For #SmallBirdSaturday, a Chestnut-backed Chickadee. (Since I don't have any Gannets or Blue Tits, I'm also using this for #BirdOfTheDay since it's a member of the Tit family) #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A calliope hummingbird, the smallest bird in Canada and the US (0.1 oz, 2.7 g), for #smallbirdsaturday instigated by @javajanegallery.co.uk. I am very grateful to JJ for organizing this challenge, I love photographing small #birds! #photography #birding #birdphotography

Time to join @javajanegallery.co.uk for #SmallBirdSaturday A tiny wren doing big work. Nothing as cute as a bird proudly carrying home decor.

Rob’s BOTD is #Gannets - to be interpreted as you see it! Never seen a real gannet but the #Starlings certainly eat like them, emptying the feeders in minutes especially with their juveniles demanding food! #BirdOfTheDay #birds #ukbirding #birdphotography #naturephotography #EastCoastKin
