Carnage at the Wedge in Southern California on 3/12. 8-10 peaks were wedging to 12-15 with HEAVY churn.

Gnarliest waves I've ever seen in person. 😱

A sharply focused Eurasian magpie stands alert on a weathered tree stump, its glossy black head and back contrasting with a bright white shoulder and belly. The bird’s pale grey bill and dark, watchful eye are turned slightly to the side, giving it an inquisitive expression. Soft green foliage blurs into the background, isolating the magpie’s striking black-and-white plumage while a few blades of grass sprout from the textured stump beneath its feet.

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Corvidae any bird of the Corvid family. The alt is #LongNecks any bird with a long neck. Good luck. #birds #photography #ECK

A European starling sings from a bridge in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, the starling is silhouetted in the upper right quadrant of the frame with its beak open in song. The background is pure white. The bridge on which it perches adds a strong graphic element, appearing as a dark arch beneath the bird. In the lower left quadrant, a rectangular opening in the bridge reveals the white background, giving the composition an almost abstract quality.

A dapper blue tit perches upright on a rough, moss-flecked branch, its bright yellow chest puffed slightly as if posing for the camera. The bird’s neat blue cap, white cheeks, and bold black eye stripe give it a smart, well-dressed look, while hints of blue on the wings and tail catch the sunlight. Set against a softly blurred green background, the tiny bird appears alert and confident, like a miniature gentleman surveying his garden domain. 🐦🌿

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #photogenic birds you find to be photogenic. The alt is #LightAndShade bird captures with lighting contrast. I’m going with a Blue Tit looking for a Spring partner and perhaps overdoing the Brylcreem. 😁 #birds #photography #ECK
