A close-up photo of a rose, facing the camera, looking slightly up. The rose has mostly bright yellow petals, with reddish pink edges. The background is mostly olive green serrated leaves.

Per Rob Crank: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Iridescence, any bird whose colour changes with light on them. The Alt theme is #Black&White bird whose main plumage is Black & White. #birds #ECK #photography The iridescence of a male Mallard's head feathers can look blue/purple instead of green!

Way late for today’s #BirdOfTheDay, but I hope this still fits the Atlantic Birding theme of #Contrast, light birds against dark backgrounds, or vice versa. Sharing #GreatEgrets at sunset. #birds #ECK
Great Egrets fly low over an inlet at sunset, their white bodies and wings standing out against a glowing orange sky and water. The sun is near the horizon, casting a bright golden reflection across the still surface. Dark silhouettes of shoreline grasses and trees frame the scene on both sides.

This is my new account, would love a follow here!! Highspeed capture a hummingbird in mid-flight. High shutter speed freezes the fanned iridescent blue tail and green plumage, perfectly isolated against a soft, creamy background bokeh. #luiscordobapharchive #birds #hummingbird #birdoftheday #eck
Horizontal orientation high-speed wildlife photograph titled "Swallow-tailed Hummingbird in Flight". The image features a vibrant blue and green hummingbird suspended in mid-air with its wings spread vertically and its fan-shaped blue tail fully expanded. Crisp sharpness details the metallic sheen of the plumage and individual tail feathers. The background consists of a smooth, out-of-focus soft green bokeh that isolates the bird in motion. Optimized for hummingbird in flight, high speed bird photography, iridescent plumage, swallow-tailed hummingbird, wildlife macro action, and bird bokeh background indexing

I was taking a walk on a lakeside walking path when I saw a commotion out on the lake. A flock of double-crested cormorants had settled into the water. The seagulls were trying to grab a free lunch as the cormorants were hunting for fish. #TheBirdOfTheDay alt theme #BirdsOfAFeather

A male American Goldfinch, a bright yellow bird with black wings, tail, and cap, perches on top of a stalk of mullein, which is covered with little yellow flowers. Its beak is open, and it appears to be having a conversation with an approaching bee.

American Dipper 15cm Check out how hydrophobic its feathers are when it resurfaces with barely a drop of water on it! American Dippers have feathered white eyelids, which you can see when the bird blinks throughout this video. This helps keep them as warm as possible when hunting in frigid waters.
