- Great Green Macaws are flashy, colorful birds but I wanted a photo that was different from most, so I focused on the back feathers of a captive bird showing the intricate details of individual feathers. What do you think? © Sandra Blair #birds #photography #feathers #macaw #birdphotography
- A Whooping Crane in flight was photographed near Rockport TX. This was a lifer for me! © Sandra Blair

- Most people photograph the male Red-winged Blackbirds because they are 'flashy' with their black plumage and the red and gold epaulettes on their shoulders. I prefer the females and their soft, beautiful plumage. © Sandra Blair #birds #photography #redwingedblackbird #birdphotography

- I bet you have but thought it was a different bird. It took me a long time to realize what they were.
- A Great Egret in breeding plumage causes ‘powder down’ to float in the air. It is from special feathers that disintegrate into a fine powder which collects on the beak as they preen and is used to clean, waterproof, and maintain their plumage. © Sandra Blair #birds #photography #egret #greategret

- Running late today! Reddish Egrets have two color variations, a dark morph which is grey with a reddish-orange neck and head and a rarer white morph with all white plumage. I have a new long post on Substack about Reddish Egrets here if interested in learning more: substack.com/home/post/p-...

- I fear he is already dead from gang violence at the prison and they won't admit it. They purposely put him in a cell with the gang members that were threatening his life when he left the country.
