#birdoftheday alternate is #corvid, so here’s a Clark’s Nutcracker I snapped with my iPhone in Central Oregon a couple years ago.

#birdoftheday theme is #berriesabdbeaks, thanks to Alan and Rob. Here is a Black-capped Chickadee with Oregon Grape—which is not a grape but is certainly a berry—in my back garden. Cheers!

Mountain Chickadee (MOCH) was a #Bluetit in its last life. #birdoftheday North America version. 😜

I’m striking out on #birdoftheday today. I visited London for a short week in April but didn’t manage to get any shots of a #BlueTit. All my tits were great.

Rob and Alan’s #Birdoftheday is #Gannet which I’ve not yet seen as we have none on the west coast of North America. But we do have Tufted Puffins, so I’m hoping a substitution will be allowed in this case.

K and I twitched on a Hooded Warbler in Lane County, Oregon today and were rewarded with this excellent photograph. It's my 382nd life-list bird for Oregon and 331st for 2025, so no photography awards, but it's a tic! #birding

One more #headshot for Rob and Alan’s #birdoftheday— a Hudsonian Whimbrel we saw on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica recently. Cheers!

#birdoftheday is #unusualangles so I’ll contribute this Red-winged Blackbird (RWBL) displaying its epaulets as seen from above. I took this pic many years ago so don’t remember how it was I found myself at this angle.

Also while not yellow-eyed, this Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher has a very nice yellow eyering!

The alt- #birdoftheday is #yelloweyes. Here’s a Volcano Junco from the Paramo (tropical tundra?) region of Costa Rica. This was taken at above 12,000’ (4000m) elevation

At the risk of sticking out like a sore (American) thumb, I’ll add my entry to the #HolidayRobin theme: this American Robin, Turdis Migratorious (how apt!) visited my back garden last winter.

#BirdOfTheDay today is #warbler. I might have a pic…here is a Blackpoll Warbler and an Arctic Warbler, both from a 2023 Alaska #birding trip. Cheers!

I love using banding codes. I just received copies of a new kids birding book a friend of mine write and I was excited to see the use of banding codes extensively.
