Summer Tanager arrives creekside for a drink and bath. Did you know these red beauties are talented bee and wasp catchers who beat them against an object and remove their stinger before eating them? #summertanager #tanager #tanagers #raleighncbirds #raleighncbirding #raleighncwildlife #raleighncnature #nutsaboutbirds #birdnerd #birdlover #naturenerd #naturelover #durantnaturepark #durantnaturepreserve #redbird #anythingfeathered
This sweet little Blue-gray Gnatcatcher is nesting nearby, just a couple mile bike ride from home. Incredible how this tiny being can build a nest to blend into the surrounding branches, to be hidden in plain sight. Nature is miraculous! 🪺 #bluegraygnatcatcher #bluegreygnatcatcher #bluegraygnatcatchernest #gnatcatcher #gnatcatcherbird #gnatcatchernest #birding #birdnerd #birdcaptures #birdlovers #neuserivertrail #raleighncbirds #raleighncnature #cyclingwildlifephotographer #yearofthetrail
Saw this Killdeer and his mate in the parking lot at my work and I just had to capture seeing them in such an odd environment. #birdingatwork #killdeerbird #raleighncbirds #shorebirdsphotography #nikonbirdphotography #nikoncoolpixp950 #nikonshooters #ncbirding #nckilldeer
