A barred owl is perched on a bare diagonal branch, looking over its shoulder at the camera. To the left of the owl a Steller’s jay has its beak open, mid-squawk. The background is a jumble of green leaves and brown branches, mostly out of focus.
A surprisingly common #MixedPair. When barred owls hang out in the woods the Steller’s jays are often nearby, sounding an alarm. #birdoftheday #nature #ThursJay #birds #photography

A snowy egret and a common moorhen stand back to back in the middle of the frame. The egret is in front, looking towards the bottom left of the frame. The moorhen is directly behind it, facing right.
A #MixedPair for today's #BirdOfTheDay from Rob

This #MixedPair was not to the liking of the hawk; it amazed me that the Northern mockingbird actually landed on its tail.

A #mixedpair or maybe a more apt description, an odd pair of birds. A Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and a Red-shouldered Hawk with the gnatcatcher not happy with the presence of the Hawk!

On a tree branch covered with budding reddish leaves sits a little gray bird with a white belly. The bird has a salmon patch on its side, a gray crest on its head, and a short black beak. On a branch behind it, a yellow bird faces the camera.
