Angry-looking shaking Western Grebe – Nikon D500, f7.1, 1/3200, ISO 500, -0.7 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
I have to admit something… I have never played the game called Angry Birds but I am familiar with the birdy graphics of the game, what bird-loving person wouldn’t be? I’m not even tempted to play the game because it might be addicting and honestly I just don’t have the time to play it but I do enjoy taking photos of birds that kind of look “angry”.
I know that is probably anthropomorphizing but I do allow myself to giggle about birds I think look “angry” and if any of them do this Western Grebe certainly does. I think it is the head on view, how the light only lit up one side of the grebe’s face, the flying water droplets and the shaking movement that all contributed to me thinking that thinking that “this is one angry looking bird”. Of course the grebe isn’t angry at all, it was just shaking the water off of its feathers and doing what birds do.
I’m giggling.
Life is good.

I am always doing that despite the fact that birds’ faces are frozen in place and they simply cannot frown or smile.
He. Looks. Pissed. 😉 Love the head-on shot of the Grebe — too funny!
I would say that looking “angry” fits the bill. Oh-h, no pun intended.
And birds (unlike most people) DO look beautiful when they are angry.
I’m giggling too!
Yep, looks angry
Yes, the grebe does look angry. Cute.
