Duelling or mating ?

This works for both themes of #BirdOfTheDay, #Petals&Perches any bird with flowers in capture. The alt is #WhatTheFlock any capture of three or more of the same bird. #birds #photography #ECK #WestCoastKin #PhotographersUnited

From a couple of years ago, a Mama Wood Duck & 3 ducklings & Foxglove

I blocked him.

I like the colour of the Columbines .

They have blue butts lol .

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

Mockingbird having a snack . I still haven't found out what type of berry this is .

Close-up of a Song Thrush, a member of the Turdidae, perched among leafy branches and red stems dotted with small dark berries. The bird faces right, its warm brown upperparts glowing in sunlight, while its creamy chest is boldly marked with dark, arrow-shaped spots. A sharp eye and fine, slightly speckled bill are in crisp focus, with a softly blurred blue-and-green background giving a calm, garden feel.

Good afternoon folks.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ComeEatWithMe, birds who have food in their beaks. The Alt Theme is #Turdidae, any of the bird species in this group. Hmmm, I’m going with a Song Thrush for the alt.
