Always watching and learning, this juvenile bald eagle is my pick for the #birdoftheday theme of #quietobserver.

#birdoftheday is the ever friendly pigeon, who also tend to congregate in #groups. Always room for one more! Spotted these on a warm day in Kiel, Germany. #pigeons

In keeping with the #birdoftheday theme, this dark eyed junco was just #hangingaround! It had nested under a nearby bush and when I watered it, it came flying out. Hence the hairy eyeball in my direction!

Felt like I got lucky with this one. #birdoftheday #beakopen #barnswallow

I like these sometimes maligned birds. They are beautiful and clever. #birdoftheday #crow #halloween

I’m guessing it needs to literally choke it down. 😬 #birdoftheday #seagulls

Can you get any bluer than desertbells? Wildflower mix on the green space near us has brought us these beauties. #bloomscrollimg #bluetue #wildflowers
