Great blue. #BirdOfTheDay #Waders #eck 📷🌿🪶

A photo of a great blue heron (Ardea herodias) perched on a moss-covered branch, its body angled away from the camera while its head turns to look right. Long, shaggy gray plumes drape down its back and chest, and warm golden light catches the cream-colored neck, white face, and dark gray stripe above the bright yellow eye. Its long, dagger-like orange bill points to the right. The background is a blur of green foliage and blue sky.

An interesting thing about the monk parakeets in Barcelona is that the city monitors their movements, but the birds kept removing any rings on put on their legs with their strong beaks, so now lots of them wear these huge tags on collars around their necks like dogs. 🪶

A photo of a monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) perched on an outstretched open palm, eating sunflower seeds. It's a small parrots with a green back and wings, a pale gray face and breast, and a pinkish-orange bill. A relatively large round black tag stamped "W57" hangs from its neck. Empty seed shells and a few whole seeds lie across the hand. The wrist wears a green and cream marbled watch band. Behind them is a sandy park path edged with grass, a dark iron gate on the left, and a black lamp post on the right. It's a bright, sunny day.

Last weekend we went to Ft. Stevens to see some birds and as we were driving out of the park, this magnificent creature posed in a tree along the side of the road. I was driving so my brother captured this for me through the passenger side window. #Birds #ThursJay #Raven #ECK

A Common Raven perched on a bare branch in the crook of a mossy tree. Its body is facing the camera with its head turned towards the right frame. Its beak is tilted upwards and just slightly ajar. The light is soft and shows the oily iridescent look of its neck and shoulder feathers. It also shows a reflection in its eye.

I had my first Sanderling experience over the weekend and I am already plotting another visit to to coast. #Birds #WaderWednesday #BlueWater #BirdOfTheDay #ECK

Four small and adorable shorebirds standing in shallow blue water. They are stacked front to back with the nearest to the camera being #1. The first and third birds are standing facing the right with their faces exposed. The second and fourth have their necks bent so their faces are hidden. They all have white bellies, grey patterned wings, black legs, and black bills. Their heads are grey on top with a line of grey from the bill to behind the eye and otherwise are white. The water is fairly placid where they are standing with a small wave near the fourth bird and a slightly larger wave further out.

A photo of an American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) perched on top of a cut log, head turned back over its shoulder to the right and beak open mid-call. It's a very large songbird with glossy black plumage that has a faint iridescent sheen, a black beak, black legs, and dark eyes. The background is a soft blur of deep green foliage with pale bokeh highlights. The lighting is dim and diffuse on a cloudy day.

The photo shows a Carolina Chickadee perched on the metal perch of a tube-style bird feeder. The bird is small, with a black cap and throat, bright white cheeks, and soft gray wings and body. The bird as a sunflower seed in its beak. The feeder is a clear cylinder filled with mixed seeds, with metal fittings and openings. Behind the bird, the background is a blur of green foliage.

A small sunlit brown shorebird with a short dark beak, white eyebrow, white underparts, and a black ring around its neck leans forward toward the left in very shallow blue water with its head angled down toward the beach below as it begins to search for food. Small groups of bubbles dot the water as it rushes back to the ocean which creates a wavy reflection of the bird below it.

Will travel for cones! Red Crossbills have a specialized bill designed for prying open the stiff cones of conifers in order to get the nutritious seeds on the inside. These enigmatic birds will nest anywhere, at any time of year, provided there is an abundance of food.

A female yellow-headed blackbird showing her beauty at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado.

In this vertical color photograph, a female yellow-headed blackbird fills the frame as she faces the camera with her head turned slightly to her right, revealing the left side of her face. Her neck is stretched out and her feathers are slightly puffed as her beak is open mid-song. The blackbird is perched on a rounded wooden fence rail. The background is softly blurred, with cattails in varying shades of green creating a natural backdrop.
