Our neighborhood red-shouldered hawk Leviticus caught mid-launch from a set constructed of winter tulip poplar flower skeletons — ballet meets biomechanics. Talons en pointe, wings at full extension. Choreographed liftoff. #InMotion #BirdOfTheDay #RSHA
Heckle and Jeckle, Barred Owl siblings raised in our Durham NC yard during the 2024 summer. Branchlings still figuring out the wing thing; one balanced, one workshopping a repositioning maneuver. #Pairs #BirdOfTheDay #BAOW
Carolina Wren, full-throated teakettle-teakettle in the rain. 20 grams of bird, wildly disproportionate volume. SO LOUD. Durham, NC.

The backyard bath's informal "two splashers max" policy, strictly enforced by a pair of American Robins. Vigorous bathing realigns feather barbs and flushes ectoparasites; essential upkeep when you're defending turf and feeding babies. Durham, NC. #SplashingAround #AMRO @robcrank68.bsky.social
Imagine, you’re finally the star in a movie about your life, or at least how you take a bath, and this diva just walks onto the stage, unannounced, and steals the show with THAT LOOK. #OvenBirdUpstage #birding
Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, breeding plumes raised, posing beside Iris pseudacorus — beautiful, and unfortunately invasive in NA wetlands. Alas, the heron didn't make the landscaping decisions. Sandy Creek Park, Durham, NC. #YCNH #PetalsAndPerches #BirdOfTheDay
“Here, I got these bugs for you.” Common Grackle with a beak-full of crunchy snacks for #BirdOfTheDay #mouthful.
Rorschach test, avian edition.
Striking Great Egret! The water handled the symmetry.

"Can I help you?" TFW you make eye contact with a Great Egret and realize you're the one being watched. Its neck is a spring-loaded spear, with 20 cervical vertebrae coiled and ready to strike at fish faster than you can blink.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #RockSolid any bird captured, perched on or standing by rocks or on a rocky surface. The alt is #mouthful any bird with a mouthful of food. Good luck. 🤞
Here’s a Meadow Pipit on a stone wall taken yesterday.
