Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts. The first picture of a bird I took while overseas this year as an avid birdwatcher was of a Woodpigeon.

On July 19th, I discovered a Song Sparrow had built her nest in the bush by my front walkway. She had three eggs. As of today, 2 eggs have hatched! I will keep taking photos from a safe distance and update here. :) #birds #birdwatching #birding #ottawa #urbanwildlife

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Preeners&Scratchers. As this is my big MOVING DAY to my new house, I thought I'd share a photo of a bird in my old house's back yard. My new yard is bigger and I've already identified 6 different species hanging around, so I'm pretty excited! #birding #birds
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Striples. There are some nice stripes on this Ring-Necked Pheasant's tail feathers. #birds #birding

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BorrowedPlaces. A Cooper's Hawk resting on my shed in my very tiny, very urban backyard. I'm sure he was looking for some juncos. #birds #birding #birdwatching
Today is apparently #Scape Friday. Something new for me to enjoy! Here is my submission for it... I took this picture in Ocala, Florida way back in 2013. We turned a corner and the fog and sunlight were hitting JUST RIGHT and I screamed for my friend to stop the car. #florida #photography
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LookingAtYou. This Common Whitethroat was watching me just as much as I was watching them! #birds #birding #birdwatching
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BadFeatherDay, and this photo definitely fits the theme. It was lightly raining, but I don’t think that’s why the feathers looked like this 🤔🪶 #モフ曜日 キツツキん曜日じゃないけど😅 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #GreatSpottedWoodpecker #アカゲラ #birds #野鳥 #BirdsSeenIn2026
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BadFeatherDay. An American Robin caught mid-preen. #birds #birding #birdwatching
