Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #Snowy. I've only seen a snowy plover once, but she had three babies with her! It was a beautiful scene. Taken from far away (and through a chain link fence), you can see the parent with one of the chicks in this protected nesting grounds. #Birds

Happy #Caturday 😎.. don’t you just want to run up to him, and give him a big 🤗.. I do 😁.. 🦁💚 ‘Kamal’ a 15 yr old Asiatic Lion at #JimmysFarm U.K. 📷 Dec ‘25 #Conservation #Lion #Nature #Photography #EastCoastKin

This is a white-winged dove. I love the fall colors in the tree behind. Also, I never realized they have red eyes. #Birds #Photography #Nature

I saw a little wren in my garden today. First #sketch of 2026 #wren #birdoftheday #blueskyart #sketchbook #drawing #art #watercolour

With the #BirdoftheDay prompt #GoodLight, this great egret is seen in the morning light. Hope you have a good day! #Birds #Photography #Nature

On New Year's Eve we had freezing fog all day, then suddenly at sunset it turned the most glorious pink and purple, a magical end to what had been a challenging 2025 for me. Bring on brighter times for all! 💜 📷 🌿 #Scape #Photography #LandscapePhotography #Sunset #EastCoastKin

Good morning. Rainbow over the ocean. Watch for the full moon tonight.

#Birds🪶🦉 #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #NatureLover #WildlifePhotography Good Afternoon BlueSky Folks!. Here is another picture of a common Blackbird that I took a few days ago while walking around My local Area Captured on a Canon EOS R50

I was positive the #ChicagoCubs were going to sign Tatsuya Imai today. The Astros got him. A hard eye-roll just isn't enough with these owners anymore. I wish I had a nictitating membrane... seems a little more appropriate. (This is a crow from earlier today) #Hard #Disappointment

As if the Rough-legged Hawk wasn't enough of a miracle this week, we also got to spend some time with a couple of Short-eared Owls when finishing up our wander! This was only our second time to see these beauties.💚 #Birds #NaturePhotos #Owls #iNat 📷🦉

Today’s #BirdoftheDay theme is #B&W. This female phainopepla is a beautiful gray color so I thought she’d make a good subject for this. This photo was taken at #BigMorongoCanyonPreserve, 12/20/25. #Birds #Nature #ClassicMono

The magic of nature holds hope for the New Year, best wishes to all! 🕊️ …

Hey friends, I have a full day ahead on Tuesday, so I'm posting my favorite photo, day 30 right now. I call this a "Deconstructed Smore", largely due to the colors of the Eastern Kingbird who is perched upon a Marsh Mallow flower. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🪶🦉📷

May your New Year’s Eve be exactly as you wish! Happy #WaterWednesday! #KapaluaBeach #Maui #Nature

This great egret flies by…and leaves the past behind. #Reflections #Birds #BirdoftheDay #Nature #Photography

Part two of pics from each month this year.💚 May - Chestnut-backed Chickadee by one of our bird boxes. June - Drasteria parallela moth on phlox in High Sierra. July - Western Leafcutter Bee on California Buckwheat. August - #PtReyes #2025faves #CaliforniaNativePlants #NaturePhotos #Birds #iNat 📷

I’ve never seen this woodpecker behavior before. Scared by the hawk perched in the tree exactly 180° away, this Nuttall’s is frozen as he flattens his body to the tree trunk. #Birds #Nature #Photography

This is a theme I can really get behind! (has no one said that yet?!) #birdButts #BirdoftheDay This is a Townsend's warbler scolding me for taking such a compromising shot.

Surely this is the most magnificent of #BirdButts! This leucistic peacock reminds me of a ruffled bride. Flamingo Gardens, Florida. #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds

From earlier this month at Bentsen-Rio Grande SP (TX), this is definitely the best photo I got of a new lifer, a Harris's Hawk that posed oh-so-nicely for me! #birds #originalcontent #photography #birdoftheday #favourite 📷🪶

A pair of Western Grebes with their chicks for today’s #serenity and #favorite themes of #BirdOfTheDay picked by @alan678.bsky.social I think this shot may qualify for both themes because it is my favorite one of 2025 and, well, I think it is a serene scene. #birds #nature #photography

The conditions over the Christmas break in Scotland have been really special. Lots of frost, ice and mist. This is from this morning, where the trees were covered in hoar frost. It made for quite the winter wonderland scene. #winter #Scotland #photography

I’m going to finish 2025 with some of my favorite photos from the year. 🎉 I found this burrowing owl watching the sunrise in some spectacular early morning light. 🕳️ 🦉 (January 11) #birds #2025recap

Blue Jay resting among sharp, leafless branches, using dense cover for shelter. The layered thorns create a natural barrier while the bird conserves heat in winter light. #BlueJay #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotography #WinterBirds #BackyardBirds #ThornyCover #manitoba

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #outstretched. A few American white pelicans fly by on Christmas morning. #BolsaChicaEcologicalReserve #Birds #Photography #Nature

Today's #birdoftheday "most recent". The first bird I photographed today; s/he is coming by several times daily, but rarely gets a meal as the other birds quickly leave the feeders. Now s/he is even coming up to my front porch! #cooper'shawk #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #nature

Thanks to photographer Stella Hamilton, who is at Astoria the Wild Turkey's side every evening to offer care (including fresh water) and guidance in the often-crowded urban park The Battery so that Astoria can safely fly up to her roosting tree. 🦃 ❤️
