A small brown sparrow walks along the edge of a moss-covered stone in light rain, one foot lifted mid-step. Fine raindrops streak through the dark, blurred background, while the bird’s soft, streaked feathers appear slightly fluffed against the damp, giving a quiet, resilient feel to the scene.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #weather a favourite shot in any weather we can see…..rain, wind, snow etc. The alt is #riverbank any bird capture on the banks of a waterway. Remember that walk to school in the rain anyone? 😁 #birds #photography #ECK

Mitten im Übersiedlungschaos bin ich vorgestern kurz birden gegangen, um den Kopf mal zu lüften. Und traf dabei tatsächlich auf eine Rarität bei uns: eine Uferschnepfe (Limosa limosa) 😍. #ebird #birding #birdoftheday

I think this is the backside of a juvenile American Herring Gull. He is dark brown and gray and had just taken off from a lake on Mt. Hood with water dripping from his right wing and various water spots nearby.

Not the nicest background, but it's always nice to see a Golden Eagle.

Pale grey background, brown and green long grasses in foreground, with shadowy image of a Great Blue Heron behind. Its legs and feet are outstretched, closest wing to viewer is outstretched upward and blurred, the wing is upstretched and slightly blurred.

Sometimes a camera setting can ruin a photo. Or does it? See the result when a bird takes flight on a misty morning, one forgets to check shutter speed, & autofocus strikes.

Today's Alternate #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Gulls. This ring-billed gull has just splashed in the Des Moines River south of Saylorville Lake and is trying to regain the air.

Today’s theme is large birds in flight. I’ve got a buzzard flying that is bigger than an aeroplane… will that do, @robcrank68.bsky.social ?

The wing of a Brown pelican that didn't care that I was standing here first. The horizon is crooked because I was ducking, but the Cancun waves are pale green and churning with foam. The sky is pale and filtered by clouds.

I've got one #LargeBirdsInFlight photo, and by god, I'm going to use it. 🪶😅 #BirdOfTheDay

My boyfriend hates them, but this pelican was his idea.
