Side view of two greater flamingoes standing in shallow water in a lagoon. One has its head under the water as it sifts for snacks, the other is raising its head from the water; its neck, in an s-shape, is partially submerged.

A juvenile Red-necked Phalarope swimming to the right on blue water. Its face, throat, and breast are whitish, contrasting with the dark brown crown and nape. A dark eye stripe and finely patterned dark back are visible. Its reflection and spreading ripples appear on the water beneath it.
青い水面を右に向かって泳ぐアカエリヒレアシシギの幼鳥。顔から喉、胸にかけては白っぽく、濃い褐色の頭頂から後頭部と対照的に見える。目を横切る黒っぽい線と細かな模様のある暗色の背が見える。水面には姿が映り、周囲には波紋が広がっている。

Dramatically staring into the middle distance and happily showing off her perky tail feathers, this Blue-gray Gnatcatcher fits the bill for a #BirdSupermodel. #BirdOfTheDay #ECK #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

A small light gray bird with a white eye ring and white underparts stands on a thin curving twig against a bright green background facing left and staring into the middle distance contemplatively. Her dark gray tail feathers, outlined in white, are held up vertically behind her giving her a bouncy, perky energy.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is celebrating birds with the #BestBeaks! The common grackle's beak has a kind of downturned frown. Combined with those glaring yellow eyes, they always look grumpy. 🪶 #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #photography #birdphotography #FeatheredFriday #Flyday

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Black&White; any shot in black and white. Putting a monochrome filter on this picture of a mourning dove gives it a noir-ish feeling. It’s turned into a mystery, and we’re all suspects. #Birds🪶

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Black&White; any shot in black and white. Mute swan , Knobbelzwaan - Cygnus olor

Knobbelzwaan - Cygnus olor - in tegenlicht op het water. De zon schijnt zo fel dat het water een volledig wit vlak lijkt en een rietkraag op de achtergrond een zwarte wand. De vogel is geheel donker op een witte contourlijn na die afsteekt tegen de donkere rietkraag. Volledig zwart-wit kent de natuur niet maar dit beeld komt in de buurt.

View from side and behind of a great blue heron standing by the edge of a lake fringed with leaves. The bird's neck is hunched into an "s" shape, below the level of its shoulders, as it glares into the placid water.
