A small bird with fluffy feathers staring at the camera. it has extremely fluffy orange-white breast feathers with black spots, a face with black and white vertical stripes, and a grayish head.
The #BirdOfTheDay #alt theme is #juveniles. For my last-minute offering, here's a juvenile male american kestrel. (a.k.a. "the fluffy falcon.")

Bird with a white face, red on the back of the head, black-and-white patterned wings and a downy white breast grips a tree and aims its straight beak at it. They're called "red-breasted" because there is a splash of pink clear down on the part of the breast by its feet, even though the color on the back of the head is usually brighter and easier to see.
Today’s theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Woodland, birds you might find in woodlands near you. Slipping in at the last moment, my offering is this red-bellied woodpecker from the woods in the town greenbelt.

A golden crowned sparrow behind a tuft of new green grass. The birds throat and cheeks are a light gray and they fade into a brown gray on its chest and belly. Its wings are mottled with dark chocolate, light brown and white. Its tail is dark gray. Above its white beak is its golden crown perched between two dark blue black stripes that go along the sides of the bird’s crown. It’s eyes are dark brown.

For today’s #birdoftheday alt theme of #juveniles I think these Mourning Doves qualify because they fledged today.

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Woodland, birds you might find in woodlands near you.
How about a couple of woodpeckers? Red-headed and red-bellied.
Two extremely fluffy owlets sitting side by side, both staring intently in the same direction. They’re in a nest of brown leaves stuffed in the branches of an old oak tree.
Here’s my contribution to today’s #BirdOfTheDay #juveniles theme, a pair of fluffy #GreatHorned owlets checking out their world. #birds
Yucatan Woodpecker, from the island of Cozumel
Puerto Rican Woodpecker
Hispaniolan Woodpecker from the Dominican Republic
Per @alan678.bsky.social the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Woodland; nothing more "Woodland" than a woodpecker. So three woodpeckers from the Caribbean, IDs in alt text. #birds
The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Woodland and this #HermitThursh no doubt qualifies! A champion of the understory who sometimes pops out for good views.

Photo by Kort Duce A male northern flicker peeks out from its nest cavity in a cottonwood tree in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the textured bark fills the frame, revealing varied shades of gray, brown, and black. In the upper left quadrant, a dark, rounded opening interrupts the trunk. From within, the male flicker’s head emerges—its signature red marking visible, and its beak smudged with debris from the nest.

Nice shot and #BirdOfTheDay theme Alan. More of us will be going to #Woodland to see our birds over the summer! I always feel like I’ve had a good day out when I’ve seen a Treecreeper - and I almost didn’t see this one.

A brown striped chick nestled under it's black colored silkie mom
Photo of 2 chicks so small they can fit with ease in the palm of a hand. They are both yellow with a little black patterning on their wings.
Three broody hens watch over a group of chicks in a small brooder. One hen is brown with frizzled feathers, another is brown with patterning, and the last is a black silkie who's head and neck fade to silver. The chicks are an assortment of colors: yellow, black and buff.
Now for some more cute chicks for #BirdOfTheDay to fit the theme #Juveniles

Hume's Treecreeper, a small brown bird with short, sharp, decurved bill, whitish underparts, looking whitish supercilium and warm rufous tail and vent. Bigger and longer than Eurasian Treecreeper and confined to upland forests in Myanmar and small pockets of other SE Asian countries. Perched vertically on the very mossy trunk of a large tree.
