My #BirdOfTheDay entry today is an Anna’s Hummingbird that fits both the main theme, #RedOrDead — any bird with red in the capture but not on the bird (or a bird on bare winter branches) — and the alt theme, #SummerVisitors — migratory birds associated with summer. 🪶 #ECK
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Speckled — just like this female Red-winged Blackbird, who is neither red-winged nor black. 🪶 #ECK
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Firsts — some of your earliest bird captures. This House Finch was one of the first birds I captured with my new camera — a big step up from my phone. 🪶 #EKC
It’s #BestOfJuly day at #BirdOfTheDay — This little juvenile Northern Cardinal was a regular at the feeder last month and quickly became a favorite. 🪶 #ECK
Today’s alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HedgingYourBets, so here is Norm the Northern Cardinal in a hedge. 🪶 #EKC
My July reads I just finished the last installment of @sularigentill.bsky.social ‘s Rowland Sinclair series—mysteries that center on a group of fictional Australians who encounter historical figures during the rise of fascism in the 1930s. The themes, of course, are all too timely. #booksky
Though it’s already tomorrow in Ireland, from whence #BirdOfTheDay originates, I’m sneaking in a last-minute entry for the alt theme #Yellow. #AmericanGoldfinch 🪶 #ECK
Made it all the way to page 268 and thought I was in the clear. But no.
Mary M@marynh.bsky.social · last mo.Noooooooo!!!!!! Make it stop. 📚💙
The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CHE — Cormorants, Herons and Egrets. I have a whole series of pictures of this Great Blue Heron, and every one of them looks more like a painting than a photograph. Nature is magical. 🪶 #ECK
Not everyone loses their sense of wonder. Some people still stop for butterflies, smile at frogs, listen for owls, and wake early just to watch the sunrise. May we never become too busy to notice the little miracles that make life beautiful.
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #LastBird – the last bird/birds on your camera roll. I was surprised to see this Eastern Bluebird at the feeder yesterday. They are regulars in the winter, but seeds usually can’t compete with the tasty bugs available in the summer. 🪶 #ECK
Great Spangled Fritillary perches on the flowers of a butterfly bush #butterfly #ECK #naturephotography
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social is #TantalisingTextures—“Smooth soft feathers of any bird contrasted with rough hard surfaces.” This American Robin’s soft feathers contrast nicely with the gnarled branches and rough bark of a bare tree. 🪶 #ECK
My son took this photo of the sun as smoke from Canadian wildfires blew our way
For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Orange, I am pleased to present both this Baltimore Oriole and his lunch. 🪶 #ECK
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Cutie and the alt theme is #TheWaitingGame. This cutie is a mama Killdeer playing the waiting game as she sits on her eggs right at the edge of a parking lot. #birds #ECK
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Peekaboo, so here’s an Indigo Bunting having a shy day. #birds #ECK
