What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #whatbird #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
Image description: A large, ground-dwelling bird with matte black plumage and a fan-like tail. It has a striking, vibrant red featherless head and neck. Around the base of its neck hangs a prominent, bright yellow wattle that looks like a textured, ruffled collar. The bird is standing on a forest floor covered in dry leaves and green stalks, looking off to the left with a sharp, dark eye. Clue: Known as a master architect of the leaf litter, this Australian native is often mistaken for a wild turkey, but it’s actually a member of the megapode (mound-builder) family. Fun fact: Instead of sitting on their eggs to keep them warm, males build massive mounds of decomposing vegetation that can be up to 4 meters wide. The heat generated by the rotting compost acts as a natural incubator for the eggs! Source: Gemini 3 (Edited) 📷: Photo by DavidClode via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/users/davidclode-43394210/

Saw a Fox Sparrow today but he got scared and flew away. I waited 30 minutes for him/her to come back. First time I got a photo of one.🙂 #Birds #Nature #Sonoma #California #Canon R7 RF18-150 #BirdPhotography

A close-up photograph of a brown, streaked bird, likely a fox sparrow, perched on a red metal mesh bird feeder filled with black oil sunflower seeds and some yellow corn. The bird has its beak open. The feeder hangs from a tree branch, with green leaves and brown branches visible in the soft-focus background.

My latest painting of a male Red/Northern Cardinal found in SE Canada and the eastern US.
A5
Watercolour
#art #painting #nopre-sketch #watercolour #redcardinal #birdsoftheworld #birds #birdart #animalart #عسفور
A watercolour painting that I did without a pre-sketch of a Red Cardinal also known as a Northern Cardinal perched on a branch. Feathers are bright red and dark orange with distinctive long dark magenta tail feathers. Beak is a light orange. The feathers stick up on the crown of the bird. Background is a light green-blue.

Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme #poise is quite timely, as I photographed this Egret just two days ago. The alt is #white, any bird that has white as part of it’s colouring. #birds #egret #birdphotography #birdsoftheworld #nature #wildlife #photographersofbluesky #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching

Photo description: A side-profile view of a large waterbird perched on a weathered tree stump against a soft, blurred green background. The bird has a strikingly long, S-shaped neck with dark plumage and a distinct white stripe running from the eye down the side of its neck. Its wings are partially spread to dry, showing intricate silvery-grey and black feather patterns. Its sharp, pointed beak is angled slightly upward, and its long, dark tail feathers extend downward. Clue: Often called the "Snakebird," this elegant water bird is known for swimming with its body submerged, leaving only its long, winding neck visible above the surface. Fun fact: Unlike ducks, these birds don’t have waterproof oil on their feathers. While this makes them less buoyant (helping them dive deeper to spear fish), it means they have to spend hours perched with their wings spread to dry out in the sun after a hunt!
