What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌏 #WhatBirdAmI #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
"I am a vibrant Australian parrot easily recognized by my deep blue head, bright orange-red chest, and lime-green wings. I don't spend much time cracking seeds; instead, I use my specialized brush-tipped tongue to feast on nectar and pollen from native flowers. You'll often hear me before you see me, as I travel in loud, energetic flocks that fill the trees with screeching chatter at dawn and dusk." Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Image description: A close-up photo of a vibrant medium-sized parrot perched on a wooden railing. The bird features a deep violet-blue head, a bright yellow-green collar, and a brilliant orange and yellow chest. Its wings and back are a rich emerald green, and its sharp, curved beak is a striking coral red. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of grey and white, making the bird's multicolored plumage stand out vividly.

A Bobwhite with golden reflection in a pond. It might just qualify for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Speckles&Spots #birds #birdphotography🦉 #birdsoftheworld #wildlife #photographersofbluesky #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching
The golden hour light is creating a wonderful soft reflection in a pond of this Bobwhite quail.

Excellent views of what I believe is a Siberian Chiffchaff at Sandy Water Park, Llanelli today. It was feeding avidly around the small wooden bridge in some lovely winter light. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birdsSeenIn2026 #birdsOfTheWorld

A young Snowy Owl showed up in Union Gap, WA on a foggy winter morning several years ago when a food shortage sent many south into the U.S. & birders like me scrambled to see it…

Going with #GoldenHour, the alternate #BirdoftheDay theme, as we don't get snow around here (but I might post a Snowy Egret later anyway...). Here is a Red-shouldered Hawk in the late afternoon sun, about to launch from the top of a juniper bush

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍 #WhatBirdAmI #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
"I am a social African bird often found hitching a ride on the backs of giraffes, buffalo, and rhinos. Known as the 'Rhino's Guard' for my hissing alarm calls, I spend my life using a specialized beak to groom my hosts for ticks and parasites. I am easily recognized by my olive-brown plumage, striking yellow eye-rings, and a signature bright, wax-red bill." Image description: A close-up, profile shot of a small bird perched atop the coarse, dark fur of a large mammal. The bird features smooth, olive-brown plumage on its head and back, transitioning to a pale buff-coloured breast. Its most striking features are a thick, bright red beak and a vivid orange-red eye encircled by a prominent, fleshy yellow ring. The background is a soft, out-of-focus vibrant green. Fun fact: They are so attached to their hosts that they sometimes even sleep on the animal's back at night.

#Birds #DarkEyedJunco #snowy #BirdOfTheDay
Very early in spring, the Juncos do clean-up duty under by bird feeding station. They seem much more comfortable picking fallen seed out of the snow than the feeders themselves.
A round looking bird with a pink beak, black head, white breast feathers and tan sides, is standing facing forward on dirty looking snow.

Good morning the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #caughtinmotion birds captured in movement and the alternative is #BirdsofPrey which speaks for itself.

I love to combine the main & alt themes when I can! #birds #raptors #BaldEagle
A Bald Eagle flying low above a wetlands area. Its facing left with its wings partially outstretched above its body. Its talons are tucked up near the base of its tail. Its head and body and tail are in focus, while its wings are blurred with motion. The background is a mix of water, plants, and rocks all past the plane of focus.

"I am a vibrant, fruit-loving bird found in the low-altitude forests of Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. I am easily recognized by the bright orange-red tuft of feathers at the base of my bill, which looks like a flickering flame. I also have a unique, cicada-like song that sounds more like a buzzing insect than a bird!" Image description: A photo of a vibrant green bird perched on a branch, showing its lime-green body, grey face, and a distinct small tuft of orange-red feathers at the base of its yellow beak. The bird is gripping a textured brown branch. The background is a soft, out-of-focus mix of muted greens and greys, suggesting a misty forest canopy.

For today's alt #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdsOfPrey, here's a Bald Eagle being harassed by an American Crow. The eagle finally got tired of it and flew off. Such magnificent birds! 🦅🤩

#birds #raptors #BaldEagle #EastCoastKin #BirdPhotography #Olympus #Massachusetts @alan678.bsky.social
A Bald Eagle with dark brown body feathers, a yellow beak, and a white head with a bit of brown (not quite an adult), perched on a bare branch at the top of a tree with green leaves. There's a black American Crow in the background, which was one of several that were harassing the eagle. Seen in June at Great Meadows NWR in Concord, Massachusetts.
