Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! 🦃🥧

I haven't done any turkey art, but the closest thing I have is my Wyandotte Chicken from Birdtober. Which is ok because I'm cooking chicken instead of chicken for tonight anyway 😅

Happy Thanksgiving! This seemed to fit for a day of Thanksgiving feasting. Mr Red-bellied Woodpecker is devouring his favorite seeds while House Finches and a Tufted Titmouse would appreciate a snack. May 31, 2025 🪶

Thankfully, someone has already thought of an adjective to describe this bird. It’s a:

Superb Fruit-Dove

Though resplendent, scintillating, arresting would all be apt. Any more?

Good afternoon. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OnTheEdge , any bird at the edge of a body of water. The alternative is #pigeons I’ve went with a European Shag standing on a rocky outcrop at the edge of the coast. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

This is seriously the perfect situation for a season 23 LeBron

He played first 5 mins. Didn’t have to score, dimed up 1 dude

Lakers up 6 and Luka already has 14 points

7 mins into the game. LeBron is just out there jogging and Luka’s like “I got this”

Most folks have seen an Indian Peafowl from the front showing all of the feathers presented

Found this peacock #hangingaround so I used the opportunity to photograph it a an unusual angle for the #BirdOfTheDay

For today's #BirdOfTheDay I'm going with the alternate theme of #YellowEyes.

I do have plenty of pictures of Warblers, but this Yellow-Eyed Junco is such a cool little bird.

For those in Delaware, there’s a yellow-headed caracara in state at the Maritime Center campus!

SoCal had its first last year under a provisional sighting

Good luck!

Hello there! Don’t let Monday wreck you!

It helps me to look back at past bird photos from trips to transport me back!

Join me in reminiscing about this Brown Violetear from my first trip to Colombia this past March to lessen the Monday suck 👍

Short Eared Owls can be difficult #birds to #photograph as they fly erratically and often only in the dim light of dusk.

It helps to get #lucky

Today was an OVER THE TOP bird day. Thousands of gulls, sheerwaters, cormorants, and pelicans feasting on the scraps of the dolphins and whales. Unmute for chaos vibes. 2 clips. Stick around for the 2nd one! 🪶

Fairview Park lured me into birding with these sightings of beautiful raptors year after year

We figured out that they nest throughout the greater park system around Fairview Park

Each year we get a chance to see the #Mr&Mrs of all these raptors create the next generation #BirdOfTheDay
