A whimbrel perches on a pile of coral rocks in profile facing to the left. It’s long downward curved beak is very visible despite the bird blending in so well with the rocks due to its brown coloration.

Green Heron standing on a log in a marsh

Given today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongBeaks, there will be a lot of heron, egret, and hummingbird images posted. Like this Green Heron.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongBeaks, any bird with a Long Beak. #birds

As long as ‘long beaks ’ is relative to bird size, I’m sure this counts! 😄

#SaturdayVibes Rise and shine and have a peaceful day.

I would describe this as confused-iridescence...my theory is that light is striking his crown and gorget from two angles at once, from the sunlight to the east, and also bouncing off the glass feeder-bottle just off frame...so you get trippy double-iridescence firing from an Anna's male.

Freaky Friday... #iridescence 🤩

Also, a late entry for #BirdOfTheDay #longbeaks... 😉

Heron standing in a river, seen from above.

I took the picture of this heron from a bridge in Florence, Italy. It was standing perfectly still in the river Arno. Nice way to show off its long beak!

White-faced heron

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongBeaks, how about a white-faced heron from yesterday in Turangi, New Zealand. Look at the camouflage among the river rocks.

A late entry for #BirdoftheDay #LongBeaks, and this shot from today, and a different Great Blue Heron watches a passing Turkey Vulture. Odd to see them looking up rather than down. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife #Photography

It seems like the birds I photograph most ALL have long beaks, so here's a set of long beaks.

The white ibis used its long beak successfully while foraging. On its own, this ibis looks large but seen next to the great blue heron (whose head is still mostly in the photo), you see it's a small wader.

A great blue heron is on alert for breakfast as it scans the sky from the top of a post on the Okaloosa Pier. The blue sky behind the heron is brightened by the rising sun while a quarter moon hangs above to the left and soft clouds float by.
