The wildflowers are few and far between lately as we get further in to autumn. These were the only two I found on my most recent walk. #photography

A color photograph of white wildflowers with yellow centers that take up the center and right of the frame. One particular flower (to the right of center) is in sharp focus, while the others are softly blurred. Some of the yellow centers are missing their petals while others have just a few petals stubbornly clinging on as they reach the end of their lives. The left side of the frame has very few flowers and is mostly a blurred green with golden shoots of dying reeds.

Autumn is here and the Swans are kicking their teens out of the nest. I snapped this juvenile swan frantically running away from dad through a tangle of trees and reeds. The little one got away for the moment, but it won't be long before he leaves permanently. 🍂🍁🍂 #BestOfTheMonth #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

In a tangle of narrow vertical brown tree trunks and green reeds, a juvenile swan stretches his wings as he flees from his father who is chasing him out of the area. The swan's plumage is a mix of white and grey/tan patches as he transitions from cygnet to adult. He is facing away from the camera, his head slightly turned to the right and dark beak pointed down. His wings are stretched out but bent downward at the elbow joint, and the right wing is more obscured by tree trunks than the left wing. His only hope is that his father cannot follow through the denser brush to continue chasing after him.

A Lincoln's sparrow is perched on a branch, with blurred branches int eh background. The bird is passing through on its migration journey and was a lucky find as they are known to skulk low in dense brush and thickets. It is notable for its buffy chest band with sharp black streaks and a chestnut-colored crown with black streaks.

The bird is positioned on the right side of the frame, facing right, showcasing its distinct gray-blue breast, scaled belly patterns, and dark face outlined in white. A prominent, curved black topknot plume extends forward from the crown of its head. The quail is nestled among deep burgundy leaves and thin, bare branches that sweep across the foreground.

Helen Bennett’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background. This would be a Coal Tit then. I think so anyway.

A close-up, front-facing photograph of a small coal tit perched atop a dark brown wooden post. The bird has a rounded body with slightly fluffy feathers. Its head features a black cap, a small black beak pointing slightly to the right, and distinct white cheek patches that contrast with a black bib around its throat. Its chest and underparts are a mixture of soft white, grey, and light buff feathers.
The bird stands upright on thin, dark feet resting on the flat top of the post, which shows signs of weathering with light grey lichen spots and subtle wood grain texture. The background is entirely softly blurred in shades of vibrant lime green and yellowish-green foliage, creating a smooth bokeh effect that emphasizes the subject. Light catches the edges of the bird's feathers, giving its silhouette a gentle glow against the lush background.

Brilliant red male northern cardinal bird up close in light and shadow that are at a diagonal across it’s chest. The blur in the background gives a nice bokeh, mostly because of the way the shadow follows the same line, bringing balance while also enhancing the intensity and starkness of this bright red tufted bird.

A małe Downy Woodpecker high up in a tree with pale brown branches, and somehow hanging on the end of a tiny branch where he had been poking around looking for bugs. The bird had a black and white striped head with a red patch on the back, a white front, and dark brown/black spotted back and wings with a large white patch on the middle of the back. I shot this photo in Aperture mode, which created a blurred background of green leaves and blue sky that appear as out-of-focus points of light known as bokeh balls. Seen at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, Massachusetts.

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme #AwkwardAvian, birds in a silly, clumsy or strange position, I offer 2 Egyptian Geese (Alopochen aegyptiaca) that we saw in South Africa interacting with each other. The tune that came to us was “Walk like an Egyptian.”

Photo of 2 large birds extending their necks out towards each other. The birds have mostly white heads with dark brown eye spots, beaks that are dark on the bottom and white on the top, long mottled brown & gray necks with a dark brown ring at the base of their necks. They have grayish bodies and bellies, dark brown wings with bright white streaks at the bottom edgs of the wings, dark brown & black rumps & tails, and reddish webbed feet.
They are walking on a rough green lawn in the shade, with a sunny lawn at the top of the photo.

Unique snail-eating raptor. Widespread and fairly common in Central and South America, but very limited range in U.S. Found exclusively around lakes and marshes with plenty of vegetation. Adult male is entirely dark gray with red eyes, orange feet and base of bill, briefly turning red in breeding season. Females and immatures are streaky brown. Note very sharply hooked bill, long broad wings, and short dark tail with a white base above and below. Look for pairs or small groups flying over marshes with slow, buoyant wingbeats. Frequently perches on bushes.

We see a female kestrel perched on the top of a wooden stake. The yellow talons are seen gripping the top, squared off edge of the tan wood. The birds chest is facing the viewer and is buffy colored with blurry vertical brown striping. The head is turned to the side--revealing a gray cap and three vertical black bands on her cheek. We see the gray, hooked beak which looks like it was dipped in black ink. The underside of the tail is horizontal brown banding on a buffy base. The background of the photo is blurred out greens and tans of the surrounding field.

Black-and-white Warbler (Mniotilta varia) for the #BirdoftheDay theme #BokehBirds. #birds #Florida #Backyard

A small Black-and-white Warbler is perched upright, facing forward, head turned to left, on an arched horizontal branch, framed by large in-and-out of focus green leaves. The little bird is white in the center of his neck, breast, and belly, has a white eyebrow stripe, and heavy black-and-white striping everywhere else visible. The background is a brilliant, abstract, out-of-focus design of mostly bright yellow, accented with bright yellow-greens, so the neutrally colored bird stands out.

A hint of soft pink coloration tints its flanks and shoulders. Its bill is tiny and dark, and its eye is framed by a faint yellowish ring. The bird is nestled among several bare, light grey tree branches that cut diagonally across the scene the one above slightly shadowing its head. Two prominent branches cross behind and below the bird, while a softer, out-of-focus branch arches over the top left corner of the frame.

A Short-eared Owl glides over a snow-covered prairie before sunrise. The owl is in the upper left third of the photo, flying to the right. It's wings are stretched out and upwards. The owl's belly is creamy white with dark brown streaking. Around its head and upper breast, the dark brown is more heavily streaked. The bird's face is white around the beak and light brown elsewhere. The eyes are circled in black, making its bright yellow eyes stand out. The wings are dark brown with white checkering.

The owl is flying above a shortgrass prairie. The ground is covered in snow. Medium height gold and red grasses pierce through the snow in clumps. The grasses are illuminated by a warm golden glow in the pre-sunrise light.
