The vermilion flycatcher, a small bird with a bright red head and a black back. If it turned around, it's chest would match it's red head ❣️ He's sitting on a simple branch with a green background..

Blue tit bathing in shallow water, photographed at eye level. The bird’s blue, yellow and white feathers are fluffed, with water droplets splashing around it. The soft golden background creates a calm, painterly atmosphere.

A bird in the hand… This female greenfinch had to have some R&R after startling itself by flying into my house a few summers ago. Locally, their decline in numbers is noticeable. #ShortBeaks #BirdOfTheDay #birds 🪶 #eastcoastkin #nature

A white-crowned sparrow with a bright pink beak (I think I overdid the color in this, but I do recall being intrigued by its very pink beak). It is sitting on a stretched out branch of a plant with long thin leaves, back towards the viewer, head in profile to the left.

BotD theme is short beaks. Have a robin, dunnock and coal tit. All with short beaks. Throwing in a starling. Longer beak (proportional to body) but way shorter than, say, a pelican’s. Right? 🤣 All from today

Whilst fondly termed robin redbreast, the robin’s feathers are actually orange. We didn’t have a name in the UK for this colour until the fruit started to be imported in the 14thC. It took another few hundred years for it to become the name for a colour. #ShortBeaks #BirdOfTheDay #birds 🪶

It is only January. Yet, global politics remain ever contentious and present in all our lives. Don't you wish you were a Lesser Antillean Bullfinch?

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShortBeaks or #ShortBeak or #Short Beak. Here's an American Tree Sparrow with a short, two colored beak, dark on the upper and yellow on the lower. That feature alone makes them pretty easy to identify among other similar looking sparrowish birds.

A goldfinch in fall plumage sits on a thin branch of a bush. Its body is facing away from the camera, and its head it turned to the left. It has been eating and has some seed debris on top of its beak. In the top left of the frame a spent flower hangs down.
