Here’s a #kingfisher for the #birdoftheday. He or she has generously pooped for our entertainment. It’s always a great day when I spot one of these! 🪶

The #birdoftheday is #sideview, so here’s a #ring-billedgull trying to steal a fish from a hooded merganser that had just dove underwater in an attempt to protect his lunch. 🪶

The #birdoftheday alt is #SmallBirdsBigPersonality, which is what I’m going with since I have no #nestbuilders. Hopefully that will change in the spring but for now here’s a #golden-crownedkinglet and a #white-breastednuthatch. 🪶

I have #gannets for my #birdoftheday but they’re terrible shots. 😭 They were lifers, though, and it was great to cross them off my list. 🪶

I don’t think I’ve gotten a #thrush yet for my #birdoftheday (not for lack of trying, believe me) but here’s the alt #wader: my favorite (so far) #heron, the #tricoloredheron. I love how weird they are. 🪶

The #birdoftheday is #swan. These tundra swans stopped in Virginia Beach last winter at a wildlife sanctuary on their way south and they were so loud, I could hear them honking from half a mile away. 🪶

This #yellow #birdoftheday is from one of those days where the birds were so excited about eating that they ignored me and I got some of my #favorite shots as a new #birder. 🪶 They’re wise to me now, and I’ve struggled to get a decent #goldfinch ever since. 😂
