I like the one where he’s farther away and the one where he’s looking at me. Red and regal. #northerncardinals #birdsky #birds #cardinals

First day that the lions are back! I was too late to record, so here they are in April 2020. 🪶 #Birdsky
New baby alert! Two new bombshells have entered the villa.
Up first: the red-bellied woodpecker! I always hear them but never had one come to my feeder until today! #birdsky
view of two white pigeons, laying together in a nest, in the corner of a wooden shelf, attached to a white wall, only the heads of both and front right side of the body of the pigeon on the left are visible, with the pair standing close together side by side touching their heads near their beaks

Photo of a gull perched on one pink leg on a solitary wooden beach volleyball post. The gull is in borb mode with their neck tucked and the impression of a content smile on their face due to the angle of their head towards the camera. The background is out-of-focus blue ocean and an opposite bank that fills the frame with trees and white blobs of buildings.

Hawk against blue sky
One of the red-tailed hawks who flew over. This one was screeching loudly! Then found a friend and came back. #BirdSky
A female mallard duck swims near the edge of a pond. On the shore, a raccoon watches intently. In the foreground, the lingering splashes of a second duck that has already taken off.
A photo from today's walk in the wetlands. I was not the only one out watching ducks :)

Tday’s #birdoftheday theme set by @alan678.bsky.social is #manmadeperch any bird perched on a manmade object.
Here is a Mountain #Bluebird on a chain link fence. This rarity popped up in North Vancouver Island last week and thrilled the birders in our community.

A photo of a Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri), a medium-sized songbird with a deep blue torso, back, belly, and wings and a black head with dark eyes, a black beak, and a tall crest. It is perched high on a thin brownish-gray lichen-dotted tree branch on a sunny day with a clear blue sky behind it and other thin branches around it. One creates a dark shadow across its blue breast as it faces the camera with its head turned toward the right, its feathers slightly puffed out.
Thursjay blessings.
A photo of a barred owl (Strix varia), a large gray owl with brown vertical stripes, a rounded head with no ear tufts, a sharp yellow beak, and black eyes sitting atop a large yellow street sign indicating a school bus stop ahead. Tall pine trees make up the backdrop.

Considering the Bird Buddy. Is this a good camera? A good price?

In the foreground a male cardinal (left side) and a red-bellied woodpecker (right) eat seed on a large rock with a bronze memorial plaque embedded in it. This is all against a leafy, grassy green background.
I’m going for a two-fer for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ManMadePerch AND the alt theme of #NaturalPerch, though it could be a stretch. It’s not because there are two birds in the pic. Rather, they’re both perched on a rock (natural) with a plaque (man made). #Birds #BirdSky 🪶

Group of Whistling ducks with a Muscovy Duck at the bottom of the picture
There are lots of water fowl where I live & it's duckling season so I'm always on the lookout for the little fluffballs. But today I stumbled upon this group of Whistling Ducks who are definitely up to something. Love the Muscovy photobomb at the bottom of the pic too 😆😆 #BirdSky
The image depicts an Audubon yellow-rumped warbler in flight close to a flying insect it's about to capture for food. The bird has a black head, grey plumage on it's spead open wings, a yellow diamond shaped spot on it's rump. It's tail feathers are black & white. The background is solid blue sky, in WA State on March 16, 2026. 📸 Robert Haney of Yelm, WA.

A gannet in flight, black-tipped wings outstretched against a clear blue sky. The bird is lit such that the leading edges of the wings have a bright white highlight and the big white primary wing feathers seem translucent. The head is tinged an orangey-yellow, and the eyes are greeny-blue and outlined in black behind a long, sharp beak, and the feet are tucked away neatly to maximise aerodynamic performance. The sheer size of the bird, with its nearly two-metre wingspan, is not at all apparent.
Turns out that with a bit of luck, you can take a picture of a bird in flight from a very small bouncy boat, so long as the bird is really big, like this #gannet.
