Day 10 counting down my favorite images of 2025... Still all birds so far 😁 #51 the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas TX, was loaded with diversity and many subjects to photograph in March. Including this beautiful Tricolored Heron.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Least, here is a bird I’ve only seen once, the Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata) above Yaquina head along the Oregon coast. The Pacific birds are the brightest in coloration. 📷🪶🧡💛

One of my #least photographed #birds is this wattled guan at Ucumarí Regional Park in Colombia, a bird I've only seen once. The guide was very excited to find it, and it was so far back in the trees that it took me half an hour of maneuvering to get a single decent photo. #BirdOfTheDay

Does this count @robcrank68.bsky.social? #StandingOnThings #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #EastCoastKin

A Toco Toucan evades a Great Kiskadee mid-flight in Brazil's Pantanal. What many don't realize is that toucans are opportunistic raiders. They'll steal eggs and chicks from other birds' nests.

Golden-browed Euphonia was one of the reasons we came back to #bird Costa Rica again. Saw one this morning and it did not dissappoint.

Cinnamon Bee-eater is a striking bird feeds mainly on bees, wasps, and other flying insects, caught skillfully in midair. Found in forests, farmlands, and near water. markscheflen.com #birdphotography #biodiversity #BirdsSeenIn2025 #birds #bird Photographed #bwindiimpenetrableforest #uganda
