My squirrels have taken up farming (yep, they are mine, since they live on my postage stamp in this world & pay me in cuteness). They bury peanuts like tiny entrepreneurs, then proudly give me peanut plants. Basically, I’ve got a rodent-run agricultural co-op in my yard. #naturephotography #plants

From @robcrank68.bsky.social,‬ today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsOnTwigs, any bird on a thin branch. The Alternative theme is Ducks #OutOfWater. I have Indigo Bunting on a stick.

Thanks! Not the my in focus, but at least I captured the moment😊

This is my Willow the day we adopted her. She is the most talkative little girl, and so sincere in the messages she is trying to convey. #CatsOfBluesky #caturday

From Alan H, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #movement any bird showing movement of any description. The alternative is #lookingup any bird looking up. I have a very out of focus twofer - a cardinal looking up at a house sparrow flying over its head. #birds #birdphotography

Common True Katydid - really not blending in when you’re built for leaves but life seats you on the metal armrest of a chair. #bug #bugs #naturephotography

Thank you 🫶

They are!

Thank you. I took the photo through a window that needs a little cleaning to say the least.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borbs, Birds looking round, & the Alt is #Black birds. This Mourning Dove sat for hours in the same spot looking around. They say Mourning Doves return to the spot they lost their mate, and this one was very close to where we found dove feathers.😞 #birdphotography

My poor Coneflower had some serious issues, not the least was the leaves all growing on one side of the plant. #naturephotography #flowers

Per Alan @alan678.bsky.social, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Songbirds and the alternative is #Seabirds. I can't think of a bird that has a more soulful song than a Mourning Dove. It may not be a classic songbird, but it is definitely distinctive. #birds #birdphotography #mourningdove

Thank you!! Again, great idea.

Great idea! Is it hanging on a wire?

Just a wee bit!😉

😊

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of birds #LookingAtYou, and the Alternative are birds #OnTheRocks set by @robcrank68.bsky.social. "Privacy please, not having the best day"

I end up using 3 different photo identification programs and then searching online for each of the species it gives me since each one is different! Birds are so much easier than butterflies 😄

I know that line very well!

Today is very gray and cold so nothing better to pick me up than a cup of hot coffee and a photo of a Zebra Swallowtail in the sun. #naturephotography #butterfly #butterflies

I love your Kingfisher photos!

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #stripes any bird that has a stripe marking. The alternative is #mono bird captures, black and white. This is the first and only time I have seen an Ovenbird. Lucky for me it waited while I ran and got me camera.

Such a sweet photo!

Today's Bird of the day theme is reflections which reminded me of a photo I had taken several years ago of a tree line. #naturephotography #landscape #trees

Thank you! 🙂

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections and the alternative is #LongTails. I am going with the alternative long tails and this Blue Crane. #birdphotography #birds

Autumn Meadowhawk Dragonfly. I wish the picture as a bit more in focus, but I was just happy it landed long enough for this photo. #naturephotography #dragonfly #dragonflies

Thank you for reading my post!!❤️They really are beautiful birds.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #BerriesandBeaks Bird–berry interactions, color contrasts, or seasonal food sources and the alt is #corvids. My tree was nearly picked clean of berries by a flock of Cedar Waxwings (one of the most beautiful birds in my humble opinion). #birdphotography #birds
