The long neck of a white swan reaches down with the orange-beaked head searching through the plentiful green sea plants below the clear water's surface in the shallows. In the middle at the bottom there is my copyright saying 'C. P. / All rights reserved. Do not reupload. Do not use with/for any kind of AI.'
I'm off on a busy WE (stage photos for friends tmrw 😁) but I can't let @robcrank68.bsky.social's #DivingForFood theme slip.
Last year I experimented with high-angle through-the-surface shots of a mute #swan and this is one of the best results.

KERSPLASH! A black crowned night heron plunging into the water after a fish, there is a curtain of water thrown up in the foreground that is perfectly transparent so you can see the bird through it. Green plants in the background
OK, I used this for #BirdOfTheDay 2 months ago, but with today's theme being #DivingForFood , how could I not repost? Black-crowned Night Heron doing Extremely Black-crowned Night Heron things at Kealia Pond NWR. #birds 🦉📷🌿

An American coot standing on a slightly sloping patch of gray dirt. The bird is black, with a white bill, red eye, yellowish green legs and large bluish green feet.
It's #FeatheredFriday and the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DivingForFood, so here's a versatile diving/dabbing/pecking American coot 📷🦉🪶

A 2-layer cake with the bottom half covered with blue icing for the sea, and puffins sitting on top of the green grass top layer. A puffin’s bottom is sticking up from the sea as it dives for food.
Does this cake, made by my daughter for a bird-themed cake competition at work, qualify for #DivingForFood #BirdOfTheDay ?!

A male Surf Scoter is a black and white bird with a very impressive beak, in the style of Jimmy Durante.

#birdoftheday #divingforfood
Out on the boardwalk yesterday at Billy Frank Jr Nisqually NWR and there were quite a few Surf Scoters diving for small crabs (and enjoying them immensely by the looks of things.)

A small, streak-breasted songbird is standing in a shallow stream with its wings lifted and spread as it splashes in the water. Its feathers are patterned in gray, brown, and white stripes, and its bright orange beak is open, gripping a worm of some sort. Water droplets arc through the air around the bird, caught mid-splash, and concentric ripples spread across the stream’s surface beneath it. The bird’s reflection is visible in the water, slightly distorted by the movement. Sunlight sparkles off the droplets and the ripples, creating bright highlights and cool blue reflections. The background is softly blurred with branches and stones, while the foreground fades into a pale haze, keeping the focus on the bird and its freshly caught meal.
A Northern Waterthrush grabbing a bite.

An osprey with brown wings stretched high above its white body as it splashes across the water searching for food.
Practice, practice...This #BirdOfTheDay osprey came up empty after #DivingForFood. Better luck next time, buddy!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DivingForFood, birds that dive under water for food. It was a joy watching this Little Grebe diving for food to feed it's chick at Hestercombe House & Gardens, Somerset (August 2025). #somersetbirding #ukwildlife #birds @robcrank68.bsky.social

I'm not sure who had the bigger mouth in this photo -- the Great Blue Heron or the Largemouth Bass it was trying to swallow?

White bird with its long white wings fully extended above it hovers 30' over the shallow water of a slough.
White bird with long slender wings half folded in dives for the water below it. The impression is that the bird is moving fast. A bank of natural gasses is behind it.

Never could get a good shot of it diving - it was too fast.

An Atlantic Puffin returning to the colony, possibly from a fruitless fishing trip? #divingforfood is the theme of today, as per @robcrank68.bsky.social. Taken a few years ago in #Iceland. Enjoy!
