Alan @alan678.bsky.social set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #SongBirds and the alternative is #PerfectlyPerched
Here are a few captures of Song Sparrows, the birds that are often heard before they are seen 🎶

Great close up capture 🤎🎶

A Song Thrush perched on a thin garden branch, its creamy chest marked with bold dark arrow-shaped spots. The bird looks alert, head tilted slightly upward, showing a slender yellow-based bill and a large glossy eye catching the light. Warm brown feathers cover its back and wings, while small red berry stems and green leaves frame the scene. The background is softly blurred green foliage, making the thrush stand out sharply in the sunlight. 🌿🐦

Good morning, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SongBirds any songbird and the alternative is #PerfectlyPerched any bird perched. I’ve went with a Song Thrush. Wishing you all good luck and a great day ahead. #birds #photography #ECK

Thank you, Keith! And any info always appreciated 🙏 The camera helps me analyze the birds that are too fast to recognize in the field.

Thank you, Rob! Good night 🙂😴

Thank you, Rob 🙏

My mind, maybe 😉

Ups, wrong thread 😀

No, thankfully.

It sure is a stunner!

Thank you, Tom! He stopped hopping for a moment.

Grey wolves howling

Makes me think of descriptions in nineteens century literature, with weary travelers scared by wolf's howling.

That is a great shot 🖤 Black is such a tough color to 📸

A close up portrait of the head, neck and upper body of an all black crow on an almost all black background with only the highlights on the bill, head and shoulder area standing out. The bird's head is in sideview and angled with the beak pointing upward to the right giving it a proud look.

Looked at some jay photos for today's corvid theme, but settled on a black-on-black, proud-looking Fish Crow (Corvus ossifragus) portrait. Fish Crows look almost identical to American Crows, but a little smaller and their call is different.

A large-scale outdoor mural on a building wall in Longmont, Colorado, depicting four women of different ages in a sequence where each is braiding the next person's hair, painted in realistic tones of brown and gold. Artist: Gamma Acosta.

Mural by Gamma Acosta in Longmont — four women braiding each other's hair across generations. Scale and meaning that stops you cold.

Thanks for taking a moment to look.

That is a stunning shot, Deb 👏

Close up of a Bohemian Waxwing eating red berries. There is snow on the berries and blue sky in the background. The bird is taupe with peach above the beak and on the cheek. There is a black band over the eyes.

Sorry about the weather! The pictures will keep you busy, and hopefully happy 👋

Thank you, Rob 🙏 Wishing you an awesome start of the week. Good night 🌛

Alan's @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #photogenic
But I find them all photogenic, which doesn't mean that they are not a challenge to capture 📸😢
