For today's birds #OnTheGround theme set, let's go with an American Coot with its weird Coot Feet, a Sandhill Crane baby with wings akimbo, an (underrated) Spotted Towhee, and a quail on snowy ground. #birds #BirdOfTheDay #birdphotography

My #least photographed bird is the killdeer, whose species name of Charadrius vociferous sounds like a Harry Potter spell. I invite you to chant that out loud and see what happens. I bet you'll at least giggle at yourself. #birds #birdoftheday #birdphotography #killdeer

One more for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #StandingOnThings just under the wire. This crow landed on the hood of my car and gave me stink eye through the windshield for 6 minutes straight while I munched on an Egg McMuffin in a McD's parking lot. Too judgy. #birds

Rob‘s @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingOnThings -- Here are two of the red-winged blackbird that fell in love with my husband. #birds #photography

Chose the alternate #Birdoftheday, #Finches, because my grebe shots are distant/blurry. Delighted by this guy on a little walk in White Rock, BC. #birds @robcrank68.bsky.social

For the #birdoftheday theme of #gulls (with a bonus that I found this encounter to be #funny), here's a visit from one of our neighbors. Very inquisitive as he peered inside our 13th floor condo. Just phone captures since it happened quickly. Also, I tried to paint the dude. #birds #photography

For #BirdOfTheDay, #DailyDouble, and #TwosDay, I chose this pair of yellow-headed Amazon Parrots (named Chico and Pedra) at the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver. They look like they were judging and gossiping about me! #birds

Sharing a set of Great Blue Herons for #birdoftheday #heron #birds -- these are enjoying a pond and flying over the marshes at the George Riefel Bird Sanctuary in Delta, BC.

Here's a few of a Great Blue Heron seen at the marina in Gibsons, BC, for #birdoftheday #heron #birds

Meet Art, the #colorful blue and gold macaw at the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver, BC. #birds #bc #birdphotography #birdoftheday

#BirdOfTheDay is about the color #Black, any bird with Black on its head/body #birds A sweet Chickadee, a Red-winged Blackbird, a Spotted Towhee, and a quick little watercolor I did.

My favorite, the black capped chickadee! Three buddies from the George Riefel Bird Sanctuary...and one of my newest tattoo. #birdoftheday #birds #paridae #birdphotography

For #birdoftheday here's a gull at the White Rock, BC pier with a #beakful of purple starfish! #birds

Some pretty needing tree swallows this morning at George C. Riefel Bird Sanctuary in BC. #birds #birdphotography

Gonna shake it up from my birdies with some of my favorite botanical photos I've taken. Grape leaf anemone at our local Darts Hills Garden Park. #BritishColumbia #flower #bcphotography

It was so much fun to spot our first California Quail with its bobbing topknot foraging for seeds near the base of trees in snowy Twisp, Washington, this past December. #birds #birdphotography

I love iridescent male Mallard heads and the vibrant purple stripe. This dude was posing like it was his job! #birds #bc

A quiet morning for this colorful Wood Duck at George C. Reifel Bird Sanctuary. #birds #bc

Throwback to Summer 2024, when our favorite Sandhill Crane pair had their fluffy babes. We lucked out encountering them on the trail and sat quietly watching them snack together. #birds

A goldenrod perch for a cutie-pie Song Sparrow in Delta BC. #birds

This is Kramer, a 23+ year old Moluccan Cockatoo now living his best life at the wonderful Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver (at Queen Elizabeth Park). He says, "I'm Kramer!" and "How ya doin'?" as well as some colorful phrases he may have picked up while living at a frat house! #birds

Oooh, the red eyes of a Spotted Towhee in Delta, BC. Pretty birds, but those eyes sure are somethin' else! #birds

My favorite little guys on the trail, Black Capped Chickadees. They zip in and out for quick nibbles and follow us along the walk. Had a sweet moment with this one. Searching for designs for a chickadee tattoo. #birds

Enjoying the bright green foot of the American Coot. CootFoot! #birds

Loads of Red Winged Blackbirds about at the migratory bird sanctuary this morning, catching the sunshine! #birds

Great Blue Heron on our favorite George Riefel Bird Sanctuary trail. #addBirder #birds
