I took a bunch of images in 2018 and could make no sense of them. So you can help. #Smallgroundfinch is Merlin's take.

A small grayish bird with a speckled chest sits on a thick, bare branch against a green background. The bird has a short tail and a short blunt yellow beak.

For @javajanegallery.co.uk’s #SmallBirdSaturday, I have a bird that has “small” as part of its name. #SmallGroundFinch #Galapagos #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

A tiny hummingbird with very puffed up feathers sits on a thin branch in front of a purple feeder. The bird is green with a white belly and throat.

A large bird huddles in the frame. The bird is blue-green in color with hints of lavender. Its chest is white and it has long yellow legs and a lon sharp yellow beak. Its feathers are all askew.

A tiny dark bird sits on a mottled branch. Its dappled stomach feathers are all puffed out.

Two brown doves sit on a rose of sand. They have electric blue eye rings. The bird on the right sits normally. The bird on the left is huddled down and puffed out with white-tipped feathers that resemble porcupine quills.

The prompt for #BirdOfTheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social is #RuffledFeathers. I tend to call them “fluffy edition.”😂 #RubyThroatedHummingbird #TricoloredHeron #SmallGroundFinch #GalapagosDove (with compare/contrast visual aid😜) #birds #WildlifePhotography #EastCoastKin
