Vegetation in the water makes good eating for this ala’e ‘ula (Hawaiian gallinule) and also makes a wonderful background for #Reflections of the red forehead shield. So here’s my offering for #BirdOfTheDay on the theme from @robcrank68.bsky.social

Could I call this a threefer? The #BirdOfTheDay theme is bird names beginning with #JKLMNOP and both kolea and (Pacific golden) plover fit the bill. This was taken in a park near downtown Hilo, which is #Urban if you’re not picky. Thanks @alan678.bsky.social

Look around in the mountain forests of Hawai’i Island and you’ll hear (and maybe see) ‘apapane. Here’s one of the #Juveniles on a cloudy #Woodland morning for a #BirdOfTheDay twofer. With thanks to @alan678.bsky.social for the themes!

“It’s too early to pose. If you must take that photo, you’re getting #BirdButt.” And so this house finch becomes my #BirdOfTheDay - theme set by @robcrank68.bsky.social

Spotted doves are fairly common in East Hawai’i, but for whatever reason I have relatively few photos of them. I’m glad to share this one on a #ManMadePerch for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @alan678.bsky.social

They’re cantankerous and noisy, but what an amazing shock of yellow on their #BlackHeads so this common myna is my contribution to today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @robcrank68.bsky.social

True #Warblers are rare in the Hawaiian Islands and I haven’t seen it photographed one, so I’m sharing this snow goose for the alt theme of #RareEncounters - they’re not frequent visitors. Thanks for the themes, @alan678.bsky.social

Two birds in the Hawaiian mountain forests definitely rock the #Black&Red color scheme. This ‘apapane gets the nod for #BirdOfTheDay - the i’iwi will certainly get its day soon enough. Thanks to @robcrank68.bsky.social for the theme.

Raindrops fall past this ala’e ‘ula (Hawaiian gallinule) and glisten in its feathers to display the #weather which didn’t slow its search for food in marshy ground. #BirdOfTheDay theme courtesy of @alan678.bsky.social today!

I haven’t been able to go far from home this month, so my #BestOfTheMonth #BirdOfTheDay is this zebra dove posed on a church sign in morning light. Thanks to @robcrank68.bsky.social for the theme.

Ok. This Muscovy duck has #RuffledFeathers but is also doing its level best to get them in place, so it gets to be #BirdOfTheDay for today’s theme from @alan678.bsky.social

This kalij pheasant shows off the #blue in its feathering with a little bit of attitude. I probably deserved that look. Thanks for the #BirdOfTheDay theme, @alan678.bsky.social

This time with photo: Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme took some speculation, but in the end there’s no denying the #speckled feathering of the kolea (Pacific golden plover). Have a good trip, @alan678.bsky.social

It was early yesterday morning that I found this mejiro (warbling white eye) singing away with wide #OpenBeak in silhouette. Thanks for a #BirdOfTheDay theme which encouraged me to share it, @robcrank68.bsky.social

Let’s see. Red, black, and a flash of white feathers on this ‘apapane qualifies as #Tricolour for today’s primary #BirdOfTheDay theme, and it’s a #YearRound bird in Hawai’i for the twofer from @alan678.bsky.social

The kolea (Pacific golden plover) is not the only #Migratory species in Hawai’i, but its 2000 mile nonstop overwater flight to and from Alaska makes it very well known and #BirdOfTheDay - oh, they’re #BugCatchers, too. Thanks @alan678.bsky.social for the themes.
