Backyard birding.
My fiancé calls me with a loud "SHHHH... they quail family is in the backyard."
So, these are shot through our rear slider door with a whopping 200mm (my longest) but I thought they turned out ok.

The yellow bird is a finch.

Autofocus is still a bit finicky but it is a whole better after the update that addressed alot of the issues when the phone was released...

Elf Owl, Madera Canyon, Santa Rita Mountains, AZ

Another owl this morning: a Northern Pygmy Owl bringing food to the nest. This is probably the male. He was calling to the chicks, trying to entice them to leave the nest. I don't know how far along the chicks are but it seems early for them to fledge. Madera Canyon, Santa Rita Mountains, AZ ( a couple hundred yards from where the elf owl pic was taken).

Eyes on the back of head…

He's got a fatty lizard for lunch.

@IronWing What are you shooting with? That's quite some zoom to get these shots.

Sony RX10 v4, it has a 24-600mm equivalent zoom.

Was it carrying these?

 

[CuriousMike]

I have this wonderful Nikon Z6 at home and my little m43 Panasonic gets all the glory.
m43 really is a pretty capable system, and these are all shot with the kit lens.

I didn't see any...they might have been stashed in the cargo hold though...

The kind that you nuke from orbit.

 

[CuriousMike]

Which species of snakes?

The rattlesnake looking snakes (triangle heads) are Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes.
The orange eyed snake is a Pacific Gophersnake.

My attempts to take pics of incoming airliners this morning was foiled by low cloud cover but I did catch this guy...He must have liked me as he gave me time to switch to manual focus after seeing my frustration that the autofocus kept selecting the branches in front of him... LOL

I was out today getting some much needed exercise and sun and took a bunch of random pics at the park:



an old gnarled weeping willow:



and some geese and ducks:
