Today's bird for me on Merlin is a Common Yellowthroat, which I happened to photograph this week.

🪶

A small bird on a dead prairie grass stalk. The bird is a cute little olive colored bird with a yellow throat and a white and black mask.

I got a new lifer today, a Cinnamon Teal, which by an odd coincidence also happens to be the shade of Felon47's face powder. #Birds 🪶 #Photography #BirdPhotography. I have to say it looks better on the duck than the f...

A Cinnamon Teal, a smallish duck that has cinnamon side, dark and light striped back, a darker brown-cinnamon head and red eyes. Its bill is dark. It is swimming in a pond with tall grasses all around it.

#BlueSkyArtShow needs more #birds! Went looking for #reflections today and found this adorable horned grebe. Who knew they had dark red devil eyes?!

From shore, I thought it was a pied-billed, but it wasn't until I got home I realized I found a new lifer!

#birding #photo #photography #bluesky

A detailed photo of a horned grebe in non-breeding plumage gliding across calm, grayish-blue water. The bird’s striking red eyes stand out against its dark cap, which contrasts sharply with its bright white cheeks and neck. Its body showcases a mix of dark feathers and lighter, speckled patterns along the sides. Tiny water droplets bead on its back, adding texture, while gentle ripples in the water create a soft reflection of the grebe, enhancing the tranquil scene.

I often managed to get good Bald Eagle pictures sitting in a favourite tree in Magnolia (the Eagle, not me), but not many in flight for #FlyDay, but did get this one which I quite liked. A youngish one judging by the colours. #Birds 🪶 #BirdInFlight #Photography

A Bald Eagle in level flight, wings out, going from right to left of image. Right wing with just a little tip up at the end. Against partially cloudy sky, and a tree line at the foot of the image. The bird is mainly brown as the upper wings and back are most visible. The distinctive white tail and head still have some brown feathers, marking this as a young bird. The bright strong, hooked bill and sharp light eye finish the shot.

I managed to get a few shots of the Belted Kingfisher in flight Friday, one of my favourites is this one - for the water as well as the bird. #Birds 🪶 #Photography #BirdPhotography

A Belted Kingfisher in flight over water. The small waves are making a pattern in the direction of flight. The blue bird with black and white ends to its wings and a darker blue cap is seen from slightly above, wings outstretched, dark pointed bill closed and white band around its neck. The signature belts of blue and orange on the chest not visible from this angle.

When I saw the Great Blue Heron again, and said its photo had nearly 1K likes, it looked at me as to say "What did you expect?" #Birds 🪶 #Photography #BirdPhotgraphy

A Great Blue Heron, a large grey-blue bird with long legs, neck and bill - neck curled and tucked in, its right eye visible as its head points to my right. Standing in a grassy patch with shrubs behind.
