-19c & I had been squinting all day to get my 1st look at a snowy owl, nada, then this at sunset tonight! #NorthernSawWhetOwl 1 1/2 hours east of Calgary. Never ever did I expect to see this little one out on the prairies. Asked him if he needed a ride π #BirdsAreBeautiful

I had some super rays of sunshine arrive in my yard today, in brilliant breedin* yellows,8 #birds A pretty rare treat at my house. #AmericanGoldfinch have stopped by for a day or two, generally only for my sunflowers in fall. Iβm still tickled hours later π #BirdsAreBeautiful
When a #NorthernFlicker wants to show off their β€οΈβs I take the invitation. This yellow shafted female has been a humorous welcome guest the past few days π #BirdsAreBeautiful distractions for me.
Everyoneβs getting their winter floof on, freezing house finch hiding out of the -23c windchill today. Actual temp around -13c. He looks very pink so puffed up, more red when not so,puffy. #BirdsAreBeautiful
Clip from my little #bird world this morning, Dad teaching the kids tricks of the βflickingβ trade π₯° #NorthernFlicker hybrid family, Dad appears to be in charge of the 4 chicks. Long but worth it! #BirdsAreBeautiful #NeverStopFlicking

Blue is the new everything here! If you have big baby blue jays as I do, you know they command your attention to their every need π€£ #BirdsAreBeautiful
A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on her own wings.
Happy National Bird Day! π¦
