Per Rob, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Groups, groups of 4 or more birds (can be different species). The Alternative theme is #Pigeons A Pectoral Sandpiper in the middle of a group of Long-billed Dowitchers--safety in numbers! Also works for #WaderWednesday! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #groups, and I can think of few birds that are more impressive in a group than pelicans. Even more so when they show off while feeding! #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography 🪶

For #BirdOfTheDay, Trumpeter Swans make rather impressive #splashes when they land. #EastCoastKin #naturephotography 🪶

One of my oldest photographs of birds and always one of my favourites for todays #BirdOfTheDay theme #CootsandMoorhens. Hope you like it too. #Austria #WillTravel4Birds #birds

How can you not love coots? Those ridiculous feet, those striking red eyes. Just cool birds all around. #BirdOfTheDay #CootsandMoorhens #EastCoastKin 🪶

Petals are pretty, but thorns make you strong. 🕉️ Have a sweet #Wrensday #BlueSky! 🤘😶‍🌫️ 📸 Cactus Wren 🪶🌿 #HumpDay #BirdLovers #LookingAtYou #Photography #EastCoastKin

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideView, and this Eastern Towhee is showing off both her side view and her pensive side. #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography 🪶

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #songbirds, so our often under-appreciated Song Sparrow seems like the perfect fit. These cheery little guys sing their hearts out and are also expert borbs! #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography 🪶

Today's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #warblers, and the striking Black-throated Green Warbler is one of my favorites. #EastCoastKin #naturephotography #birds

Beautiful as the image is, there is no tree of life. The shape of biodiversity is more like a chaotic blanket, individual threads splitting, being snipped off, branching again, creating an incredible tangle of species that are both discrete and connected. ~Riley Black #BlueSkyMonday #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

The world in which the kestrel moves, the world that it sees, is, and always will be, entirely beyond us. That there are such worlds all around us is an essential feature of our world. ~Mary Midgley 🕉️ #BirdOfTheDay #BirdOnAWire #BirdsOfPrey #BirdLovers #Raptors #Photography

An orange-crowned warbler perched in a shrub at the edge of the marsh, trying to ignore the little bundles of chaos that are yellow-rumped warblers that completely take over the shrubs this time of year. #birds
