#BirdOfTheDay #Ducks&GeeseInFlight Opted to highlight not just these Canadian geese, but the scenery where I will be house sitting again in two weeks. My "second home." #photography #wildlife #landscape #MountSopris #CrystalRiver #ECK

A skein of geese are flying in a line from left to right over the Crystal River valley floor. The trees in the valley are a mix of evergreen pine and juniper, and aspens that are turning gold. Rising behind them is Mount Sopris with light snow on the peak that disappears into the low-hanging clouds.

Looking down onto the Crystal River as it winds through the valley floor. The fields are still bright green, but the trees are turning gold. Above the river, three lines of geese are flying toward the camera. Behind them, the mountainsides fill the upper third of the frame.

a wood pigeon sits in a tree dotted with small orangey brown shell-like buds. It has a slightly surprised look on its face as these pigeons often do. Blue sky fills the background

Heute ist @alan678.bsky.social dran mit #BirdOfTheDay und sein Thema lautet #Ducks&GeeseInFlight – alle Enten und Gänse im Flug. Das alternative Thema ist #Pigeons&Doves – alle Taubenarten.

Drei Graugänse fliegen in einer Diagonale von links oben nach rechts unten vor einem bewölkten, hellgrauen Himmel. Die Vögel haben bräunlich-graues Gefieder, lange Hälse und breite Schwingen. Ihr oranger Schnabel und ihre rötlichen Füße sind deutlich zu sehen. Eine Vignette dunkelt die Ecken des Bildes leicht ab.

🪶 Rob has chosen #Ducks&GeeseInFlight as today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme; any ducks or geese in flight Alternative is #Pigeons&Doves, any Pigeon or Dove species - Three Mallard taking off - Brent Geese (B&W) landing at the coast #birdphotography #ECK #birds #birdsofbluesky #naturephotography #Stunday

Three male Mallard ducks taking off from the reeds at the side of a lake. All three birds are more or less centre of the shot and all are facing left so that’s their left sides are visible. The nearest (on the right) is about a foot off the water surface with its wings in front of it in a downward beat, its head is level with the ground. The second is a little lower and has its wings back behind it in an upward beat. The third still has its feet touching the water and its body elongated upward, its wings are behind it and high.
They have a yellow bill and a glossy, iridescent green head with a narrow white ring on the neck. The breast is chestnut brown, the body is grey; turning to white in the underbody. They have a distinctive purple-blue speculum on their wings, which is bordered by white. The feet are orange.
The foreground is short reeds with water visible in between and the droplets and splashes from the birds can be seen throughout the foreground, particularly under the birds and to the right.
The background is a mass of straw yellow grasses and reeds

Seven Brent geese coming in to land at the coast. The image is in black and white and six of the geese are centre of the shot with the seventh towards the top right.
They are a small sea goose, about mallard sized with a completely black head, neck and breast. They have a distinctive white neck patch. The body is grey-brown with pale flanks and belly.
The foreground is the shallow water of the bay with a straight line of rocks covered in seaweed running from left to right just below the centre of the shot. Behind that is more water with the shore, covered in seaweed, in the background. This turns more rocky as you reach the top of the shot.

Rescued Eurasion collared dove recovering in Melany. The dove has stunning bright red eyes with dark pupils as well as a black half-collar marking on the back of its neck. The feather colors range from light tan, buff, white, and grey. The bird rests in a special steel enclosure that allows movement but little range of flight.

A close-up shot of a greylag goose gliding through a clear, pale blue sky. The large bird is captured mid-flight, facing forward with its expansive wings spread wide in a downward curve. Its plumage shows a mottled grey-brown body with darker wingtips, complemented by a bright orange bill and pink feet tucked neatly beneath its belly.

Alt #BirdOfTheDay is Pigeons or Doves I temporarily rescued a racing pigeon that had been hit by a car. Up to 60% of racing pigeons get lost, injured, or die during a race. If you race pigeons, you're not my kind of person. This is him. #EndAnimalExploitation #BirdsOfBluesky
