I love this Camilla Celebration. The markings on the petals give it an edge over my others. #FlowersonFriday. #Camellias #Bloomscrolling.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Finches

Redpoll, not that many around at the moment but that can change real fast. Another bird that does well without much light (they can winter so far north they have no choice). Anchorage #Alaska 🪶

A snowy egret and a common moorhen stand back to back in the middle of the frame. The egret is in front, looking towards the bottom left of the frame. The moorhen is directly behind it, facing right.

Against a white background of snow on the ground, a red northern cardinal at left and a brown white-throated sparrow look down for seed. The cardinal’s feet are obscured by snow, while the sparrow is perched higher on the branch of a bush.

A Cooper’s Hawk, wings open and exposing brown-spotted white legs with yellow feet, walks along a branch as he tries to flatter a female hawk nearby (out of sight).

Photo of a Red-Winged Blackbird sitting on a very thin branch of a shrub. The branch is almost vertical and only ever so slightly bend to the right, beginning in the upper half. The bird looks directly at the camera and strikes a commanding pose. I’m sure, he was trying to impress the ladies.

Think, he saw me? 🤭

#Bahrain #Birds today, we have seen a flurry of reports of Redstarts. The ring was attached here

A very round Bohemian Waxwing on a branch with red berries. The bird is light brown and gray with darker brown upper wings. The edges of the wings are black with white, yellow and red spots. There is a peach band on the forehead and black around the eyes. The head crest is raised.

Close-up profile of pelican with bright blue eye. It’s breeding horn is evident on its bill. The background is frothy water.

Putting in my bet on this year’s American White Pelican arrival in Saskatoon (it’s an annual event - there are prizes!) has me thinking about how much I’m looking forward to seeing those gigantic prehistoric weirdos again. Can’t wait #birds
