Swede’s Photographs

Mystical Grackle

When we’re out walking, I’m always scanning for birds, especially species that aren’t common in the area. I spotted this blackbird as it settled beneath a distant pine tree. The challenge of photographing a bird from afar, especially while holding the camera off-hand, is that I’m never quite sure whether I’ve focused on the bird itself or its surroundings. In this case, it was likely the latter—making me almost hesitant to share the shot. Still, the iridescent blue tint on the head and tail of this common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) is striking.

If you enjoy wildlife and nature photography, check out my photo gallery here:

"The image features a common grackle standing on a forest floor covered in dry pine needles, leaves, and patches of green moss. The bird’s head gleams with an iridescent blue sheen, contrasting with its darker body feathers. The focus is slightly soft, adding a mysterious, almost dreamlike quality to the scene. The signature "Swede's Photographs" appears in the bottom left corner, marking the image’s origin." - Copilot

Meine lieben Lebensformen,
Ende Mai, Anfang Juni wandern die nordamerikanischen Flussheringe zurück in die Flüsse um dort zu laichen. Ein kleineres Spektakel im Vergleich zu den Lachswanderungen. Aber Möwen und Fischadler freuen sich drauf.
So auch dieser Fischadler in Maine.

Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage.
Bleibt gesund, glücklich und verliebt.

Der schlimmste Seelenschmerz ist das Fernweh.

Hello my dear life forms,

At the end of May, beginning of June, the Alewifes migrate back into the rivers to spawn. A smaller spectacle compared to the salmon migrations. But gulls and ospreys look forward to it.
Like this osprey in Maine.

Animals are friends, not food or a nuisance.
Stay healthy, happy and in love.

The most terrible pain in the soul is wanderlust.

Swede’s Photographs

Urban Survivor

While walking with Charlie, I spotted a small bird perched on a fence we passed. Uncertain of its species, I paused to take a closer look. As it turns out, it was a fairly common female house sparrow (Passer domesticus). The composition of the scene, with its natural tones and quiet simplicity, isn't too bad.

If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection. Feel free to explore!

"The image captures a female house sparrow perched delicately on the bottom rung of a black wrought iron fence. The dark metal contrasts beautifully with her soft, earthy tones, making her presence even more striking. Small patches of lichen cling to the iron, adding texture and hints of green to the otherwise monochromatic structure. Her compact frame is adorned with subtle shades of brown and gray, blending harmoniously with the environment. Her underbelly is a pale, muted tone, while the feathers on her back display intricate patterns of warm browns and gentle streaks. She grips the cold metal firmly with her tiny claws, exuding both fragility and quiet resilience. Her beady, dark eyes shine with curiosity, and her petite, pointed beak is poised as if she’s mid-thought. The sunlight filters through the surroundings, casting soft highlights across her delicate features. Though she lacks the bold markings of a male house sparrow, there is an undeniable elegance in her understated beauty." - Copilot
