#BirdOfTheDay #Reflections This bluebird was attacking himself in the side mirror on my car. It was spring; they go a little crazy in the spring. 😊 I took pics, then gently chased it away. He wasn't hurt from his "battle." #Birds #bluebirds #naturephotography #ECK

A Green-headed Tanager pauses while foraging in the Atlantic Forest outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a tiny berry held carefully in its beak. Its colors are hard to ignore, but the little feeding moment is what makes the image for me. #Birds #BirdsOfBlueSky #GreenHeadedTanager #Tanager #Brazil

Male Blue Rock Thrush (eastern subspecies, Monticola solitarius philippensis), Asia and the western Pacific. While they like cliffs, hillsides, ravines for nesting, they'll settle for old brick buildings, concrete structures & quarries. #birds #wildlife #photo #nature

A European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) enjoying a nice bit of breakfast. The alternate Dutch name 'Distelvink', translates to 'thistle finch', rather fitting isn't it? Taken this morning, Vlaardingen, the Netherlands. Enjoy! Putter 🪶 #birdoftheday #yellow #wildlife #photography #finch #sony

It's @rina2012.bsky.social's #SmallbirdSaturday so I figured that I'd post this Asian green bee-eater, also known as the little Green bee-eater! Also fitting for the #ColorADay #GreenSat 😉 #Birds #Photography #ECK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #SonyAlpha

I’ve been seeing fewer Cinereous Tit lately. I’m guessing they’re probably busy with nesting and raising their young. 🤔🪶 #ツピの日 #シジュウカラの日 ニーニーの日の翌日ということで忘れないという利点はある。そして #土アップ 😅 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #CinereousTit #シジュウカラ #birds #野鳥

#Birds ‪Rob ‪Crank‬ says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HeadShots, headshots of any bird. I've chosen a Killdeer with; that orange rimmed eye gets me every time.
