A wet little Patagonian Lapwing....on our first day there....of course. The weather did not improve much, but we had fun anyway.

American Bittern doing the stare down. This is useful for when they’re looking down in the water for food as well, instead of just staring at annoying photographers.

Take a picture - it will last longer
…. Oh wait, I’m the one with the camera.

A Great Kiskadee on a post in the rain. They have a bright yellow breast and a black and white face.

Battling through the rain in Rio De Janiero, I managed to take this shot of a Great Kiskadee who was as wet as me.

A close-up photograph of a Eurasian Tree Sparrow facing the camera with its beak open, showing the inside of its mouth. The bird has a brown head, black markings around the cheeks, and pale brown and beige plumage. The background is softly blurred. 正面から撮影されたスズメのクローズアップ写真。嘴を開き、口の中が見えている。頭部は茶色で、頬の周囲に黒い模様があり、体は淡い茶色とベージュの羽毛に覆われている。背景は大きくぼかされている。

Not only did this Sparrow let me get really close, it even showed me the inside of its mouth — full-service hospitality 😊🪶
今年最後の #土アップ の日ですね。

PING TITS!

It’s that time of year when these very reclusive birds emerge from the reeds in search of grit to help their stomachs adjust from a summer diet of insects to a winter one of seeds. OK, you can call them bearded reedlings if you really must.

#Bahrain #Birds Pied Kingfisher, an irregular passage migrant. Some years, they are not to be found; in others, two or three birds will stop by equally at home on the shore or at any fresh water pond.

Someone was trying to take a portrait of their two fave Chickens, and this happened.

A small bird with a strikingly vibrant yellow chest and face, contrasted by glossy dark blue or black feathers on its head and back, perched on a pale green surface against a dark green background.

A small white shorebird with dark markings around its head stands on sand, staring directly at the camera. Photographed in Oxnard, California.

Caught in a quiet stare-down with a Snowy Plover.

Thanks to ongoing efforts to protect and restore fragile coastal habitats, these threatened shorebirds are slowly beginning to rebound.

An adult male Red-Tailed Hawk flies straight towards me with his legs dangling. He has bright brown eyes and a thirst for rodents.

This is Charlie, our local resident male Red-Tailed Hawk, on rodent patrol in the park early this morning. Happy Friday. 🪶

Forward facing bird?
How about a grumpy Chiffchaff? 😂 #birds

A golden breasted starling stares down the camera

Here's one of my favorite shots from a few years ago 😂

Page of digital sketches of three male Brewer's Blackbirds, all facing forward (or mostly). On left, the bird is standing tall and alert with his neck stretched slightly, and he is colored with bright iridescent purple and blue. The other two are sketched in more muted grays. Upper right, the bird is calling upward with beak open and with tiny pupils. Lower right, he is puffed up, looking straight on, as if about to sing and show how buff he is to the ladies.

Hey bsky. My favorite thing right now is forward-facing Brewer's Blackbirds. Just so you know.

Show me your forward-facing birds! 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

Oh hi there, this Atlantic Yellow-Nosed Albatross chick wants you to have a wonderful day.
