Happy Wrensday to those who celebrate 🪶 🌵

A close-up, profile shot of a **Hairy-crested Antbird** clinging to the side of a vertical tree trunk. The bird has distinct **light blue skin around its eyes**, a dark brown body with fine feather detailing, and a small, pointed crest. It is looking to the left against a soft, blurred green forest background.

My cat Ella was fascinated when I turned the volume on!🐈

Look at that tail swish!😂

Nice shot!

This is Mason Lake on Rte30 in the #Adirondacks. We passed it so many times going back and forth to our camp and finally stopped to get a photo so I could paint it.

I'm going with this female red-flanked bluetail that comes with a sad story: She's got a giant lump on the other feet.😖

A feral pigeon is a common, medium-sized bird often found in urban areas, typically measuring about 30–35 cm (12-14 inches) in length. They have a plump, rounded body, a small head, and short legs. Their feathers are often a mix of slate grey, white, and black, with a distinctive iridescent sheen of purple and green around the neck, particularly visible in direct sunlight. They have small eyes, often with orange or yellow irises.

Today's Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Pigeons&Doves set by @robcrank68.bsky.social ~ a close up shot of the colourful feral Pigeon in the garden which I posted earlier this month & has now become a daily visitor to the garden 🪶🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birdphotography #EastCoastKin #bluesky

I've never tried them, but they look delicious!

A gravel path leads to a Spanish style, brick and stucco light house located in the Puget Sound area of Washington state. The light is gone and the building looks out of place, but give a glimpse to the past.

Admiralty Head Lighthouse - Whidbey Island, WA.

Beacon through the storm,
fear fades in its steady light—
safe harbor, sweet home.

In the foreground a Black Kite stands on bare and dry ground, side on to the camera facing the left, at its feet and in its shadow is part of a broken eggshell. An Egyptian vulture is striding towards the black kite, face onto the camera.
