#BirdoftheDay and #Black is today's theme, so it has to be a Black Oystercatcher for me. #Birds πŸͺΆ #EastCoastKin #Photography

It's been Juncopalooza in my yard these last few weeks. We normally only get the slate-coloured variety, but I did get one two-tone J. h. cismontanus subspecies, which usually live west of here. #birds 🌿

A small bird with a rounded body and iridescent feathers perches on a branch. Its head and throat shine with deep blue and violet tones, while its chest and sides are covered in soft green and gray. The background is a smooth blur of dark green.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred.

As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

A Snowy Egret, all feathers puffed out, or floofed.  A small-medium sized white bird with long dark legs, with yellow backs, just seeing a flash of the yellow on its right leg.  It also has a long dark bill and yellow between the eyes and around he dark pupils.  This one is standing in long grass, angled and looking to the left of the camera.  Overcast, no strong shadows.

I don't think I've ever seen a more floofed Snowy Egret! #Birds πŸͺΆ #Photography #BirdPhotography #FujiFilm #XT5. It was a bit breezy today. I'll post one of it shaking this out later.

A close-up of a small bird with vibrant blue and rusty-orange plumage. The bird's head is covered in rich blue feathers, with tiny water droplets visible on its surface. Its dark eye is partially hidden in shadow, and its sharp black beak points slightly downward. The background is softly blurred, highlighting the intricate texture of the bird's feathers.

A small bird with vibrant blue, rusty-orange, and soft gray feathers perches on a lichen-covered branch. Its head is tilted slightly downward, and its dark eye appears focused. The bird's delicate black claws grip the textured branch firmly. The background is softly blurred with muted earthy tones, providing contrast to the bird’s striking plumage.

The female Red-tailed Hawk of the local hawk pair perched over the nature trail. She did some people watching before heading off into the woods. She doesn't mind people while the male is a bit shy.

Conquest as an Animal Crossing villager. I don’t typically do digital art at all, but his traditional sketch was too tiny to actually paint/color. Still a WIP, but it’s generally finished. Definitely wanna make more of him as I learned *a lot* #Invincible #Conquest #artsky #AreYouSure

A close-up, slightly angled shot of a European robin perched on a paved surface. The robin has a distinctive bright orange-red breast, a gray face, and a brown back and wings. Its dark eyes are clearly visible, and it appears to be looking down at the ground. The paved surface is made of square tiles and shows some cracks and a bit of green vegetation in the background. The bottom left corner of the image contains the text "@NoShaymin That".

A close-up, eye-level shot of a European robin standing on a paved surface made of gray, rectangular stones. The robin is facing the camera directly, its body centered in the frame. It has a rounded, plump appearance with a prominent orange-red breast that extends down its front. The top of its head and back are a muted gray, and its wings are tucked neatly against its sides. Its legs are thin and dark, with small feet that are clearly visible on the stone surface. The robin's expression appears stern or annoyed, with its dark eyes and slightly furrowed brow giving it a determined look. The paved stones are textured and show signs of wear, with some moss or discoloration visible between the stones. The lighting is bright and casts a slight shadow under the bird, highlighting the texture of the stones and the bird's features. A watermark "@NoShayminThat" is visible in the bottom left corner of the image.
