A Belted Kingfisher I creeped up on at Horicon Marsh, WI #birdoftheday #blue #nature #kingfisher #photography

A lovely toad for your #Stunday … I saw this little fellow climbing on rocks near Montrose beach. #toad #montrosebeach #nature #NaturePhotography #wildlife #WildlifePhotography

#BirdOfTheDay theme of #Geese&DucksInFlight #Birds #Nature #Wildlife #Birding #BirdPhotography I love some Canadian geese

ALT theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Pigeons&Doves Here is an extreme close up! #nature #birds #photography

I am red green colorblind, but i am pretty sure this warbler is #green #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birdphotography #nature #photography

Some nice wing blue on the buzzy bug. #insect #photograpgy #nature #bugsky

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Waders The photo is little softer then I would like, but I love the symmetry of the reflection and the sharp lines of the plants #egret #horicon #birds #nature #photography

A black capped chickadee suspended upside while trying to get a snack #BirdoftheDay #Perched #birds #wildlife #nature #photography #chicagobirding

For #BirdOfTheDay theme #Bluewater, a beautifully lit mallard butt in a dazzling pool #mallard #nature #photography #birds

The Alt theme of #BirdOfTheDay, #UnsungBirds: I am a great lover of the Canadian Goose. They feel like a separate society that happens to live in Chicago with us humans #birds #chicago #canadiangoose

#BirdOfTheDay is #BirdSupermodel. Here is a posing Red Wing Blackbird from earlier this year #birds #nature #photography #chicago

A photographic Chickadee i got at the Montrose bird sanctuary yesterday #BlueSkies theme of #BirdOfTheDay #birds #nature #photography #chicago #BlueMonday

Another lovely Egret for today, with lovely textured wings #WingsOpenNotFlying #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #nature #photography #birdphotography

This pigeon had a strut to them. Saw them on the Egret Boardwalk in Horicon WI. #birds #pigeon

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Black&Red, it had to be a redwing blackbird! #redwingblackbird

#BestBeaks as #BirdOfTheDay theme: I choose to go with a beak being put to good use opposed to a pretty one. #nightheron #birds #chicagobirding

#BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Black&White Here is a classy warbler I got the other day. I am not a warbler specialist, so feel free to give an ID!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth. I went to Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin this week and am still sorting through the 1000 pictures I took, this one is my current favorite though. #horiconmarsh #egret #wisconsin #birds

E is for Egret #BirdOfTheDay #EFG #egret #horicon

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #LightAndShadow. I love the way the light filters through the leaves in this one #birds #sparrow #chicagobirding

My favorite place for a sunset. #golden #blueskyartshow #montrosepoint #sunset #chicago

Sticking with my favorite bird for #BirdOfTheDay theme #Elegant #birds #redwingblackbird #nature #chicagbirding #northpond

#BirdOfTheDay theme of a #Scruffy fits this young Red Wing Blackbird. They need a comb for their new head fuzz! #redwingblackbird #chicagobirding #birds

While staying in Gatlinburg TN I got this photo of a chickadee. #Paridae, #BirdOfTheDay. 💚 #Birds #gatlinburg

I have only been on Bluesky for a week or so, but I like this place. I feel the people here will appreciate this successful sparrow playing with parts of a cicada for example! #birds #sparrow #nature #chicagobirding

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ODG: any Owl, Duck, or Goose. I’m using this an excuse to share this sunset photo of the nightly goose convention on Montrose Beach in Chicago. Half the beach is roped off for the Piping Plovers, so the birds get their own private beach #canadiangoose #chicago #sunset

#BirdOfTheDay Alt: #BirdyLongLegs The confluence of the North Branch Chicago River and the North Shore Channel is a great place for watching black crowned night herons. #chicagoriver #nightheron
