Tree Swallow with wings extended.

Nigel & Norman Northern Shoveler were having a little dispute over who would be dating Nicki Northern Shoveler, but it was taking a long time due to chasing each other in circles. But that meant they didn't see Nicki head off 'wing in wing' with Nicolas, and i'm sure both Nigel & Norman would laugh about it in the end. Captured at WWT London Wetlands.

Lisa Lesser Black-backed Gull was having a dip and splash before visiting the pamper parlour before heading out on a blind date, and No it wasn't set up by Cilla Black-backed Gull's Tv Show 'Blind Feathers'. Captured at WWT London Wetlands.

This was Lilly Little Egret before her appearance on the hit tv show 'Come Eat With Me, and just so you all know Lilly's version of 'Ratatouille' won the show. But it didn't end well because Julie Jay sued her in court over using meat in the Ratatouille dish because Julie was a vegetarian and didn't get told about the meat. Captured at WWT Martin Mere.

Here's Roger Rose-ringed Parakeet checking on his neighbour Rita because he hadn't seen her for a few days, what Roger didn't know was that Rita had gone on holiday to visit her family in Africa. She booked the trip on 'Pet 2' airways and was really looking forward to catching up with her family after being apart for several years. Captured at WWT London Wetlands.

Good Morning Everyone.

A roadrunner is up on a patio table getting mealworms from a white ceramic bowl. The bird is facing the camera.

A roadrunner seen from behind as it stands on top of a blue metal tube fence. The bird is looking to the left and we see its beak is holding three or four large mealworms that the bird is probably taking back to a mate of baby birds on a nest. The bird is about to fly off of the fence and down a slope.

Bird on a mission! He was only here a couple minutes, I’m not sure I saw him eat any snacks but he is getting better at packing the beak!!

1- on the patio at the buffet

2- that beak 🤯😂 good job, Ravi 👍
On the fence for a few seconds and zoom

Kick that cat off the bed.
It’s fine. It’ll come back.
Your ability to sleep comfortably should not be dictated by a cat!!

Oh shit. Mine just saw me typing. Gotta go.

A perfect spring scene in a red horse chestnut tree. On the left, there's a nest box with a royal blue male bluebird perched on the edge of the hole into it. He's in the shadows and there are a few leaves just above the nest box. On the right, there's a beautiful female bluebird perched on a thin branch, facing left with the sun hitting her. She has a beige face, neck, and belly and light brown wings with a bit of pale blue on the outer edge as well as the crown of her head. Right below her, there are a bunch of small pink flowers. Behind her, there are blurred leaves, branches, and a bit of blue sky.

"I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more bluebird"

This little family that lives near me have been great models.

a "Circles in the Sand" event at Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint in Bandon, Oregon. in the foreground and center, visitors of all ages meander through a large, intricate sand labyrinth hand-drawn by artist Denny Dyke and his team of volunteers. the ephemeral art, known as a "dreamfield," features a single, continuous path designed for walking meditation that remains visible only until the next high tide. large sea stacks and rugged cliff faces frame the sandy beach.

My son and I walked the Circles in the Sand labyrinth this morning. The event is held every year from April through September at low tide.

A Great Blue Heron takes flight. It's wings are concave as it is lifting into flight.

I saw a nice Great Blue Heron yesterday. I kept clicking as he departed and got a shot where the wings are perfectly concave. Fun, fun click to get!

Three cormorants are sitting on a boat. One is sitting at the bow, turned towards the other two at the stern with its beak open. The two at the stern have turned away and are looking in different directions

A male Lazuli Bunting perched in a patch of purple Lupine flowers and looking at the camera. His feathers are fluffed so he looks pretty round.

We're a few weeks away from Lazuli Bunting season. Looking forward to it. #Petals&Perches #BirdoftheDay #birds

Male with colors of blue, light blue, white, and tan. Oh, and black around the eyes.

Lazuli Bunting!

This was the other morning over at the Paton Center for Buntings

A close-up photo of an eastern cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus floridanus) nestled in tall green grass, facing toward the left of frame, with tall ears, large dark eyes, brown and tan speckled fur, and a long blade of grass sticking out of its mouth.

A photo of a male cinnamon teal duck (Spatula cyanoptera) swimming toward the left in water covered with red floating aquatic fern. It is a striking chestnut colored duck with a dark cinnamon colored head, mottled brown back, bright red eyes, and a black bill. The lighting is dim and diffuse and tall green grasses grow in the background behind it.

A photo of a very small snake, perhaps a young aquatic garter snake, curled upon itself in a small patch of late afternoon sunlight on a log in a forest. It is black with an off-white stripe extending all the way down its back. It is surrounded by thorny-stemmed plants with bright green leaves.

A photo of a male yellow-headed blackbird (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus) launching itself off of the end of a cattail toward the right of frame, wings spread in front of it revealing white wing patches on its shoulders. It is a black songbird with a striking yellow head and neck with a black mask around its eyes and a sharp black beak. The lighting is dim and diffuse in the later afternoon or early evening with out of focus cattails, reeds, and water in the background.

Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge is really hopping with spring wildlife right now. Saw so much good stuff there last night. Thank you to @jonathanfoodie.bsky.social for always being its hype man on here so I'm inspired to go, and for so many other recommendations for nearby birding.

This hike goes along the top ridge of a large hill in San Luis Obispo, California. There are tall rock formations on the right side of the image, with a rocky trail and dry grass at the base. The view from the hilltop shows the city of San Luis Obispo and mountains in the background. The sky is patchy clouds and blue sky. South Hills Ridge Trail.

#RockinTuesday

The trail I hiked yesterday was on the rocky side! Sometimes you just had to blaze your own path over the rocks.

A male stonechat with a black head, white neck patch, and warm orange chest perches upright on a curved stem of bright yellow rapeseed flowers. It stands above a dense, softly blurred field of matching yellow blooms, creating a glowing golden backdrop. The bird faces slightly to the right, sharply in focus against the hazy sea of colour.

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Petals&Perches any bird with flowers in capture. The alt is #WhatTheFlock any capture of three or more of the same bird. Good luck. #birds #photography #ECK

A hyper-close-up (macro) view of a clear water droplet resting on a textured surface, surrounded by smaller droplets. The scene is bathed in soft purple and pink hues, with a blurred, bokeh-style background. The main droplet appears glossy and reflective, catching light with subtle rainbow-like highlights, while the surrounding droplets add sparkle and depth.
