Good morning, Bluesky! A crisp, cool morning to start the work week in the Seattle area. 📸Theresa Arbow O'Conner

The Gila Woodpecker is the official woodpecker of my backyard but I took this picture at the Paton Center for Hummingbirds and I have no clue what species is their official woodpecker

Too close for the lens! Here is a closeup of a Rock Squirrel at the Paton Center for Hummingbirds I was trying for a closeup and this squirrel came close

Broad-billed Hummingbird perching on a feeder at the Paton Center for Hummingbirds in Patagonia, Arizona Check out the sparkly colors!

This is one of the resident Violet-crowned Hummingbirds at the Paton Center for Hummingbirds in Patagonia, Arizona According to the volunteer, Violet-crowned are only found in Mexico and at the Paton Center for Hummingbirds I'm not sure that's true, but I will investigate further

I was reminded of something...

Good Morning! Have a wonderful Monday! @stormhour.com @thephotohour.bsky.social @panophotos.bsky.social

Gulf Fritillary butterfly at the Paton Center for Hummingbirds in Patagonia, Arizona

This Violet-crowned Hummingbird picked out this spot inside a bush from which to attack any hummingbird that came anywhere near the feeder

For #BlueSkyMonday, this Great Blue Heron has some new #blue attributes in time for breeding season--a navy blue plume flowing from the back of the head and a bright blue lore from the eye to the beak! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit! Happy March 1st to those that celebrate. Spring is on the way and more daylight for those in the northern lats. Or less daylight and summer heat for those in the southern latitudes.

Alan H says: Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PerfectLighting a bird capture in good lighting. The Alt theme is #Finches #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited A male Green-winged Teal has a stretch in lighting that was just right!

Good Morning! Have a fabulous Monday! @stormhour.com @thephotohour.bsky.social @panophotos.bsky.social

Female rufous hummingbird on final approach to the hummingbird feeder She is the second migratory hummer this year in my backyard The first was a male rufous about a week ago Everybody likes their feet So look at the feet!

This is a female ladder-backed woodpecker She is in the big mesquite tree in my backyard At some point she must have pecked at something too hard The upper beak if fractured with the tip missing

One of our resident Anna's hummingbirds flying in his natural environment Weirdly, he did not try to attack the female rufous hummingbird who stopped by

Finch Friday! Here's a finch Look close to see all the colors Their color depends on what they eat Somehow the sunflower seed is going to turn into that

Daily Hummingbird! Male Anna's aimlessly flying around like he has no plan

Rob Crank says: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth, your bird captures you like best from February, the Alt theme is #Pigeons&Doves. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited My favourite photo in February is probably this male Wood Duck with a perfect reflection.
