A colorful woodpecker and bluebird at the Monacacy National Battlefield outside Frederick, MD. They both stay active in the winter feeding on insects. The bluebirds are amazing little hunters. Notice the short break, which is for snatching flying things out of the air. They are very good at it, which is why they look round and happy.

A crow in flight, with a snack. People who don't think crows are beautiful just haven't seen them yet. Looks like black metal and the smartest on the beach by far. Crows are cool. #crow #birdsinflight #birds #blackmetal (at Parts Unknown) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8QMlFBxAt/?igshid=1re9lovqkhu73
Talk about having to 'eat and run'. Flying violence erupts when a snack is found and often gets shared with, or taken by others. #birds #birdsinflight (at Gig Harbor, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBak6z6nMy2/?igshid=nfqnwoh6xhmp
Can I help you with something? (Thanks to everyone that follows this page!! Having friends to take on long work trips makes them so much better!!) #birds #gigharbor (at Gig Harbor, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBY9c_Hnr77/?igshid=138pj2hd21aa4

Oh no. They have a teenager! What a nuisance he is. Threw in misc, including the elusive Golden Fly. #birds #stellarsjay #goldenfly (at Gig Harbor, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA7_R7bHWdF/?igshid=10nzgxiygfgrh
It's like a pit stop for flying race cars at a super colony of Cliff Swallows. Some cool facts: - In large colony like this, they exhibit extensive vocalizations to coordinate feeding and safety. This group is very vocal and sings loudly to itself. - They like to blend and feed with other swallow species and will always be the ones feeding at the highest layers. - As a 'parasitic nester' they lay extra eggs in neighboring nests as a survival strategy. Typical brood size is 4, so if you see more in a nest they are raising a sneaky neighbor's kid. Because they are one of the more social birds on the planet, they will raise another's chick without concern even though it means their own will not have enough food and eventually succumb to the neighbor's stronger and healthier kids. (they are still very cute despite such treachery) #birds #birdsinflight #cliffswallow #swallowbird (at A Secret Location!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2k648nLhs/?igshid=1gihfllbwfd7g

As you know, I really like sparrows. Was driving at dusk and noticed more than usual and the perfect environment for a super colony. Took a while, but I found it. It was too dark by then to get any good shots and I didn't have proper camouflage to approach without being a pest. Will go back!! Threw in possum as bonus. Scared me to death climbing over the fence towards me. Lots of scratching, then that face pops up. (at A Secret Location!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CArj4I9HeZT/?igshid=1bn7orizl46l5
Making excellent progress converting a cargo van into a micro, stealth RV. Stripped the relatively new vehicle's interior down to the body so that dampening pads could be bonded to the metal. The next layer after that is sound absorption and thermal insulation. The final layer will be automotive thinsulate. This will take almost a month of labor but critical in order for solar heating/cooling to be feasible. Next up is routing electrical and fluid lines through body cavities from solar panel array on roof and tanks underneath. Made a choice to NOT use spray foam insulation. Going with special type of natural wool as this very small living space needs to be free of all toxins. Even chose a medical-grade cloth tape for closing seams between sound panels. Cost an insane $40/roll, but you could probably eat the stuff. No off gasing to make my customers sick. https://www.instagram.com/p/CApDPOrHeQC/?igshid=tnysilmcsr0m
A "Photo Finish" The herons play leap frog as the quickly receding tide reveals the day's feast. #birdsinflight #birds #heron #washingtonstate #gigharbor (at Gig Harbor, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAly0oNHCCm/?igshid=161jsmy0dycil
This is a fun bird that hops around screaming at everyone and everything prior to showing off some of the worst table manners around. However, when the woodpecker shows up, the Jays settle down and even maintain social distancing while waiting in the chow line. (He's even crazier!) #birds #gigharbor #washingtonstate #stellarsjay #jay #woodpecker (at Gig Harbor, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAcNhaQHOde/?igshid=2w7ryay814l6
American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) Another stock image from a favorite series called, "Family Portraits". NOTE: If you don't recognize your close relative, it's because you haven't lived together for several hundred million years. Despite all that time, we are still the only two species to have a most critical jump in evolution. This is your genetic ability to mimic sound and learn how to communicate with others of your species by doing so. We share the exact same mechanical structure and coding to achieve this as we were once the same creature prior to our split. See the DEEP DIVE below to learn more about this. (The article has some of the most beautiful medical illustrations I have ever seen.) WEB RESOURCE: https://ebird.org/species/amecro CINEMATIC REFERENCE: “People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.” (-Sarah from The Crow) DEEP DIVE: "Only Crows and Humans Can Do It"" http://jonlieffmd.com/blog/human-brain/only-crows-and-humans-can-do-it #crow #birds (at Gig Harbor, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYDN7JHAO-/?igshid=1vyag3mlewhtz
Enjoyed watching the birds feasting and trying to capture the occasional high-speed chase. #birdsinflight #birds #gigharbor #ocean https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fVtc0n_J-/?igshid=ckyst5zbre2i
