@Dahna@mastodon.social It’s an artifact of the lighting in that shady space. They are actually just gray.
@sciencebase@mastodon.social Yes, a male Merlin of the Taiga subspecies (F. c. columbarius).
@peachfront@toot.community Don’t be too jealous, the caption is incorrect. This is actually a Parasitic Jaeger; I had the right tag in the metadata, but failed to look at that before I posted this morning!
@rain_worl@lemmy.world All pictures posted on my account are my pictures, unless otherwise noted. And I have no clue how to nominate it for wikimedia commons. Can you elaborate, or point me toward a site that will guide me?
@edwilk@mstdn.social Good story! If it was a dark-morph Western (calurus) redtail, it probably had a lot of red on the tail; hopefully it took off and showed him that tail!
