An afternoon stroll on the Salford Mosses, including an old man making heavy weather of identifying a whinchat. #Birdwatching #IrlamMoss #ChatMoss #LittleWooldenMoss https://heywoodbirdwatching.blogspot.com/2026/04/mosses_20.html

Treetop Flare This isn’t a great image, and the composition is a little clumsy, but it captures something rare for me — a male summer tanager (Piranga rubra) flittering through a treetop.

It is a symphony of birdsong outside this morning. This is what Merlin Bird ID is hearing. #birds #birdwatching

I guess this is a productive use of my daylight hours during retirement. I don’t use a blind generally, just photograph if I’m presented an opportunity while ambling. The Eastern Towhee was semi-cooperative. The Sharp-shinned Hawk—let’s just say this is the best photo of a Shinnie that I’ve ever taken. 46 bird species on today’s amble: https://ebird.org/checklist/S322156284 #eBird #birding #BirdWatching #BadBirdPhotos #nature #OptOutside #birds #SpringMigration #spring

There are times when I'm not in the driving seat when I'm going for a walk. And there are times when this works to my advantage. #Birdwatching #EtherowCountryPark #KegWood https://heywoodbirdwatching.blogspot.com/2026/04/etherow-country-park.html

Jay on the Move The easiest way to catch a bird on the move is to already be snapping pictures when it leaves a known perch. Like this blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) leaping from a swing‑shaped feeder with a whole peanut in its beak. Honestly, it might have two. If you're enchanted by images of blue jays and other captivating corvids, dive into my photo gallery for a visual treat!

Ahem ... A male red‑bellied woodpecker stands perched atop a female, his wings lifted in a wide, dramatic spread that suggests either a protective stance or a courtship display. The pair balance together on a slender tree limb, their sharply detailed plumage set against a soft, blurred backdrop of blue sky and natural color, creating a striking contrast between the crisp foreground and the gentle background.

Egret in the Shallows I captured this image of a snowy egret (Egretta thula) one morning in Gulfport, Mississippi. The egret was hunting in a shallow tidal pool near the surf. Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story. https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com #photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #heron #egret #snowyegret

Sunbeam at the Feeder “Most of the American goldfinches (Spinus tristis) have already migrated north, but I spotted this little male yesterday still hanging around. Maybe he’s staying for the buffet.

Skyward Bound This tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor), its small crest lifted like a banner, grips the edge of the bird feeder as it pushes off into the air with a sunflower seed clenched firmly in its beak. A warm wash of rufous coloring shows along its flanks and lower back, standing out against the soft gray of its wings and head. Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look! https://swede1952-photographs.pixels.com #photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #tuftedtitmouse

The Bold Eagle The stance of this little chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina) gives the delightful impression of a tiny bird trying its best to imitate an eagle—chest lifted, posture proud, and attitude far larger than its size. If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection.

Good morning. 🪿🪿🦢 28 March 2026 I’m just easing into the morning with my first cup of coffee. I can always tell when I’m taking too long to gather my thoughts—my coffee starts to cool before I’ve said anything worth saying. Last night I finished Blue Moon by Lee Child, a Jack Reacher novel from one of my favorite series. I have most of the books on audio, and for years they were narrated by Dick Hill, who passed away a couple of years ago. Over time, Hill’s voice became Jack Reacher for me, and while I was reading this one, I kept trying to hear that familiar “Reacher voice” in my head. Scott Brick—one of my favorite audiobook narrators—has taken over since Hill’s passing, but after so many years of Hill’s Reacher, it’s just not quite the same. Since I don’t drive as much anymore, I decided to order a hardback of a recent Reacher book. That plan didn’t go quite the way I expected, because it turns out I’d already read—or listened to—Blue Moon. I’m not sure why the title didn’t ring a bell when I ordered it. Still, it worked out. I didn’t remember most of the details, and I always feel like you catch more of the story when you read it yourself. I enjoyed the book, but next time I’ll do a better job checking which ones I already own. The story pits Reacher against two rival organized‑crime groups in a city he just happens to wander into. As for who wins—well, if you know Jack Reacher, those guys were doomed the moment they crossed him. Blue Moon is the 25th Reacher novel. If you’re curious about where it all begins, the first book is The Killing Floor. “Get your retaliation in first” - Jack Reacher “You can’t reason with a bully. You stop him.” - Jack Reacher "Reacher said nothing." - Lee Child #photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #BlackBelliedWhistlerDucks #greategret #morning #book #reading #JackReacher #LeeChild
