#birds #nature #wildlife #egret Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongNecks, birds with long necks. This Great Egret certainly has a long neck. And long legs. And a long body. And it's way over there, a long way from this side of the pond. 😄

#birds #nature #wildlife #catbird The #BirdOfTheDay theme for today is #Woodland, birds you might find in woodlands. This Gray Catbird seems to prefer hanging around at the edge of the woods where it can find seeds and berries in the bushes and maybe some bugs in the yard. ☺️

#birds #nature #wildlife #osprey Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdButt. I recently encountered a pair of Ospreys along the Illinois River. I wanted a cool side-by-side bird photo, but as long as I waited, one or the other turned its backside to me. So this is the best we're going to get... 😊

#birds #nature #wildlife #migration #merlin I ran the #TenMinMerlin about a half hour before sunset. I'm in a residential neighborhood, edge of town, across the street from a small but dense wooded ravine. The variety of birds I get here is remarkable. Oh, the Chipping Sparrows are back! 😀

#birds #wildlife #nature #raptor #hawk #coopershawk Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ManMadePerch, any bird perched on a man made object. Well it doesn't get much more "man made" than an automobile. Here's a Cooper's Hawk, apparently aware of the theme, posing pretty on the roof of a car. 😁

#birds #wildlife #nature #blackbird Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlackHeads, any bird with black on its head. This Red-winged Blackbird has black almost everywhere 'cept those gorgeous red and yellow epaulets. When these birds start singin, we know spring has arrived in Illinois. ☺️

#birds #nature #wildlife #merlin I ran the #TenMinMerlin this morning to see who is in the neighborhood. Good collection. The Eurasian Tree Sparrows are becoming more common here in central Illinois, so if you see a bunch of House Sparrows in the yard, give them a closer look. You never know. 😊

#birds #wildlife #nature #dickcissel The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #RareEncounters, birds captured least in your camera roll. Although the Dickcissel is not an uncommon bird in my area, my luck, right place right time, didn't bring a camera, etc., makes it uncommon in my pics collection. ☺️

#birds #nature #wildlife #gallinule Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Black&Red. And with so many choices that fit the theme, I'm posting this whole family of Common Gallinules seen at Emiquon a few years ago. The youngsters are so cute with that little red bald spot on top of their heads. 😀

#birds #nature #wildlife #grosbeak Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Feathers, showcasing the beauty and intricacies of feathers. This Rose-breasted Grosbeak would not sit still for a proper photo, but he did give us a quick look at all that red under his wings, a feature not often noticed. 🙂

#birds #nature #wildlife #hummingbird Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SmallBirdsInFlight - birds duck-sized or smaller caught in flight. This impatient Ruby-throated Hummingbird is about as small as a bird can be. And no, he was not going to wait 'til I got the feeder hung up. 😀

#birds #wildlife #nature #merlin #birdwatching Calm gray day in central Illinois. Rain last night & more tonight. Got a great variety on the #TenMinMerlin. I'm edge of town, woodsy, a mile from a healthy creek, 5 miles from a migratory route river. We get a little bit of everything! ☺️

#birds #nature #wildlife #woodpecker The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Weather, a favorite shot in any weather we can see. This Red-bellied Woodpecker doesn't look too happy about hanging around in the rain waiting for his human to put more peanuts in the feeder. 😬

#birds #nature #wildlife #hawk #redtailed Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LargeBirdsInFlight. Here is a Red-tailed Hawk making it obvious why we call him a Red-tailed Hawk. 😊

#birds #wildlife #nature #nuthatch Today's #BirdofTheDay theme is #Snacks, any bird eating. This White-breasted Nuthatch knew where the good stuff was... for almost 5 years! If we weren't out in the yard when he came, he'd walk back and forth on the window sill to get our attention. 😄

#birds #nature #wildlife #cardinal Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RuffledFeathers, any bird with feathers out of place. This Northern Cardinal is posing on the lamp post on a breezy day. Sure, his crest is a bit unruly, but I like that sort of casual, carefree styling. 😄

#birds #nature #wildlife #TenMinMerlin this morning in central Illinois shows a pretty good assortment. We didn't hear a Junco but we did get a White-throated Sparrow. They will both be leaving our area and heading north any time now.

#birds #nature #wildlife #downy #woodpecker Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AdultsWithChicks, any photo of an adult bird with its young. This immature male Downy Woodpecker's red patch is still on top of his head. As he matures it will move toward the back and he'll look like his father there. ☺️

#birds #wildlife #nature #nuthatch The #BirdOfTheDay theme for today is #Blue, any bird with blue in its coloring. Though we often think of a White-breasted Nuthatch as being mostly gray, they are as blue as any Blue Heron. So this White-breasted Nuthatch is what you're going to get today... 😄

#birds #nature #wildlife #bluejay Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, any bird with it's wings open but not in flight. I used to keep some peanuts by the window to throw out when the Blue Jays were around. This guy figured it out and didn't want to wait for me to toss one. 😋

#birds #TenMinMerlin found a good assortment this morning in central Illinois. I turned it on when I heard an American Crow, but then it stopped cawing. 🤨 I've had White-throated Sparrows on almost every Merlin all winter. Not today. Might be the last of 'em has headed north. Still have Juncos. 😊

#birds #nature #wildlife #robin The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Speckled, any bird with speckled markings. This juvenile American Robin is a speckled bird on a speckled background. He's almost camouflaged, but if you look real close I think you can see him. 🤪

#birds #nature #wildlife #swallows Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OpenBeak, any bird with its beak open. How 'bout a whole bunch of open beaks? Here's a nest full of hungry baby Barn Swallows. Won't someone please bring us some bugs for breakfast? ☺️

#birds #nature #wildlife #killdeer Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Tricolour, birds with three colors or more. We may not think of a Killdeer as a very colorful bird, but black, white, and brown it is. And that's three colors! Here's a Killdeer looking quite content in its natural habitat. 😀

#birds #nature #wildlife #hummingbird Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Preeners&Scratchers, any bird preening/scratching itself. This Ruby-throated Hummingbird moves his wings at over 50 beats per second, so every feather must be in its proper place. Going for a short reach with that long beak! 😀

#birds #nature #wildlife Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Migratory, birds that migrate to or from your area. These American White Pelicans are some of North America's largest birds. Flocks of hundreds can be seen in spring and fall as they migrate north and south along the Illinois River. 😊

#birds #wildlife #nature #barredowl #owl Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LookingAtMe, birds looking at you. This juvenile Barred Owl is staying pretty well hidden, but he's watching. Would he come out where I could get a better photo? No. Is he still as cute as can be? Yes. 😊
