@alan678.bsky.social says the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #FirstWingbeat, capturing the instant of take-off. This Red-shouldered Hawk finally decided that was enough harassment for one morning. #birds
@alan678.bsky.social says today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #YourChoice
My choice is this picture of my neighborhood Osprey having bass for breakfast on the utility pole in my driveway. #birds
@alan678.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HiddenInPlainSight, birds partially concealed by foliage or grasses. I spotted this Great Horned Owl roosting in a bottlebrush tree. It had an easier time spotting me 🦉 #birds
@alan678.bsky.social says Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Stripes, any bird with stripes in their plumage. The first striped bird that comes to my mind is American Bittern. I got nice and close to this one at Florida’s Green Caye Wetlands. #birds #digiscoping
@alan678.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is celebrating #WorldOceansDay - I spent Saturday on a pelagic birding trip off the coast of San Diego, California. We saw an abundance of seabirds, but the highlight was probably this very cooperative Flesh-footed Shearwater. #birds
@robcrank68.bsky.social says Today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #LookingAtYou, any bird staring at you, the Alt Theme is #NewLife, any newly hatched chick. I found this new fledgling Northern Mockingbird this morning. Still getting fed by its parents. #birds
@robcrank68.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections, any bird reflection clear or rippled. Here is a male Wilson’s Phalarope feeding in a calm pond. More info in Alt. #birds

@robcrank68.bsky.social says Today's #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #Geese, any breed of Geese will do. This pair of Nene (a species of goose endemic to the Hawaiian Islands) were on territory in Hakalau NWR on the Big Island of Hawaii. #birds
For today's #BirdOfTheDay,
@alan678.bsky.social has chosen #InFlight - White-tailed Kites are one of my favorite in-flight subjects. I just wish I could get more opportunities! #birds
Alan @alan678.bsky.social has set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #SilentPresence. Capturing moments where a bird appears calm, watchful, or contemplative rather than active. We found this snoozing Western Screech-Owl during our Winter Arizona tour a few years ago. #VENTbird #birds
