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.

I also sometimes take pictures of people. Lots of people fishing at the salt river this morning. This guy caught a trout.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #MrandMrs I actually have a shot that I took today.
This Mr. and Mrs. Mallard duck kind of got photobombed by a pied billed grebe (which I may or may not have initially thought was their baby)

We were lucky enough to see wild horses at the salt river this morning. Still going through my edits, but so far this is the best "action" shot.

This hummingbird visited almost the same time everyday. The rose of Sharon nectar must be tasty!

For the #BirdOfTheDay I'm going to go with the alternate theme of #silhouette primarily because I looked and looked and I just don't have any good pictures of birds on wires.

The Barred Owls I see are usually in dark areas of the forest and have many #grey shades in their feathers.

I'm going with the #BirdoftheDay alternative theme of #ducklings. These tiny babies are Fulvous Whistling Ducks. The parents were extremely protective - fiercely driving away any bird that approached.

Twice-stabbed stinkbugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae: Cosmopepla lintneriana) mainly inhabit northern North America, and aren't picky about what plants they eat. These two were feeding on the pollen of catnip (Lamiaceae: Nepeta cataria) in my yard. Palmyra Michigan, 02 Aug 2010.

I recently started a project to build an archive of all the wildlife I've ever photographed. Posting 1 pic a day to Substack.
Right now I have years worth of content.
But this could get interesting down the road when I have to make a "still need" list.

We haven't had our first freeze here in southeast Arizona yet, so no widespread fall colors. But a few of the maples in Ramsey Canyon are starting to turn.
