Swede’s Photographs

Over the Top

I’m an old soldier—or at least I was, in what feels like a different lifetime. This photograph is one of my earlier captures, and the bird’s posture and focused expression remind me of a World War I soldier climbing over the trenches, or perhaps the infantry motto: 'Follow Me.' The bird is a male indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea), which belongs to the family Cardinalidae, alongside cardinals.

Explore stunning images of indigo buntings and other vibrant members of the Cardinalidae family by visiting my photo gallery here:

"This image features a stunning male indigo bunting perched on a slender branch, its vibrant blue plumage glowing in the natural light. The bird's posture, as it faces and leans slightly to the right, gives the impression that it is climbing or carefully navigating along the branch. Surrounding the bunting are additional branches adorned with dried seed pods, adding texture and depth to the composition. The soft, blurred background of greens and yellows creates a serene and harmonious setting, allowing the rich blue tones of the bird to truly stand out. A watermark reading "© Swede's Photographs" is elegantly placed near the bottom center, crediting the photographer for this beautiful capture. It's a lively yet peaceful moment from nature!" - Copilot

Predator

I’m not sure what species of dragonfly this is, but it certainly caught the attention of the northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos). From the mockingbird’s perspective, their interaction seems to be going quite well!

"The Northern Mockingbird enjoys making its presence known. It usually sits conspicuously on high vegetation, fences, eaves, or telephone wires, or runs and hops along the ground. Found alone or in pairs throughout the year, mockingbirds aggressively chase off intruders on their territory." - allaboutbirds.org

Using the Force (and a bit of charm), I'm guiding you to my photo gallery at:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

"This image features a northern mockingbird perched on a branch amidst vibrant green foliage. The bird’s grayish-brown back and crisp white underparts are beautifully highlighted, along with the distinctive white patches on its wings. Adding a dynamic touch, the mockingbird is holding an insect—possibly a bee or wasp—in its beak, showcasing its foraging behavior. Its bright yellow eye stands out, and the bird appears alert as it gazes slightly to the right. The lush greenery in the background enhances the natural setting, giving the image a lively yet serene quality. A watermark in the bottom left corner, reading "© Swede's Photographs," credits the photographer and adds a professional flair." - Copilot
