Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LookingAtYou This one is just for fun. Ms. Ozzie exerting mind control over me to get a cantaloupe seed. It worked, I gave her one.

From @robcrank68.bsky.social today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LookingAtYou, any bird staring at you & Alt theme is #NewLife, any newly hatched chick. These Northern Mockingbird juveniles knew exactly where my camera was. And they were hungry! Texas.

It's @alan678.bsky.social turn to host #BirdOfTheDay and his theme is #BadFeatherDay, wind blown birds, rain soaked etc. The alt is #LMNOP any bird with any of these letters at the beginning of any part of their name. Molting or bathing can both result in bad feather days for these cardinals.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #FoodInBeaks, any bird with food in its beak, the Alt Theme is #Green, any bird with Green in its plumage. Great Blue Heron having fish for lunch.

Alan @alan678.bsky.social theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #HiddenInPlainSight, birds partially concealed by foliage, the Alt Theme is #DappledLight, a capture with patchy sunlight or shadows. You'd think a Northern Cardinal male would be hard to miss, but this guy knows how to hide.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections, any bird reflection clear or rippled, the Alt Theme is #Fringillidae, any of the species will do. Mallard drake and his doppelgänger.

From @alan678.bsky.social ‬ the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #FirstWingbeat, capturing the instant of take-off. The alt theme is #BusyBirds, birds doing anything except standing still. Yellow-rumped Warbler on takeoff. And a Cooper's Hawk leaving my fence - comic relief. Pretend they're in focus.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth, your best capture/s of May. I don't know if this is my best of May, but it may be my favorite. Eastern Phoebe (or maybe a different flycatcher the longer I look) catching and eating a berry.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #NegativeSpace, where empty or simple surroundings affect the composition. The alt is #Solitude, a single bird deep in thought. For #Solitude, Yellow-crowned Night Heron looking lost in thought. Or maybe a little forlorn.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Podicipedidae, any of the species, the Alt Theme is #Paridae, any of the species. Pied-billed Grebe. Texas.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Texture, images that emphasise the tactile beauty of birds and their habitats set by @alan678.bsky.social Yellow-crowned Night Heron juvenile almost looks like a 3-D puzzle!

Per Rob Crank: today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Anatidae any of the Species will do. The Alt Theme is #K, any bird name beginning with the letter K. I wasn't happy with any of my Kingfisher pics, so here are Black-bellied Whistling Ducks with ducklings, and a solitary Fulvous Whistling Duck.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdOnAWire, any bird on a wire and the alt is #T, any bird that has T anywhere in their name. Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. Texas.

@robcrank68.bsky.social Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StaringRightAtYou, any bird staring right at you. The Alt Theme is #Yellow, any bird with Yellow in its plumage. I couldn't decide between these two. Yellow-rumped Warbler glaring at us, and another looking his most dapper. Covers both #.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SingForYourSupper any bird singing. The alt is #EFGH any bird name with any of these letters at the beginning of their names. This Carolina Wren was singing its heart out and I couldn't resist taking its picture.

#BirdOfTheDay #HeadShots White-winged Dove, wet, molting, and seems to be disgusted about its whole situation.

The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #Grassland, any bird pictured with grass, the Alt Theme is #Red, any bird with Red in its plumage. I went with #Red and two of my favorite Northern Cardinal (male) pics.

#BirdOfTheDay #WingsWideOpen Mississippi Kite about to land beside its mate on a snag above a pond in Texas.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ScrollBack, faves from recent photos. The alt theme is #Unloved, birds you feel are under appreciated. Not great pics, but favorites. Red-bellied Woodpecker female fighting a European Starling for her feeder - and she won! The last picture is my favorite of these.

@robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen #DucksInTheAir for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. Alternative is #Feeders Rose-breasted Grosbeak male on my tray feeder in early May this year. Texas.

#BirdOfTheDay #ruffled #songbirds Northern Cardinal female fluffed up for her bath.

#BirdOfTheDay #WaterDroplets Alternative theme #Robins Two pics covering both themes. One, American Robin taking flight from a bath on my patio, with water droplets flying out from its wings. Two, a different American Robin in my patio birdbath with water droplets raining down on it.

Olive-sided Flycatcher high in the top of a tree above a pond at a local park in Texas. A lifer for me!

First post on Bluesky, and I have no idea what I’m doing. Met a new friend today who told me a little about some of his posts, and a little bit about how Bluesky works, so here goes! Photo of an Eastern Phoebe in a tree at a nearby park (Texas). #BirdOfTheDay #FeathersInFoliage
