I read Alan’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #RedOrDead, and I thought, “Got to be a #hummingbird.” And it was. #FawnBreastedBrilliant #RubyThroatedHummingbird #RufousHummingbird #LesserVioletear #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

Clinty1 @clinty1.bsky.social · 6h ago

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Here's a puffed up Cardinal pair trying to stay warm during a winter storm #Birds #Cardinals #WinterBirds

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedOrDead, any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird or a photo of a bird on bare winter branches. Alt #SummerVisitors Migratory birds associated with summer or your favourite bird to capture in summer. #birds #photography #ECK

A Meadow Pipit perches sideways on the curved seed head of a dark purple grass, its finely streaked brown upperparts and cream underparts sharply in focus against a smooth green background. The bird grips a large reddish earthworm in its slender bill, likely carrying food back to a nest or recently fledged young. Its alert dark eye and slightly raised crown feathers give it an attentive expression, while the soft, blurred backdrop draws full attention to the delicate plumage and the vivid contrast of the red worm against the bird’s pale face.

Good morning all. For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme I've chosen #FabulousWaders Any wading bird that you love! For me it's the Avocet, a calm and graceful beauty wading along the shoreline! 🤍🪶 The Alt. theme is #Speckled any bird with speckled patterns on its plumage. 📷 #birds #photography #ECK

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts earliest bird captures. Alt. is most captured. This was from 2019-accidental but sparked my interest in birding and all things Heron, which is also by far my most captured bird. #Birds #WetlandBirds #Heron #GreatBlueHeron

Atlantic Birding @atlanticbirding.bsky.social · 2d ago

Good morning All. I thought that as today is my first day, the #BirdOfTheDay theme should be: #Firsts some of your earliest bird captures. Alt. is my most captured; #Robins - Male Reed Bunting, shot in my 1st fortnight of having a camera - The ubiquitous European Robin #birds #photography #ECK

A Male Reed Warbler on a thin plant stalk. The bird is left of centre of the shot perched near the top of tall, dried out plant stalk that is bent over at a 45 degree angle with the weight of the bird. It is turned slightly to look right so that its front, belly and right side can be seen.
Another plant stalk is vertical beside the bird.
The background is an out focus blue sky with two thin, vertical tree branches sparsely covered in green leaves.

A European Robin perched on a thin Sycamore branch. The bird is right of frame, the underside of its tail and body are fully visible, as is its chest. Its head is turned to the left so that the left side of its head can be seen.
It is perched on a small sycamore branch which runs vertically along the right of the picture. A second, larger branch runs from the bottom, slightly left of the centre, to the top right hand corner.
The background is out of focus branches lit brightly by sunlight

I wasn’t able to get out much in July, but I did have a standoff with this green heron #BestOfJuly #BirdOfTheDay

SaraG @hardlikearmour.bsky.social · 3d ago

I had my best birding in July at the local wetlands -- early in the month I saw young Pied-billed Grebes & Hooded Mergansers, then 2 Green Herons, a surprise Double-crested Cormorant one morning, the Lesser Goldfinches all month, & ended July with a Belted Kingfisher. #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfJuly

Violet @fetchingviolet.bsky.social · 3d ago

From @robcrank68.bsky.social today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestOfJuly so no need for an Alt Theme today. This is first time I captured a male (on the left) and female (on the right) Red-bellied Woodpecker in the same photo! #birdphotography #birds #woodpecker

Two Red‑bellied Woodpeckers cling to the trunk of a tree, one on each side. They’re positioned upright on the bark. Each bird has a bright red cap on its head, a pale face, and a back patterned with black and white bars. The male is on the left; his red crown goes from forehead to nape. The female on the right has a red crown just on the nape and a gray forehead.

Kari Maaren @angrykem.bsky.social · 3d ago

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfJuly. I continue to be sidelined by a broken ankle, so here's a brand new #IndigoBunting from July of 2025. It's clearly thinking, "Why does no one ever feed me now?" #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #NaturePhotography

A young Indigo Bunting, a dun-coloured bird with maybe some very faint hints of blue, clings to a dangling branch. Behind it is a blurred-out tree trunk.

@robcrank68.bsky.social Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestOfJuly Maybe not the best but certainly a favorite of July-watching this young Wood Duck pass by #Birds #WetlandBirds #WoodDuck

For Alan’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #OverTheRainbow, I offer this #BoatTailedGrackle pair looking as skyward as it’s possible to look. #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

Two glossy iridescent black birds raise their heads in front of a blurry ochre background. Their sharp beaks are pointed toward the sky, and their feathers glow with blue, green, and purple highlights.

Morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OverTheRainbow, any bird looking skyward. Alt #HedgingYourBets, any bird in a hedge or bush. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT From Monday, @atlanticbirding.bsky.social and @helenbennett.bsky.social Will be joining us as cohosts. #birds #ECK #SmallBirdSaturday

A fluffy juvenile European robin stands upright in short green grass, its rounded body covered in mottled brown plumage before the familiar adult red breast develops. The young bird gazes upward with a large, dark eye and a slender pointed bill, while its long pink legs give it an alert, inquisitive stance. Tiny white clover flowers and scattered fallen leaves dot the softly blurred lawn, creating a natural garden setting that highlights the fledgling’s youthful appearance and curious expression.

Clinty1 @clinty1.bsky.social · 5d ago

@robcrank68.bsky.social Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EgretsAndHerons, any Egret or Heron will do. Here’s a Tricolored Heron-one of my favorite to capture images of #Birds #Heron #TricoloredHeron

Head and neck shot of a tricolored heron. Red eyes, long sharp beak, cream chest, lavender/blue coloring

Alan H @alan678.bsky.social · 6d ago

Good morning birders. Today I thought I would let you post freely so the #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #YourChoice bird capture/ captures you’ve been itching to post. No alt obviously. I’ve went with the unloved but beautiful in sunlight Starling. Taken a few days ago. #birds #photography #ECK

Close-up portrait of a European Starling perched among leafy branches. The bird’s glossy black plumage shimmers with iridescent purple and green highlights in bright sunlight, while neat white speckles cover its breast and flanks. It faces to the right with its long, pointed bill and dark eye sharply in focus. Soft green foliage and blurred leaves create a smooth natural background, drawing attention to the starling’s striking metallic sheen and intricate feather detail.

Today Rob has decreed that the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #multicolour. Here is a #PlateBilledMountainToucan I met in #Ecuador. He’s a colorful character indeed ! #travel #MindoCloudforest #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

The torso and very large beak of a bird fill the frame of the photo. The body is ochre, the chest and neck light blue, and the nape and top of the head are black. The thick slightly curved beak is black with stripes and patches of yellow, red, and white. There is a bright blue ring around its eye. It has mashed banana in its beak.

Clinty1 @clinty1.bsky.social · last wk.

@robcrank68.bsky.social Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #MultiColor, birds with 3 or more colors in their plumage. Here's a grub munching Eastern Bluebird demonstrating today's theme #Birds #EasternBluebird #Bluebird

Alan has said the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CHE, cormorants, herons, and egrets. The alt is #memories. These are both. Please meet the #FlightlessCormorant. These guys were swimming around our boat in the #Galapagos and then displaying their tiny wings on the land! #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
