A white Ibis scratching that itch on a summer's day ☀️🤍 #BlueSkyArtShow #warmth #birdwatching #nature #Florida #wildlife #photography #beach #birds 🐦🪶
A white Ibis stands next to some sea grass in shallow water, and scratches its face with its right foot. Ibis are distinctive looking with all white feathers and their pink legs, face, and long curved beak. They also have striking light blue eyes. The Frank Sinatra of birds!

Semi-palmated plovers are one of my favorite shorebirds, because they're so cute and #small 🥹 This one stopped long enough to pose for a quick #photo 😍 #BlueSkyArtShow #Florida #beach #nature #wildlife #Saturday #photography #birds 🐦🪶
A semi-palmated plover stands on the shore and boldly looks at the camera. It's a small brown and white shorebird standing on light sand, with mossy brown rocks around and behind it.

There's nothing like hearing a "whoosh" behind you & turning around to see a bald eagle against a #bright blue cloudless sky 🦅💙🌞 #BlueSkyArtShow #Saturday #Florida #art #photography #nature #environment #naturephotograpy #winter #birdwatching #birds 🐦🪶
A bald eagle with wings slightly spread, because it just landed on a pine tree branch. There are lots of pine needles and the sky in the background is cloudless and bright blue.

#autumn where I live looks pretty much the same as other seasons, until the migratory birds arrive 🤩 My 1st sighting of an American Avocet 🩶 #BlueSkyArtShow #Florida #migratory #Saturday #beach #Birdwatching #nature #photography #birds 🐦🪶
An American Avocet is a soft gray and black wading bird with longish, pale legs. It's easy to spot because its bill is very long and thin, and turns up at the end. This particular bird is in the water, and very politely stood still and showed me its best side.

99.9% of my photos are nature & birds, so this is the only #road shot I have for #BlueSkyArtShow I took it because the sticker made me laugh 😂 #photograph #photography #urban #Saturday #Florida
A photo of a road with 2 cars passing, and palm trees and a building in the background. The sky is bright blue, but with some gray and some gray and white puffy clouds. On the right side of the photo a sticker stuck on an orange road sign reads "fuck a fucking job"
