Baltimore Orioles definitely have #blackheads and are the #birdoftheday.

A group of seabirds congregating on the shoreline of a wetlands. The birds are mostly white, with black heads and orange beaks.

Great day at the wetlands, and here are some terns for #birdoftheday. Perhaps Royal Terns, or else Elegant Terns.

What beautiful #blackheads.

Hello everyone. A late contribution for the #BirdoftheDay theme #Blackheads hosted by @robcrank68.bsky.social. #birds #nature #photography #ECK #ukbirding

Bird with black and brown feathers and a bright yellow beak wades in a pond.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlackHeads. This was the first and last time I've gotten this close to a #sora. They are so shy.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlackHeads. There's some black on the Carolina Chickadee and the Tufted Titmouse. #birds

Yes, an obvious choice for today’s theme!

American Crow mid-stride across the snow, one foot lifted like it’s on a mission. This one walks instead of hops, covering ground with a steady, no-nonsense pace.

Arctic Tern

A male surf scoter swimming grey-green water. He has a black body and head and red legs. His head is also white on the back of his neck and forehead. He has a clownishly bright orange and white beak, and eyes with white irises and pin prick black pupils.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay the theme courtesy of Rob & Alan is #Blackheads so this oystercatcher seen on the Norfolk UK coast in March is also a #BirdsSeenIn2026

Black pigeon on a chimney. The background is light blue sky. The pigeon is almost completely black, including its beak. The breastfeathers are iridescent like on a feral pidgeon

This #pigeon I saw today does have some #black on its head.

Square-tailed Drongo-cuckoo, a medium sized black bird with a long black tail with a very shallow fork, darker below, glossy above, with white barring on undertail and a narrow, decurved black bill. Perched on a bare branch in trees. Drongo-cuckoos are members of the cuckoo family that strongly mimic black species of Drongo (which are in the corvid family). Key differences are the cuckoo-like thin, decurved bill and the white-tipped undertail coverts. Drongo-cuckoos are brood parasites of babbler species and it's unclear exactly how mimicking drongos benefits them.

Photo of a Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) perched on a branch, holding a peanut in her beak. This bird is mostly black and white in colouration - white underside, black back and tail, wings mostly black but each with a wide white bar and lots of white spots, heads mostly white with black markings (black crown, and a black stripe surrounding the cheek). The vent (the underside of the rump) however is red. There is no red patch on the back of the head of this one, which means she is a female. Her body is facing away from us and turned slightly to the right, with her head turned to face directly to the right, so we see the full extent of her longish grey Woodpecker beak.

#BlackHeads – any bird with black (not pimples!) on their head –is the theme for #BirdOfTheDay today. Both of the previous 2 posts in this thread qualify but as it is #WoodpeckerWednesday here is a Great Spotted Woodpecker photographed in mid-Wales in 2024. #Birds #BirdPhotography #UKWildlife #EKC 🌿

A beautiful American robin perched proudly on a twisted, broken branch in a forest. Its body is facing to the right but its head is facing the camera and tipped up so you can see the black and white pattern on its neck. There's beautiful light on the bird and part of the branch. The background is blurred with green and cream bokeh.

You lookin' to me?

A pair of Caspian Terns, standing on the muddy bank of the Corte Madera Creek at low tides. Both had been flying along the creek with many succesful dives.

Some true #BlackHeads this time for another #BirdoftheDay post, and this pair of Caspian Terns were patrolling the Corte Madera Creek today, with a stop off to discuss dives. #Birds 🪶 #ECK
