A rainy day capture of male Red-winged Blackbirds on cattails fits the #BirdOfTheDay theme today ( #natural any bird in its natural habitat) pretty perfectly. Alt is #city any birds in a city environment. #birds PS the dark blotch in the upper left is another Blackbird.

#birdoftheday New Zealand's Endangered Blue Duck (Whio)in its natural #habitat, a rushing stream. Whio is the Maori name and is pronounced with an initial "f" sound. I looked for this bird all over NZ, before coming upon this family (2 adults and two ducklings)

A Coal Tit in its #natural habitat is my #BirdOfTheDay today.

#BirdOfTheDay is a young Red-tailed Hawk in a #Natural setting. Photographed in western Pennsylvania, USA. Also qualifies for #MoodyFaces #birds

A rook waiting for its next meal. Clever and opportunistic birds. Rooks often get together at dawn and dusk for those great noisy displays. #birds #birdoftheday #nature #naturephotography #rook

#Feathers&Form is the theme for #BirdOfTheDay. I thought this hummingbird’s feathers were worthy as their feathers diffract the sunlight into a rainbow of colors. #birds #RainbowWings

Back #home on the #KapitiCoast of #NewZealand for the next five weeks. #scape #EastCoastKin

I think the feathers of the sandhill crane are so elegantly arranged and colored - gray and gold, with those fabulous bustle-like tail feathers. #BirdOfTheDay #feathersAndForm #birds

#BirdOfTheDay theme for today is #SpecklesAndSpots - weird how @alan678.bsky.social#BirdOfTheDay#SpecklesAndSpotsas able to use an ampersand in that hashtag but I can’t. Anyway! Here’s a bird I expect we’ll see a lot of today with this theme, the European starling.

@alan678.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay is #Snowy - here is a Snowy Sheathbill sitting in the snow #Birds #SouthGeorgia #Wildlife #EastCoastKin #Snow

So folks Rob has asked me to cover today’s #BirdOfTheDay as he had a very late night. Today’s theme on the hop is #snowy bird captures or #goldenhour bird captures. I took this early morning today. Good luck folks. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Another entry for today’s #BirdOfTheDay is this northern mockingbird, taken in the #GoldenHour just after sunrise in my favorite birding spot. #birds #EastCoastKin

Today’s main #BirdOfTheDay theme is #snowy - this downy woodpecker was “drinking” a bit of snow in the bitter depths of last winter. ❄️ #birds #EastCoastKin

Hearing the call of a gambel's quail is one of my favorite sounds of nature. For the #birdoftheday theme of #goldenhour, here is one at dawn that was calling to others as the day began. #birds #quail #gambelsquail #nature #wildlife #protectnature #photography #EastCoastKin

A winter’s moment ❄️🌲📸 #winter #snow #Scotland

This is the only photo I have or will post that wasn’t taken by me. Photo credit to my brother Richard; that is me watching the sunrise over Narragansett Bay one chilly morning years ago. This is my mood going into the #NewYear #hopeful #open #blueskyartshow #EastCoastKin

Hello friends. I am abandoning my #ChristmasCardinal project after today as 1) I’ve run out of good photos of male cardinals and haven’t been able to replenish, and 2) Whatever holiday spirit I had is gone after the events of the last few days, and the state of this country and the world in general.
