A tan, black, grey, and white colored black-capped chickadee perched on top of a metal hook with a red stained fence blurred in the background. It is raining, which has resulted in white tilted vertical lines appearing randomly in the image.

A small streaky brown bird with red highlights around his head and chest and down his back sits forlornly on a thin twig in profile facing right against a gloomy dark brown background. His feathers are wet and puffed up against a cold rain that is falling around him. He is transitioning to his breeding colors which will show a full head of red and deeper highlights on his chest and back.
Looking forward to brighter days ahead.

A zebra finch perches on a branch, surrounded by lush green leaves. It has a striking orange cheek patch and a black-and-white striped chest.
Did you know? Zebra finches (Taeniopygia sp.) dream in music. While they are sleeping, their brains show the same activity as when they are singing, almost as if they were practicing in their dreams: tinyurl.com/ympw7rx8 📸 HLI-Photography, via Wikimedia Commons (CC0)

An Osprey is perched at the top of a post with blurred dunes and a gentle blue sky in the background. The bird is looking slightly to its left showing off a large yellow eye and a hooked black beak. The bird's wings, back and side are mostly a deep brown. The top of its head is white with brown streaks behind the beak. The belly is white and the chest is white with brown streaks. It has a thick brown streak going from the eye to the neck that makes the eye look even more dramatic. The long curved talons are visible as it clings to the post.
Happy #FeatheredFriday!! I just finished going through my photos from a fantastic birding trip this week. An absolute standout was getting to walk so close to this beautiful Osprey at the beach and not scaring him/her off. Amazing experience!

Happy #FeatheredFriday friends... watched these two Black-necked Stilts begin marking off their territorial boundaries yesterday, chasing away a pair of Greater Yellowlegs who happened into the same area. #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin 🦉📷🪶

Center left of frame, facing viewers left and looking left. If you notice their beak is open and if you know what they sound like when calling, you may actually believe you hear them.... b/c this dude would not shut up to save their soul.
Happy #FeatheredFriday friends... spent all day birding and am going over the memory card. In keeping w/the #birdoftheday #grounded theme, I present a Killdeer who arrived w/numbers and bringing noisiness back to the marshes😀 #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #photography #eastcoastkin 🦉📷🪶

Photo of two mallards in a swimming pool, one lunging toward the other. A female stands on the cement deck and faces away from them, pretending not to notice the kerfuffle.
The aggressor's wings are high as he shoves his opponent under the splashing water with his feet. The female on deck remains unengaged in the commotion.
The defeated mallard is on the deck, heading away from the pool. Behind him the aggressor has leapt from the water, beating his wings and, with head low and neck outstretched, issues an opened-beak hiss. The female is no longer in the frame.
This relationship is definitely broken. A drama in three acts.

@tomukenta.bsky.social @oldpostie.bsky.social @annaquent.bsky.social Thank you for the repost this morning! Hope you have a fantastic #FeatheredFriday! 😉💙🙏✨
Looking like 5 miles of bad road, for a House Finch, this male is caught looking over the edge of the concrete block he's standing on so it looks like he's having a rather depressing day...
Appropriately, I think...
...a House Finch I named 'Gary Busey'...

A close up of the head and upper body of an anhinga shows bright blue and green eye skin and tufts of lighter feathers on the head and neck that indicate breeding plumage. Otherwise, the bird is a deep black with white markings on its back. The anhinga has its long neck partially retracted into an s-shape and its long dagger-like bill that is mostly gray on the top and mostly dull orange-yellow on the bottom. The background is totally blurred out and is just a neutral canvas.
Happy #FeatheredFriday!! From yesterday at #BrazosBendSP (TX), this Anhinga let me get up close and personal. Since he was sporting his breeding attire, I can only assume that he was out in the open looking for the ladies!

A group of double crested cormorants standing on a giant buoy made out of wooden logs and tied with rope. One of the birds has its wings outstretched, the others are just perched, standing or sitting. There is a pale sky in the background.
