The resident Bewick's wren was a late afternoon entry for #LightAndShade & #photogenic, as I find these little birds adorable.

A couple of weeks ago I read how mourning doves draw up water when they drink, "using their beaks like sipping straws. Saved $$ reusing a nice piece of ceramic leftover...using the "it might come in handy one day" philosophy 😀
Young mourning dove knows where to get a "draw" of water-Alt. #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #BirdingTX #Photogenic

Vertical photo of a pigeon-sized water bird with black feathering, long thin legs and tall feet, a bright rose-coloured beak and white forehead. The animal is running across a calm water surface with open wings, carrying some kind of aquatic plant with it in its beak. Its steps are leaving high splashes of water in their wake which, like the bird, are backlit by an invisible low sun. The strong backlight highlights the water splashes and the remiges of the animal as well as their reflections, while making both water surface and background look almost entirely black.

With the current #BirdOfTheDay alt theme, #LightAndShade by @alan678.bsky.social, it's definitely time again for one of my special #coot mating season captures! 💕

Osprey, staring at photographer. Head shot of bird of prey with white body, black back, black back of head finishing off in smaller black and brown lines kind of forming a mask around the yellow eyes.
Pine Warbler in a bird bath. Diminutive sized green back bird with yellow under, short beak. Photographed in mid splash, back feathers blurred from splish-splash bath action. Tiny black eyes and front of bird caught in sharper focus.
Small black and white bird on rot collar of a Florida Cherry tree. Warbler with black body and white stripes.
Red- Shouldered Hawk captured while observing photographer. Branches and leaves blurred in foreground of image, with the hawk being in sharper focus and softly lit from behind.
Entries for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Photogenic, birds you find photogenic, the Alt theme is #LightAndShade, bird captures with lighting contrast.

There are two magpies visible in the image.The birds are in a tree with numerous bare, intricate branches. The background is a bright, clear blue sky.One magpie is located in the upper left portion of the image, while the second is positioned in the lower left section.
This moment, frozen, framed, in time,
takes on the epic stature
of a metaphor, a myth:
what of the previous second
in our passing time? What
of the next second?
Where have those birds come from,
where may they go next? 🖤🖤
