Meanwhile the rest of us are still checking the weather like it owes us money.
Just 12 days until Spring — but who’s counting? 🌱😂

The #birdoftheday theme is #WinterSurvivors: birds that remain through the winter. Here are a couple of the usual suspects: male and female cardinals and a tufted titmouse. 🪶

A lucky capture of a Northern Harrier in flight, caught in the near distance flying over the marsh at Ridgefield NWR. It is a large brown hawk with an owl-like face disc flying with canted wings over the brown and dried marsh grasses.

In Florida, we get to enjoy a greatly increased number of birds here over the winter. The Tricolor Heron is one that's here year-round. I watched this Tricolor Heron catch and swallow a good breakfast this morning!

A black and white woodpecket clings to the side of a tree. The gray tree bark is coveted with green moss. Snow falls against a dark background.

Not many birds stick around northern Illinois for the winter. But the few that do sure are beautiful. #BirdoftheDay #WinterSurvivors Hairy woodpecker on the left, Downy woodpecker on the right. (Same tree for scale)
#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WinterSurvivors - birds that remain throughout the winter. There are a number of Egrets, including this Snowy that can be seen all year round near where I live. #birds #birdphotography#birdsinflight #nature #BirdWatching

This photos depicts a white throated sparrow perched on a branch with multiple clusters of berries. The sparrow has its feathers fluffed up against the cold. The berries are a reddish brown color and the bird has tan feathers on its back, a white belly and throat, and yellow stripes above its eyes. There is a dusting of snow on the berries and blurry flakes of snow floating across the frame.
A white throated sparrow for #BirdOfTheDay #WinterSurvivors. What a cute floof! This one is staying warm in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas.

Pair of cardinals sitting in a tree with snow on the branches. Female on the right is fully visible and facing three quarters towards the camera. Males face is blocked by a small branch and may be facing slightly away from camera.
Male cardinal sitting in a tree facing the camera with some snow on the branches. Tree trunk takes up much of the middle of the photo behind the bird which is slightly to the right of center.
A blue jay has just landed on a snow covered porch roof to grab a peanut, which is held horizontally in its beak. Its right wing is out and tail feathers are spread as it prepares to take off.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme set by Alan @alan678.bsky.social is #WinterSurvivors, birds that remain throughout your winter season.
A couple of classics: cardinals in the snow and a blue jay I bribed with peanuts.

A picture of a Coot centre frame facing left with its distinctive black feathers and white beak taking a sip of the rippling water on a lake.
It doesn't look wintery, but the temp was 0 oc today and the Coots are definitely #WinterSurvivors for @alan678.bsky.social #BirdoftheDay theme. #birds #nature #photography #EastCoastKin #ukbirding

Yellow-billed Chough is another double for @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay: #WinterSurvivors and #corvids as the alternate theme. #Birds
I checked in on the Lonely cattle-egret today.
Apparently he has moved on to greener🐮pastures, with the coming of Spring🌱
Good for Him!

Black-capped Chickadee perched on a frost-covered branch against a clear winter sky. Feathers slightly fluffed in the cold air, balancing lightly on the ice-lined twigs.

per Alan the theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #WinterSurvivors, birds that remain throughout winter. A Black-capped Chickadee, one of the winter stalwarts on the Palouse, looking for larva in moss galls on a wild rose the other day. It posed for a good view of that black cap. 🪶 #birds

Anna's Hummingbirds are wicked cool #WinterSurvivors - at night they go into torpor dropping body temp and heart rate. They fuel up on sugar water and bugs during the day.
They can also melt snow with their fury alone.

A Least Sandpiper, head turned and snuggled into its body. Standing on a rock at the side of the harbour in light rain.
#WinterSurvivors is the #BirdoftheDay theme and the Least Sandpipers always seem to be along the harbour walls - rain or shine. Surviving winter in NorCal isn't the struggle it might be elsewhere, 50F/10C and rain has this bird snuggled up. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife #OMSystem #OM3
