A House Sparrow in a bird bath making quite a splash in the water

It is hard to believe a little House Sparrow can create so many #droplets of water!!! #BirdoftheDay #bird #birds

Thank you for taking the time to make a place for people to share!

A Turkey Vulture with its wings spread out gliding on the wind currents

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from
@alan678.bsky.social is #wings. While many may not find the
Turkey Vulture the most attractive of birds - I think they may be the most graceful in flight. #bird #birds

Thank you so much! 😊

A Black-Capped Chickadee that has just fledged is holding onto a metal fence wire looking around

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is the 'Family Paridae of Birds'. This little Black-Capped Chickadee just took its first flight and landed quite nicely on the fence. It seems to be just taking in the everything around it - life looks a bit different out of the nesting box. #chickadee #bird #birds

Thank you!

This Great Blue Heron's beak wasn't full for very long! #BirdOfTheDay #Beakful #bird #birds

An American Robin chick in a nest on a branch with its mouth wide open and its eyes closed waiting to be fed.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is themed 'Juveniles/Chicks' as chosen by @robcrank68.bsky.social. Yesterday I posted a juvenile American Robin so it is only fitting I post an American Robin chick today. #bird #birds #chicks

For the #BirdOfTheDay #Spotted I choose this juvenile American Robin sitting in the perfect spot to be camouflaged. #bird #birds

Red Bellied Woodpecker fluffed and hanging on to the side of a dead snow-covered branch.

The #BirdOfTheDay alternative theme is #floofball and I have chosen this Red Bellied Woodpecker fluffed to the fullest on a cold snowy morning.

Tiny, mighty, and completely fabulous the Tufted Titmouse #BirdOfTheDay #TuftedTitmouse #bird #birds

I love this shot I got of a Canada Goose with the Great Blue Heron in the background. The Heron looks unimpressed by the wing display. #BirdOfTheDay #Goose/orGeese #bird #birds

Tee shirt that says "Every individual makes a difference" Jane Goodall

Jane without a doubt made a difference! Thank you Jane.

Postman Butterflies - if I were taking a Rorschach Test, I would say it looks like a heart🧐 #butterflies #butterfly

Downy Woodpecker in silhouette sitting on a Hummingbird feeder

Everyone needs a little "pick me up" from time to time including this Downy Woodpecker on the Hummingbird feeder. #BirdOfTheDay #silhouette #bird #birds

American White Ibis standing perfectly still in shallow water - bright blue eyes and orange beak and legs.

This American White Ibis was kind enough to stand still for me while I took its picture. #BirdOfTheDay #MainColourWhite #bird #birds

Two Mourning Doves perched in a tree, features puffed out

My absolute favorite bird is the Mouring Dove. They never fail to make me smile and for a few moments I feel at peace. Unfortunately, where I live, we are in hunting season for them right now. #favourite #birdoftheday #birds #bird

Birds + water = my happy place.

Florida Softshell Turtle in the grass

I love this little one - maybe not so little. #turtles

Back of an Anna's Hummingbird that is getting nectar from a flower. Wings are perfectly outstretched

This is one of my favorite photos of Anna's Hummingbird. I can't believe I took this this about 15 years ago - it seems like just yesterday. #bird #birds
