Sorry, couldn't find the gulls. ๐ฅด
Turkey Vultures... are cool. They like to do horaltic poses at dawn, like vulture yoga, as demonstrated by this committee up in the pines. Zen birding.
๐คจ... #BirdOfTheDay today is any bird with #raisedwings, you say? ๐ชถ๐ฟ

Two nest-building swallows, both in flight next to their putative nest, mostly composed so far of mud-wasp pupa houses. Not in this shot, but in the series, one of the birds brought a long stick which is absolutely useless in this context.
"...and next time, bring something *useful*, not another stick!"

They say today's #BirdOfTheDay today is any bird with #raisedwings so I had to throw in my favorite Turkey Vulture picture. I spotted these two drying their wings in the sun at the Lost Mound National Wildlife Refuge.

Nothing like getting photobombed by your Duck friend when youโre trying to show off
I went to the Verplanck riverfront along the Hudson River this afternoon and apparently this Duck got the #BirdoftheDay #raisedwings memo. He even got photobombed once in the process.

I hope @robcrank68.bsky.social youโre sitting down as you may fall off your perch at this one! ๐. Iโm risking life & limb in posting this for @alan678.bsky.social #raisedwings but it was irresistible! (Shhh they are PKFs -x2๐คฃ๐คฃ!!!) Think Iโll disappear now ๐ณ #EastCoastKin #photography
The image depictsย a large California Condor perched on a rocky outcrop with its wings fully extended for sunning.ย The bird is dark-feathered with a distinctive featherless head and neck and is positioned prominently amidst a rugged, rocky landscape in its natural habitat of a mountainous canyon region.ย A small white number tag "02" is visible on the bird's wing.ย I was quite a distance away on the Navajo Bridge.

A white and black Laughing Gull in flies, wings extended above it, in a light blue sky. Cumulus clouds behind it look as if they are trailing behind it.
