Seattle, but in my experience they're usually pretty shy. This vibrant male, though, was very curious about me when I walked by, and escorted me along the trail. 🪶 #USbirds #lincolnparkSEA #westseattle #fauntleroy #towhee #birdsofseattle

What bird name do you feel awkward saying around non-birders? For me it's hands-down "brown creeper." People these days are used to tits, boobies, and cocks, but this little shy camouflaged one's name remains awkward for me... #bird #usbirds #birdsofseattle #fauntleroy #westseattle #creeper
