Eyes? Or eye? This Great-horned Owl seemed to be attempting to hunt during the day - probably because of his injury.

#BirdPoker Isolated curated by +Phil Armishaw

Couldn't decide which photo to put up so I also decided on an Eastern Kingbird to match Phil's. They are pretty isolated themselves anyway. This one was the first arrival found in my county this spring.

Ok, so I am cheating a little bit because the long feathers on the male Resplendent Quetzal are the upper tail coverts, not the actual tail...

So... what's the proper way to share a photo now in an album, have it stay in the album and have people actually SEE it? Seems to change every time Google+ changes layouts....

#BirdPoker Pairs curated by +Phil Armishaw

The perfect theme for my recent weekend experience of being surrounded by up to 80 Bohemian Waxwings, which is rare for my area. Some of the birds displayed courtship behavior by passing small items of food back and forth.

#BirdPoker Bokeh curated by +Phil Armishaw

Most of the photos in my backyard album have nice bokeh in the background due to my set up. My favorite is in the fall when the background becomes colorful from the leaves in the woods.

#BirdPoker Attacking curated by +Phil Armishaw

It was a little tough to watch as these two Ring-billed Gulls fought it out. There were no casualties aside from the one on the bottom's pride. He walked away extremely muddy with what looked like a hurt wing. Not sure if the damage was permanent or what they were scuffling about, especially since this was in the fall, long after breeding season. And for the record, it would have been illegal for us to walk into the muck to help the bird.

#BirdPoker Finches curated by +Phil Armishaw

This winter was the season of Redpolls for me. I had over 100 Common Redpolls visiting at times and also had a few Hoary Redpolls mixed in. Now I only have small flocks of visitors since they are heading back north.

#BirdPoker Friendly Birds curated by +Phil Armishaw

My backyard pair of Red-breasted Nuthatches are very approachable and often fly to the feeders when I am next to them. This one in particular had me worried after she struck my window. She was so shocked that she perched upside down for a while and just stayed still. She eventually made herself right-side-up, recovered and flew off. I still have my pair!

This Cooper's Hawk's Red eyes really stood out in the overcast and snowy day. In this photo, he perched after a failed attempt at some Starlings. The Hawk ended up catching one a bit later in the day.

#BirdPoker Hiding curated by +Phil Armishaw

Field birds can be tough to find unless you spot motion or if they fly. This American Pipit was hiding in plain site. I had a tough time getting them in my field of view!

#BirdPoker White-Winged curated by +Phil Armishaw

This Greater Scaup has an injured wing so you can really see the white.Even though he hung out right next to an Eagle's nest, he survived for a very long time! He might even still be up there... This photo was taken last April.
