Desert shrubs typically have very thin branches, but they provide plenty of opportunities for little birds like this black-throated sparrow on which to perch. They weigh only 0.5 ounce (15 g). This sparrow was at Homolovi State Park in Arizona. #BirdOfTheDay #ThinPerches #Birds #StateParks
@helenbennett.bsky.social Helen’s alt #BirdOfTheDay theme: #BuntingBirds any bird with Bunting in their name. Since I’ve beaten my Painted Bunting photos to death, I’ll offer a Lazuli Bunting (AZ trip of a lifetime). #birds #birdohotography

Why am I so jealous of a bird with such great hair!!? 🪶 Yuma, AZ 🌎 ~ August 2026 #simple #birdoftheday #birdphotography #photography #greathair
@robcrank68.bsky.social Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay is #ColourfulCharacters, any bird with colourful plumage. The Alt theme is #Herons&Egrets, any of both species. I think this Great Blue Heron will have to suffice for both since I’m lazy today 😴 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography
This week's #FlyDay is all about the #Raptors with a Buzzard, Short Eared Owl, Kestrel & Peregrine Falcon captured at various venues in 2024 (my first year of Wildlife Photography). #birds #ECK #BirdsOfPrey @rspb.bsky.social #naturephotography #CanonR5mkii #NatureTherapy #ukbirding #birdphotography

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @alan678.bsky.social is: #RainyDayBirds, any bird captured in the rain or that has wet plumage. Rainy day Raven. 🪶
The #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #RainyDayBirds, any bird captured in the rain or that has wet plumage. Around here much of the rain comes frozen so I'll assume snow qualifies for the theme. In any event odds are that this Barrow's Goldeneye is also wet from diving. Prince William Sound #Alaska 🪶🦑

Hello my wonderful bird friends. The #BirdOfTheDay alt-theme is #FlyingHigh. Here is a Blue-footed Booby scanning the harbor below in Loreto, Mexico, just seconds before it plunged into the water. #birding #birdphotography #birds #naturephotography #bajabirds #boobies #bluefootedboobies

Earlier this week, bulldozers were moving through Big Bend National Park, where ESA protections have been waived. 🌵 We heard the welcome news that these activities have been paused. However, ABC is still deeply concerned and in touch with local partners who are documenting the damage.
I'm going to post another #hummingbird for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Iridescence. This bird made an appearance a while back, but in a different shot. Amazing the difference the right light can make. Crowned woodnymph #birds #costarica #photography
