A Canada geese couple with three goslings along with a mallard duck couple are pictured at the shoreline of the Illinois River at Peoria. Two goslings are poking around on the rocky beach while their parents watch, while the third gosling is approaching the water. The mallard couple is behind them, near what appears to be a dock or pier, the female on the shore, the male still in the water.
And eastern spot billed duck and roughly eight ducklings are seen in a small creek running through the Kenroku gardens in Kanazawa, Japan. The mother is standing in the water while the ducklings are bobbing in the water and practicing feeding.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AdulsWithChicks, and capture of an Adult with its young.

Black and white long exposure photograph of a wooden mooring post standing on a rocky breakwater at Brouwersdam, the Netherlands. The rocks are covered in seaweed and barnacles. The long exposure renders the sea as a smooth, misty surface and streaks the overcast clouds across the sky, creating a sense of stillness and motion at once. The composition places the post slightly left of center, with the breakwater extending from the lower left into the frame. The tonal range moves from dark rocks in the foreground through soft greys in the water to lighter tones in the dramatic sky. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.
Vandaag aanwezig geweest bij @pixlife.bsky.social Expersience @sea. Inspirende lezingen bijgewoond en ook zelf aan het eind van de dag nog even naar buiten geweest met de camera.

A male Western Bluebird perches on a bare winter branch against a pale blue sky. Its vivid royal blue head and wings contrast with a warm rusty-orange breast and pale gray belly.

In the left side of the frame, a dock with three seagulls sitting on the railings and a life buoy hung on a post can be seen as can its reflections in the water. The ripples in the water fade to almost nothing towards the right side of the frame. The background behind the dock is entirely white, as is the upper portion of the right side of the frame due to fog.

It is the absence of a background that made this shot interesting to me. A foggy day by Lake Ontario.

A Goldcrest (Regulus regulus), Europe’s smallest bird, bathing in shallow water. The bird is partially submerged and photographed at water level. Water droplets spray upward from its head and back, frozen in mid-air. The bird’s olive-green and yellowish plumage is wet and ruffled. Its dark eye and fine bill are sharply in focus. The water surface around the bird shows ripples and small bubbles. The background is a smooth, dark green bokeh with soft circular highlights. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.

A Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) perched on a moss-covered branch, seen from a slightly rear angle. The bird holds a small fish crosswise in its bright orange and dark beak. Its plumage displays vivid cobalt blue on the crown, wings, and back, with warm orange on the breast and cheeks, and a white patch on the side of the neck. The bird’s feathers are slightly ruffled. The branch extends from left to right, with green moss covering the left portion. The background is a smooth, soft green bokeh. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.
The #BirdOfTheDay theme for today, set by @alan678.bsky.social, is #blue.
The ultimate blue gem. A Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) perched on a mossy branch, prize firmly in beak.

A wide-field astrophotography image showing the Leo Triplet galaxies against a vast, dark sky filled with stars. At the top center, the bright blue-white star Chertan (Theta Leonis) shines with prominent X-shaped diffraction spikes. In the lower-center, three distinct galaxies are visible: M65 and M66 appear as glowing, angled spirals, while NGC 3628 (The Hamburger Galaxy) is seen edge-on with a thick dust lane and a very faint, wispy tidal tail stretching into the void.
The Leo Triplet:
M65
M66
NGC 3628 - The Hamburger Galaxy. Look closely and you can see its tidal tail: a trail of stars and gas extending into space as a result of gravitational forces from nearby galaxies.
About 5 hours of integration at 135mm.

An Adélie penguin is pictured close upwith its body facing the camera, feet cut off, its head turned to the left. Rest of the frame is filled with snow and ice.
A group of seagulls is standing on a dock with one seagull with its wings out, mounting another seagull.
Two eagles are on an ice floe with a fish. The one of the left has its back to the camera, is an immature roughly four year old, has its wings partially up and out while the one on the right is older, possibly mature, with its head down, possibly eating.
Per @robcrank68.bsky.social, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying; any bird with its wings open but not in flight.
Penguins feel like cheating, so I added in a seagull not interested in flying and eagles arguing over a fish.
