A very bright yellow bird with a small black cap and black-and-white wings clings to the side of a wire mesh finch feeder containing nyjer seed. His beak is open as he works on a seed, but his visible eye is half-closed. At the bottom left, the head of a red-feathered male house finch is visible. He appears to be inspecting the section of the feeder in front of his beak very closely.
Good morning! Today's small friends are this tired-looking American goldfinch in *almost* 100% complete summer fit and the house finch carefully insepcting his next bite.

This tiny bushtit is perched on the left side of a nearly bare branch of a bottlebrush plant that is dangling on a slant - down from left to right - with a spray of red-and-green bottlebrush leaves clustered on the top right and another spray on the bottom of the frame. In the background are the redwood uprights of my back deck. The bird is tiny, light brown and grey-ish, with its tiny left eye glaring at us from within the bird's fuzzy brown/grey feathering.

A dark-colored bird with yellow eyes, slightly larger than an American robin, clings to the cage around a bird feeder with its claws. Its head is down and forward, giving it a hunched and vaguely threatening posture. It appears to be glaring in rage down its pointed beak at something just to the left of the viewer.
Today's small friend is this common grackle—the bronzed variety, though that's not super obvious here—who has just spotted someone using AI to rewrite a casual text to a friend.

A medium-sized bird with a dark grey head and white underparts is captured in a stunning mid-air hover over a summer meadow. Its wings are arched upward, revealing a soft, translucent quality to the feathers, while its broad tail is fanned out, showing a distinctive white band along the tip. The bird is positioned over a lush field of tall green grasses and scattered yellow wildflowers, all set against a soft, creamy green background that emphasizes the action of the flight.

This is a male reed bunting, seen from behind as it perches on a reed stalk. A reed panicle in the foreground partially obscures the bird. A blurred thicket of reeds forms the background.

Another decent pre-telephoto shot. Here, surrounded by a field of grass with the occasional tall weed, stands a lone great blue heron. Its blue-ish colors and rounded bird body don't closely resemble a tall, thin plant. And yet, here the bird is reading as if it's a plant.
