Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WinterSurvivors - birds that remain throughout your winter season. The alternative is #corvids - birds from the Corvidae family. Good luck. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Front-facing European robin perched on a weathered tree stump, its bright orange breast and face vivid against soft green woodland blur. The bird’s pale grey and cream belly feathers are fluffed out, giving it a rounded, almost spherical shape, with delicate legs gripping the rough bark. The symmetrical pose and direct gaze create an intimate, characterful portrait, while the smooth background isolates the robin in sharp, striking detail

To everyone who has that someone special. Give them a hug and tell them you love them today. Those who have lost your loved ones. Remember all those special times. Happy Valentine’s Day. Here’s a true symbol of love and commitment. All info in alt. #birds #BirdOfTheDay #Portrait #EastCoastKin
A black&white composition of a Mute Swan. A heart shape can be seen in the outline of neck and reflection. Swans symbolize grace, loyalty, and lifelong partnership, often mating for life and displaying strong devotion to their partners. They are deeply linked to romantic ideals in both European folklore and modern wedding traditions.

The Bluebird on the frozen river.
#Bluebird #BirdOfTheDay #Blue #nature #wildlife #photography 🪶
An Eastern Bluebird stands on the bare river ice after getting a drink. He’s illuminated by the wan early morning January sun, but it doesn’t provide much warmth. He looks a somewhat forlorn to me.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples.
I often see red-winged blackbirds on sandhill cranes, but I don't often see the red-winged blackbird socializing with the green herons. A couple shots of each.
#birds
Red-winged Blackbird on the rump of a Sandhill Crane. The small red-winged blackbird harasses the sandhills all summer during breeding season as they are territorial. The harassment usually cools off after their young are raised. However, sandhills have been known to raid their nests. I have also seen great friendship between these two species during migration. The red-winged blackbird can be relentless when harassing the sandhill cranes. This red-winged blackbird was getting very chatty with the green heron at the pond. I was surprised how long this odd couple (red-winged blackbird and green heron) sat in close proximity after some excitement when the red-winged blackbird came in for it's landing very close o the heron.

#Birds #duck #TwosDay A pair of Wood Ducks early April, 2 years ago. I was shooting a Song Sparrow in the shadows, when this pair glided out into the sun & back into the rushes before I had a chance to change my settings.
2 ducks on water with brown, grey & beige ripples reflecting the background of mud & dried leaves. The front hen has an orange lined eye in a white oval. The drake in back has brilliant red eye set against black. A metallic green crest, bright orange bill, white neck ring & vertical stripe under the eye, makes for a striking appearance.

I just found this one. Red-tailed #Hawk harassed by #Mockingbird. The third one in the drama is a poor squirrel, but we only see the tip of his tail.

A grey heron stands upright on a dark harbour rail in warm light, its long neck relaxed and yellow eye alert. Behind it, softly out of focus, a small gull perches on the pointed top of a white navigation marker, creating a layered composition with the heron sharp in the foreground and the gull blurred against a smooth brown background.

So it’s not my day to host but I’m going through some captures now to help my pal Rob out. Hope you all are having a great day so far. Saw this guy today. Have no idea why he decided to land on this particular tree stump near me. 🤷‍♂️🤥 #BirdOfTheDay #StareDown
Close-up of a Eurasian jay standing on a dark mossy tree stump, facing the camera with an alert, direct gaze. Its warm brown body contrasts with the distinctive blue-and-black barred patch on its wing. Several peanuts and small seeds lie on the ground in front of its pale pink feet, while the background fades into a deep, blurred green.

Black-headed gull in non-breeding plumage perched on top of a weathered wooden post. The bird has a white head with a small dark ear spot, pale grey back and wings, and vivid red bill and legs. It stands side-on, alert, against a softly blurred blue water background, with bright green leaves partially framing the foreground.
