This little cutie Song Sparrow kept me company on a visit to Juanita Bay Park.

Hummingbirds were #PerfectlyPerched on this small twig last summer. #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

Great Egret, perched at top of a leafless tree. Large wader, complete coverage in white feathers, long black legs extending down to tree branches. Wind blowing longer strands of feathers of back out behind the bird. Lit nicely by the setting sun.

Green Heron standing on tree branch. Medium sized heron, dark green back, reddish brown under, distinctive orange legs. Standing on a branch above a swampy section covered in thick green algae.

Good evening. Two ALT entries....

Today's theme of #SongBirds, any songbird, the Alt theme is #PerfectlyPerched, any bird perched.

Here's a #SongBirds who is also #PerfectlyPerched. A Tropical Kingbird seen near Sierpe, Costa Rica in January 2026. He's a ways away from the camera but I wanted to capture the greenery in the photo.

The amount of hours I have spent waiting for birds to land on my garden trellis is probably unhealthy… #PerfectlyPerched #BirdOfTheDay #birds #nature #photography

Female Cardinal perched in a Japanese Maple tree. There’s a sparrow hidden a bit in the backyard between limbs of the tree.

I’m looking forward to seeing a #PerfectlyPerched Swallow and a #Bluesky like this again soon.
A perching Song Thrush is perfect for your #BirdOfTheDay themes Alan.

A Laughing Gull roosts on an old dock post at the beach surveying its domain on a sunny day at the Gulf Coast.

Do gulls perch? This Laughing Gull has FOUND the perfect perch. It's a step up from padding around down on the sand with its buddies, and easier than soaring around all day. But is it 'perching' —or 'roosting'?
Let us not be pedantic here and say close enuf.

On a stronger branch, with quite a lot of lichen growing on it, a flustered robin. Lit from behind, so it's delicate feathers seem to glow.

#BirdOfTheDay with the theme of #SongBirds, any songbird, the Alt theme is #PerfectlyPerched, any bird perched.

#Bird on a stick - a #robin presented itself to me today.

a close-up view of a small bird perched on a horizontal branch amidst lush green foliage. the bird is a juvenile Black Phoebe, characterized by its somewhat brownish-grey, fluffy plumage on the head and back, and a white belly and undertail area. it has a relatively large head, a short, straight black bill, and an alert, upright posture typical of flycatchers. the background consists of blurred green leaves.

A Black Phoebe perched on a branch for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Songbirds and the alt of #PerfectlyPerched, as set by Alan @alan678.bsky.social. Do I get bonus points for hitting both, Alan? 😉

A pair of bald eagles, mating. The female has her beak open and is perched atop a bank of stadium lights. The male has wings spread as he lands on her back. Grey sky background.

This juvenile red-tailed hawk flew up and perched about 10 feet away from me! Took no notice of me, either. Signs of a juvenile: light eyes. Red-tail eyes get darker as they age. And, lack of the eponymous red tail feathers, which don't appear until around one year of age. This was taken in December, and the hawk was born in the spring.

A Field Sparrow sits on a slender branch among sunlit green leaves, facing right in warm golden light, its back to the viewer. Its soft gray breast, warm reddish crown, and delicate pink bill glow in the evening sun while the small bird balances lightly with its tail trailing behind, its head turned to its right shoulder so it is looking at the camera, clearly a lady with an attitude.

A Black-throated Sparrow perches on a smooth gray branch, body angled left so we see his chest; he is looking over his left shoulder. The small desert sparrow shows a pale gray face with bold black-and-white stripes and a sharply defined triangular black throat patch above a soft gray belly. Fresh green leaves frame the branch against a softly blurred background. The little bird is a fella that was in the mood.

A Song Sparrow perches on a lichen-dusted branch against a bright blue sky, its brown streaks and central chest spot clearly visible. Facing left with an upright stance and its back to the viewer, the sparrow shows layered feather patterns along its back and tail while pale green lichens decorate the branch beneath its feet. The bird is looking over its left shoulder at the camera, alert and composed. Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it.

A Savannah Sparrow stands atop a pale yellow post beside deep blue water, facing right, tummy and chest visible, with its tail extended behind it. Its finely streaked breast and yellow eyebrow catch the warm sunlight while the background fades into a smooth blue blur. Balanced neatly on the flat perch, the small sparrow on its tiny stage is framed by light and open space. It looks sharply to the left to strike a pose; there’s nothing to it.

A male Eastern Towhee (white-eyed) has a black throat, head and back, a rusty red side, and white belly. He is viewed from the side and has an open beak singing with his head lifted. He is perched on an unripe green cluster of berries atop a stem of Beautyberry, with its green/yellow leaves obscuring his tail and below him. The background is clear olive green which darkens away from the bird. Most Eastern Towhees have a dark reddish eye, but this bird's eye is striking pale yellow, a characteristic found only in birds in Florida and some part of the south U.S.

A light-eyed, male Eastern Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus alleni) is my #BirdoftheDay for the #Songbirds theme and is also #PerfectlyPerched (alternate theme) on Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve.

I'm so happy, got my first ever picture of a Goldfinch (European) 🥳

It also fits to today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, #SongBirds and to the alternative theme #PerfectlyPerched.
