It's been Juncopalooza in my yard these last few weeks. We normally only get the slate-coloured variety, but I did get one two-tone J. h. cismontanus subspecies, which usually live west of here. #birds 🌿

A very dark slate grey dark-eyed junco with a white belly and pink bill perches on a wooded railing.

A paler slate grey dark-eyed junco with a brownish back perches on a curve metal hook in the sunshine.

A paler slate grey dark-eyed junco perches on a wooden feeder tray, showing off it white belly and pinkish legs that match its beak.

First curious cutie to be near my newly (and WIP) feeding station! He’s looking at them peanuts and thinking “ain’t no damn way”. Hopefully he’s comes back with others and revel in this new access to food #birdsky #birder #bluejay #birdwatching

I don't think I've ever seen a more floofed Snowy Egret! #Birds 🪶 #Photography #BirdPhotography #FujiFilm #XT5. It was a bit breezy today. I'll post one of it shaking this out later.

A Snowy Egret, all feathers puffed out, or floofed. A small-medium sized white bird with long dark legs, with yellow backs, just seeing a flash of the yellow on its right leg. It also has a long dark bill and yellow between the eyes and around he dark pupils. This one is standing in long grass, angled and looking to the left of the camera. Overcast, no strong shadows.

Your daily #topofawesternbluebirdshead photo.

Western Bluebird, Mosier, Oregon

#birds #nature

A close-up of a small bird with vibrant blue and rusty-orange plumage. The bird's head is covered in rich blue feathers, with tiny water droplets visible on its surface. Its dark eye is partially hidden in shadow, and its sharp black beak points slightly downward. The background is softly blurred, highlighting the intricate texture of the bird's feathers.

Male Western Bluebird, Oregon

#birds #nature

A small bird with vibrant blue, rusty-orange, and soft gray feathers perches on a lichen-covered branch. Its head is tilted slightly downward, and its dark eye appears focused. The bird's delicate black claws grip the textured branch firmly. The background is softly blurred with muted earthy tones, providing contrast to the bird’s striking plumage.

The female Red-tailed Hawk of the local hawk pair perched over the nature trail. She did some people watching before heading off into the woods. She doesn't mind people while the male is a bit shy.

Goldfinches frozen at the feeders in @centralparknyc.bsky.social Wednesday. I didn’t see a hawk but there must have been one nearby.

Conquest as an Animal Crossing villager. I don’t typically do digital art at all, but his traditional sketch was too tiny to actually paint/color. Still a WIP, but it’s generally finished. Definitely wanna make more of him as I learned *a lot* #Invincible #Conquest #artsky #AreYouSure

Conquest, from the comic and TV show Invincible drawn in an Animal Crossing style with a chibi-like body. He’s a rhino character that’s orange and has his white and gray Viltrumite suit with a red outline surrounding him
