A black-and-white downy woodpecker, at left, hangs vertically on the side of a snowy bird feeder looking with seemingly angry eyes towards a white-breasted nuthatch, at right, hanging almost upside down on its side of the feeder.

This #TwosDay odd couple features a downy woodpecker who does not look thrilled about sharing the feeder on a snowy day with a crazy, upside-down white-breasted nuthatch. #birds #woodpeckers #backyardbirds #birdphotography #nature #EastCoastKin ๐Ÿชถ

A grey bird, facing left, is perched on a rough barked branch against a blurred light green background. The bird has a black beak, narrow white eye ring, very light grey breast feathers and dark slate grey back, wings and, tail feathers.

#Birds Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme from Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social is #Grey, birds with Grey feathers on them. May 2024, a Townsend's Solitaire taking a break from singing. They subsist on the berries of a prostrate form of Juniper during the winter. They vigorously defend their 'patch'.

A fishing duck, on rippled green & brown water, facing to the left, has something with legs, in it's bill. The bird has an upright, rusty orange crest, an orange eye and dark brown feathers on it's back & wings.

Three weeks ago Shorty almost died in my backyard. Now he waits for snacks & supervises the beags from a distance.

A brown & white bird facing left among river rocks & pebbles. It has a black streak running from it's beak, under the eye and then fading down the side of it's neck. Creamy white breast feathers, medium brown flight feathers edged in lighter brown and dark legs make the bird hard to spot.
