Happy late #FeatheredFriday friends... been gone all day and I just saw the request for the #birdoftheday post. May I present the ultimate #birdbutt (imo), a Winter Wren... who's rear end also shows what "flip the bird" means. π #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #eastcoastkin #photographyπ¦π·πͺΆ

A great egret is bending over the nest it is building, using its long yellow-orange bill to place or arrange the sticks. The bootie of this large white bird is positioned high in the air due to the extreme length of its black legs. Covering the bird's bootie are long feathers called aigrettes that are a part of its breeding plumage. It also displays bright green lores (the facial skin behind the bill) that are part of its breeding attire. The tree holding the nest is bare of leaves. The background is blurred green pond water.

Happy #FeatheredFriday!! From a couple weeks back at the Smith Oaks rookery (High Island, TX), a Great Egret makes some finishing touches on a nest while showing off the aigrettes that are part of its breeding plumage.

Did you know? Cassowaries (Casuarius spp.) are fluorescent. Their headgear glows under UV light, a bit like GFP in the lab: tinyurl.com/5n7xuacm. πΈ Benjamin BalΓ‘zs, via Wikimedia Commons (CC0) #Birds #FeatheredFriday
Extra fun fact: Feral pigeons' wings are also fluorescent!

Center frame, perched behind a nettle of branches sits a male Eastern Towhee, facing and looking right, who first attracted me by his call, "Drink your tea....". Note the black head and beak, with red eyes, rufous sides and white front.
Happy Good #FeatheredFriday friends. Been gone all day and finally have a chance to post something. I love these large, colorful sparrows. #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin

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.

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 π¦π·πͺΆ
