Osprey!
Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons. 𓅚

The Northern Harrier is distinctive from a long distance away: a slim, long-tailed hawk gliding low over a marsh or grassland, holding its wings in a V-shape and sporting a white patch at the base of its tail. Up close it has an owlish face that helps it hear mice and voles beneath the vegetation. Each gray-and-white male may mate with several females, which are larger and brown. These unusual raptors have a broad distribution across North America.

This is the American Coot! The waterborne American Coot is one good reminder that not everything that floats is a duck. A close look at a coot—that small head, those scrawny legs—reveals a different kind of bird entirely. Their dark bodies and white faces are common sights in nearly any open water across the continent, and they often mix with ducks. But they’re closer relatives of the gangly Sandhill Crane and the nearly invisible rails than of Mallards or teal. When a baby Coot is born, these premature birds have their feathers and are already able to hunt on their own after hatching!

this is a barn owl! Barn owls like other owls are nocturnal, meaning they come out to hunt for their dinner, or in this case breakfast, at night! owls can see incredibly in the dark, and their pupils can grow up to 90% of the size of their eyes!! for the best vision ;)

I love birds :) my favorite of all time is the northern flicker! A woodpecker that has a preference of scavenging for food the the forest floor rather than in the trees 𓅃
