So incredibly well-adapted for its surroundings with its #camouflage, the loss of the #Long-Eared Owl's #habitat is sadly threatening this species.🦉

During a passing #thundershower, a #family of #Western #Bluebirds filled my yard. This #juvenile #perched in the #rain as the #sun broke through the #clouds, 🌦️making the #raindrops #sparkle.✨

#theOutsiderPhotos #Bird #Birder #WesternBluebird #Nature #NatureLover #Colorado #DenverAudubon #Migration
A juvenile Western Bluebird perches on a small branch. It's looking towards the viewer. Its wings are lifted slightly above its body, as if shaking off raindrops, which had collected on its feathers. The background of the scene is dark, but many falling raindrops, in various degrees of focus, are visible in the image.

Among the many interesting qualities of a #Killdeer, they have clever #hunting moves—run, stop, flash their white throat, even foot-tremble—to flush hidden #prey.🪰🪱🐟

#Nature #gifts innumerable #wonders, such as why would a #Double-Crested #Cormorant have #turquoise eyes?🤔

To be a #Wood #Duck gliding through #soft #silver #water in #Autumn.🧡🍂💛

A colorful male wood duck swims towards and looks in the viewer's direction. The head of the bird is center right while its rear is center and to the left and its body is slightly angled so that its head is more in focus than the rear. The bird's head is reflected in the water it is swimming through. The surface of the water appears silvery and almost creamy and dreamy.
