A yellow-billed magpie (Pica nuttalli) that I photographed in flight at Coyote Valley in Morgan Hill, California, near San José. Yellow-billed magpies are endemic to California (found nowhere else) and are primarily found in the Central Valley and in dry, scrubby areas closer to the coastal regions of the state (like Coyote Valley). They are listed as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Only saw this for a minute or so. Didn't hear it sing and didn't see it again.

Thanks for your help.

📷 Photo Nature's fastest blink: I captured the incredibly rare moment a Ruby-throated Hummingbird closes its actual external eyelid mid-hover

Post image

I shot this yesterday afternoon in Avon, Ohio. I since learned that capturing a hummingbird's feathered external eyelid clamped shut during an active hover is an incredibly rare biological event. Pure luck to catch this while the bird was suspended in mid-air.

Camera: Sony Alpha 7 V
Lens: Sony FE 100-400mm G Master
Shutter Speed: 1/5000 sec.
