A very late addition to yesterday’s #birdoftheday for #beakful I shot this through my kitchen window way back in 2008. The Robin was lunch and it’s kind of sad but amazing to see raw nature so close to home. #BOTD #hawk #lunch #canonrebelxt
A male rainbow bee-eater with a bee in its beak approaching a branch with a female perched on it
The male bee-eater is proffering the bee, and the female has turned her head away. Sigh.
A bee-eater perched on a dead branch holding a dragonfly almost as long as it in its beak. Probably wondering what to do next.
The bee-eater whacking the dragonfly against the branch.
More rainbow bee-eaters, #beakful
In the first pair, the male is bringing a gift to the female, and she spurns him. Life, eh.
In the second, the bee-eater has branched out

For #birdoftheday here's a gull at the White Rock, BC pier with a #beakful of purple starfish! #birds
#Birdoftheday is #beakful 🪶 Here’s a cool #anhinga that I didn’t get to see enough of this past spring, and a #yellowcrownednightheron and an #americangoldfinch having a snack.

This had to be done and I was a little busy earlier sorting yesterday's photos, so here goes with what I missed out in my earlier post for the BOTD theme of #Beakful
Various Kingfishers with fish and the 3rd one is expelling a pellet

A green and brown small heron has a fish halfway down its throat. The tail of the fish sticks out of the beak. The bird stands on a green mudbank with 2 fallen logs lying horizontally behind the bird
A Green heron attempting to swallow a fish seems to qualify for #BirdoftheDay theme of #beakful. Also, #wader. A twofer!
A great blue heron has speared a fish with its lower beak. It stands against a marshy greenish yellow background.
Now how are you going eat it?
#BirdoftheDay is #Beakful or #Wading. (Although you can’t tell, this #Heron is also wading.)

That time I caught a Raven cawing on the power lines with some sort of baked good filling its beak. Trippy.
What surprised me the most was NOT that the Raven stole a bagel somewhere, but that he could still say "CA-CAW!" with that in his piehole! 🤯
Another #beakful for today's #BirdOfTheDay! I mean... when else would this come up? 🪶

Oh this is a fun one, #beakful for #BirdofTheDay. #birds #photography
Photo of a puffin coming in to land with a beak full of small fish to feed it's chicks / partner on the nest. The bird has its wings wide open and flared to slow it down, its body is dropped at an angle along with its bright orange feet. It has the black / grey wings and white chest and belly typical of a puffin as well as the slightly comical clown like face with its black top of head white face dark eyes and vibrant orange beak. the background is the out of focus blue sea.
Coming in with a #beakful 2025
Plenty of activity at Sule Skerry in the N Atlantic this summer, but it was noticeable that many of the #Puffin were coming in with fish and not sand-eels

A jumble of half a dozen gannets collecting grass and other foliage for nesting material. The bird in the foreground has its wings raised.
There's definitely a #beakful in there somewhere for Alan's #birdoftheday

Great image for #BirdOfTheDay #Beakful Alan - stunning colours. Here’s a random selection from me - the Whitethroat was a treat to see and yes, the Grey Heron did get it all down!

A little late for #BirdOfTheDay, but I always enjoy seeing a bird with a #beakful.
#BirdOfTheDay theme is #Beakful

With a crop already full of pocket gopher, this Red-tailed Hawk has little room for the rest so I grabbed a bunch of captures with its beak stuffed full up on a power pole over the cholla patch.
💙 Good morning Bluesky! Time for the #BirdOfTheDay theme and it is #Beakful , so anything in the beak from food to nest material...🌿
...which made me think of my Red-tailed Hawk finishing its pocket gopher-lunch off. 🫣🪶

A photo (shooting into sun so captured more of a silhouette w/reflection) of a curlew, one foot submerged in the wet sand, the other leg lifted a bit in mid stride. There is a sand dab in its long, arched beak.

This guy was causing quite a commotion and using every trick in the book to get the peanut open! #BirdOfTheDay #Beakful #Bluejay #Peanut #EastCoastKin #VT
A sunlit white-backed vulture flying on a clear blue sky, carrying a twig with a few leaves to build it's nest.
My first post for #BirdoftheDay and a personal favourite for #Beakful
Taken a few years back, this is for me, a sweet variation on the symbolism of a dove with an olive branch.
