A bit of serendipity for the photographers on NT.

A young greenfinch gets scolded, human legs propel a batfish forward, and a kangaroo shreds on an air guitar in this year's Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. Created in 2015, the annual contest (previously) is an effort to empathize with the wildlife around us while calling to attention the threats they face. With thousands of entries from around the world every year, the deluge of delightful images serves as a reminder that animals and humans have plenty in common, from idiosyncratic personas and comical clumsiness to the Earth we share.
A gallery showcasing the 2023 finalists is available on the competition’s website , where there is still time to vote for the People’s Choice Award.

Unfortunately you just have to be in the right place, at the right time. The only way to get these kind of shots is to carry a camera everywhere, all the time. Not too difficult with cell phones.
Neat. I love wildlife photos like this.
I've had a bald eagle hanging around my house for at least the last two months. I'm hoping it is not eyeing my chickens as a meal source.
I don't know if it didn't migrate for some reason or headed south very early this year. It is usually at least January before we have bald eagles in my area of SW Missouri.
