I'd been wanting to take a picture of a California quail, and I finally got one. That's uh, pretty much that entire story. 📷🌿🪶

I have a nest box behind my house where I have tried to get some Kestrels to nest. This is the second time I got Tawny Owls instead. Can't complain too much I think. Saw these two cuties pop up last night. They told me they where qualified for Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme. #birds

A rather distant shot of a Zitting Cisticola aka Fan-tailed Warbler | Cistícola buitrón (Cisticola juncidi). So named because in its bouncy flight it emits a "zit" every second or so! Photo #Arrocampo, #Extremadura, SW Spain. #SmallBirdSaturday #birds #ECK #NaturePhotography @javajanegallery.co.uk

You have to look hard, but a Laughing Gull’s bill has a lot of #red in it. Check it out. One of the nice benefits of #birdphotography are the surprising #littledetails I think one of my bird “models” might have red eyes. Now I gotta look in the archive. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #EastCoastKin

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Grassland. A northern rough-winged swallow. Apparently, the plainest swallow in Northern America. But I think it's beautiful. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

Tawny owl in Scotland last week #UKwildlife #birds

I figured I’d combine @alan678.bsky.social’s two #BirdOfTheDay themes with this #NorthernCardinal hanging out on the lawn near a parking area. #Grasslands #red #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
