If you point your little pointy face up towards the rain and a raindrop hits you in the nog, then it's a glancing blow and not a knock out shot. #birds

In the last 24 hours, I've seen two #birds in my backyard that I've never seen there before. I've seen them other places, but not in my backyard. Yellow-Rumped Warbler and a Red-Breasted Sapsucker. Very fun!

Took the camera beyond the backyard for the first time in 6 months, as our post-surgery recoveries continue. We were pleased to spot a few very busy fall warblers gleaning insects in the trees (plus guest Downy). #birds @avesparatodos.bsky.social

"Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again." — Mary Oliver #FlyDay #ImageAndVerse #WildGeese #MaryOliver #BirdPhotography #Photography 🪶

A horizontal photograph capturing two Canada geese in synchronized flight across a pale, overcast autumn sky. The geese are positioned in the upper portion of the frame, angled upward and flying toward the right with wings outstretched, their distinctive dark necks and white cheek patches silhouetted against the clouds. Below, a calm, rippling body of water meets a low, narrow shoreline with subtle winter trees and dark coastal brush along the horizon. The composition balances quiet negative space with the natural momentum of migration, evoking themes of movement and seasonal return.

@helenbennett.bsky.social's choice for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestBeaks Celebrating any bird with a striking colours bill. Eurasian Curlew bills can be much longer than this one on the Norfolk coast last weekend. See alt text. #birds #birding #ECK #birdsSeenIn2026 #UKBirding

Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata) bills vary by age, sex and geography. Females from eastern populations can have bills much longer than this one, which may be a younger male.

thank you. I think it’s that my neighbors and I have trees and there’s no others around us anymore. The #Birds stop and then they hear the water. my neighbor has a really large pine tree. I think it’s 150 years old. Then when they get here, my yard is filled with native plants and water sources.

Helen has chosen #BestBeaks as #BirdOfTheDay theme; a bird with a beak/bill with striking colours, bold profiles or an interesting shape. Alt. is #YellowElements; the colour yellow found on a bird. A male Northern Shoveler with his big, beautiful, black bill/beak! (And yellow eye for a twofer!)

A Noble House. One of my absolute favorite pieces to date! I’m so in love with this little dove and his unconventional home. Really hoping to make prints so I can hold onto this design. #woodburning #woodburner #woodcraft #birds #birdart #medievalart #knightart

A woodburned plaque depicting a knights helmet. The front of the helmet is open revealing a dove that’s built a nest inside. The nest is made of twigs and brambles. Around both the nest and the helmet are sprigs of blackberry bushes, some of which are incorporated into the nest.
