For today’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme #Coots&Moorhens, I offer this Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) that we saw on a floating habitat garden on a canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In addition to creating habitat for birds & butterflies, these floating gardens also reduce water pollution.

Photo of a bird bending down to peck at something amongst the mass of bright green leaves. The bird has a dark head & a brightly colored red & yellow beak. The feathers around its neck & throat are tinged with purple. It has white feathers on the back edges of its wings & brownish feathers on its back.

Per Rob, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Paridae. The Alt theme is #Coots&Moorhens. A mountain chickadee (Albuquerque, NM) and a collage of tufted titmice (Charlotte, NC) for the main theme. #birds #ECK #birdphotography #chickadees #titmice #nature #wildlife

This photo is of a small bird perched on a branch against the backdrop of a light blue sky. The bird is seen directly from below. The bird has a black stripe behind its eyes with a white band above the stripe. The neck area is also black with the underparts being grey. The bird is oriented facing left and in the middle of the frame.

A photo of a chestnut-backed chickadee (Poecile rufescens) perched on a Douglas-fir branch, holding a small winged seed in its beak, facing to the left. It is a tiny songbird with a reddish-brown back, dark brown head with bright white cheeks, dark brownish-gray wings and tail, a small black beak, and blue-gray legs. It is surrounded by dense green conifer needles and two brown pine cones.

From Rob Crank (keeping you in my thoughts 🙏) today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Paridae, any of the species. The Alt theme is #Coots&Moorhens, any Coot or Moorhen will do. Moorhens #birds #birdphotography #moorhen

The photo shows a Common Gallinule (also called a moorhen) swimming on calm water. The adult bird has a dark body, a bright red shield on its forehead, and a red bill tipped with yellow. A small, dark, downy chick swims close beside it, staying near the adult as they move through the water.

My condolences go out to Rob today. 💔 #BirdOfTheDay #Paridae 🪶

A blue tit hangs in the center of the frame off a blackberry bush, his head fully turned around to look behind his back so that his breast faces left but his small beak points right. The blackberries are on the left side of the frame, showing clusters of ripe black berries and unripe red berries sprouting off a thorny branch leaning diagonally from the top left of the frame to the center left. Behind him, wide green and yellow leaves are blurred.
The blue tit has the traditional coloring of a pale yellow breast, grey wings with blue and white edging, and white face with blue streaks across the crown, cheeks and through the black eye.

A cute little oak titmouse on a thick branch covered in lichen in the forest. The bird has a gray head and wings, a white body, and black eyes and beak, and an adorable crest. It's facing about 4 o'clock with its head pointed down. There are waky green leaves around it. The background is a jumble of blurred thin branches and leaves.
