I haven’t posted for a while…been too busy birding! The last few days have were spent doing dawn seawatches with amazing sunrises and mid-day hawk watches. Yesterday’s rewards were Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel, Parasitic Jaeger, and Broad-winged Hawk. #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #birdphotography

Grandala. Sichuan, China This bird isn’t blue! The eye-searing sapphire hue is entirely an optical illusion created by structural keratin that reflects short, high-energy wavelengths that humans perceive as blue. There’s no blue pigment. #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #birdphotography #Nikon

Himalayan Owl. Sichuan, China When nesting in tree cavities or rock crevices, they swallow their prey completely whole. They then regurgitate the indigestible fur and bones inside the cavity to help line and cushion their nests. #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #birdphotography #Nikon
