Living out in the woods, we have feeders set up everywhere. 

Set up a tripod last fall.

We also have eagles, osprey, various hawks, out in the lower fields, and nearby lake.

 

The last backyard bird count, we figured over the course of a year we get well over 50 different species of birds, either migrating through, or full time residents. 

 

Feed store gets a good chunk of $$$ from us on a regular basis.

The BEST use of wildlife. Whenever the Toledo Walleye score a goal walleye get tossed on the ice.

Ive been trying to get close to these eagles for a few months now, spent hours waiting for them to fish in the creek below their nest but they mostly just perch when I'm around... this shot was when one of them returned to the nest one morning...I had just pulled up and luckily my camera was on the seat next to me, grabbed it and ran to the back of the jeep and shot just as he was landing.

 I think these are cormorants... kind of a freaky bird. like the blue heron they remind me of dinosaurs in how they look and behave... I can't imagine these things ancestors were 12 feet tall - crazy!

I always liked the Woodstork but no good shots of them in any bird galleries I've been to. Love their prehistoric look. I have some Whooping cranes that visit the farm daily. They are really cool. Florida is one giant bird sanctuary.

Damn fine shootin' fellas.  Nat Geo quality.

I found a remote lake out in SW Kansas.  Big ass birds diving into the water and hauling out fish.  I assumed they were some type of eagle or hawk.  Nope.  Turkey Vultures.  They don't skim and grab...they just drop feet first and snag a fish.  I've seen vultures my whole life.  Scavengers...dead coons, possums, armadillos, dead deer.  Never knew them to catch "live" prey.

I'll try to catch them in the act and show ya.

This is a South African Pigmy Kingfisher I snapped with my iPhone. It was stunned after hitting the kitchen window but moments later flew off.

That’s probably one of the coolest mantises I’ve seen. Never seen one that color before.
