#BirdOfTheDay theme #TheDivers Great Crested #Grebe (after a hairdo)

Brian Peterson @drbrianpet.bsky.social · 14h ago

The Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdStare Any bird looking at you staring you down trying to intimidate you to back off and retreat like this Osprey in Monterey

Also looking down its nose with disdain and contempt

#BirdOfTheDay alt is any bird staring at you. Killdeer One of my favorite bird encounters ever.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TheDivers. One of my favourite divers is the #PiedBilledGrebe, a little bird that will stake out a pond and systematically catch every fish in it. This one is very protective of its enormous sunfish. #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #Grebes #WildlifePhotography

A Pied-billed Grebe, a little diving bird that looks like a duck crossed with a gargoyle, floats in a pond while holding a large sunfish in its beak. It is giving the photographer some major side eye.

Alt. #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Corvids so here’s a crow #photography #birds #canonr100 #nature

A upper part photo of a crow showing all the feathers. The crow has a large dark beak with feathers on the upper part. Eyes are dark and feathers are dark but have a purple sheen to them. The background is light brown branches and green leaves of a tree on the right while bokeh green behind the bird.

Today’s #BirdoftheDay theme is #Corvids, which includes this endangered #FloridaScrubJay. I tell people they look like Blue Jays that have done hard time on a prison road crew! He goes clubbing a lot, and never takes off the wrist bands. Party on, Scrub Jay! #Birds

A Florida Scrub Jay on a limb. He’s blue on the back, and a dirty gray on the front. He has 4 bands on his legs.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Raptors, and the alt theme is #Corvids, so let's have a #RedTailedHawk chasing a #CommonRaven. In this picture, the Hawk has made itself as small as possible, while the Raven has done the opposite. #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #Hawks #Ravens #wildlife #nature

A Red-tailed Hawk chases a Common Raven through a partly cloudy sky. While the birds are about the same size, the Hawk has its wings tucked close to its body, while the Raven is spreading its wings wide, creating the illusion that it is much larger than its pursuer.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Redheads. Vulture Club Hanahan, South Carolina

Two Turkey Vultures standing on green grass in front of light brown shrubbery one in front of the other. Both are large birds with dark brown feathers highlighted at the edges with lighter brown. The one in front is facing to the left rear and has a red heat, black eyes and a white beak. The rear bird is facing to the right front and has a gray head and beak.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #Redheads. This #NorthernCardinal is, in fact, red all over, as is his breakfast. #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #Cardinals #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #NaturePhotography

A male Northern Cardinal, a bright red bird with a black mask and bib, perches on a bunch of bright red sumac berries and plucks one with his beak. The background is a creamy grey-brown.

Violet @fetchingviolet.bsky.social · 4d ago

From Alan H the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #LightAndShadow, any bird capture that has both. The alt is #FallBirds, any Autumn/ Fall bird captures. American Crow #birdphotography #birds #crows

The photo shows two American crows perched on the rim of a stone birdbath. The birds stand close together and one has its beak open as if calling, while the other looks down toward the water. Bright sunlight catches on their glossy feathers, while the surrounding leaves and the shaded side of the birdbath create a mix of light and shadow across the scene.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LightAndShadow. This #RedTailedHawk is maximising its shadow use to accentuate its glare. #birds #photography #BirdPhotography #hawks #wildlife #WildlifePhotography #nature #NaturePhotography

Close-up of the head and breast of a Red-tailed Hawk positioned against a creamy brown background. The hawk's face is partially in shadow; one eye is almost entirely in darkness, while the other glows a rich golden brown.
