F is for Flamingo 🦩 #BirdOfTheDay #EFG 📷🌿🪶

A photo of a flock of greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) standing in shallow water. Their plumage is pale pinkish-white with red-pink patches on the wing coverts, and they have pink bills with black tips, long pink legs, and very long necks. Several are preening, with ruffled feathers and heads tucked or turned back, and one bird lifts a leg mid-step. A couple have yellow bands on their legs. Their reflections ripple in the water, and the background is green and orange marsh vegetation.

Just like the finch forecast predicted, Blue Jays are moving through in bigger numbers than usual. I hear groups of them squawking all over the place now. #birds #birdphotography #photography #nature #wildlife #birding #BirdOfTheDay #TRAHR

Metallic starlings migrate down from New Guinea each year to breed in the tropical north of Australia, bringing their brilliant iridescent feathers to the local rainforest canopy. 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ 📸 In my cousin's backyard. (I'll be back in another week or so) #birds #BirdOfTheDay #nature #wildlife

Photograph of three metallic starlings perched amongst lush green foliage and vines, their iridescent dark bodies gleaming with hints of green and purple and contrasting with their striking, piercing red eyes, with two of the birds having their beaks open mid-call as they chatter noisily with one another.

Black turnstone taking off. #BirdOfTheDay #Seabirds #Airborne 📷🌿🪶

A photo of a black turnstone (Arenaria melanocephala) taking flight from a mussel-covered rock as surf rushes toward it, its wings spread, and water splashing beneath its yellow-orange legs and dripping from its talons. It's a small wading bird with a black-and-white barred pattern on its underwings, a dark brown mottled head and breast, and a bright white belly. Foamy surf churns in the background, with additional barnacle- and mussel-encrusted rocks framing the scene on a sunny afternoon.

Also, scientists used double clutching to expand the gene pool of underrepresented lineages. The first egg of a "genetically valuable" pair was removed (put in incubator), so the pair laid a 2nd or even 3rd egg. Good article on their high genetic diversity: wildlife.org/recovering-w.... #birds

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borbs, birds looking plump so here's a rather round Northern Pygmy Owl. The second photo shows just how skinny it can look when it sucks it all in. Same bird, same perch, a few seconds later. #birds #owls

We've been busy with houseguests and preparing for a trip, so I really do appreciate when cool birds show up right outside the door. 📷🌿🪶

A photo of a juvenile Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) perched on the rim of a metal water dish, gripping the edge with bright yellow talons. Its wet plumage is fluffed and disheveled, with its banded tail trailing down and its yellow eye fixed alertly to the right side of the frame.

A photo of a juvenile Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) facing the camera head-on, its wet feathers giving it a spiky, disheveled look. It's a medium-sized raptor with pale yellow eyes and a yellow cere framing a dark hooked beak, along with streaked brown and white chest feathers and a mottled dark brown back.

I like big borbs and I cannot lie (I posted a really similar shot of this bird a few days ago, but it's still such a silly big brown borb!) #BirdOfTheDay #Borbs #Brown 📷🌿🪶

A photo of a juvenile Cooper's hawk (Astur cooperii) perched on the flat top of a cut off tree stump, its wings held partially out, tail up, and feathers floofed out while it gazes upward with its beak slightly open. It's a medium-sized hawk with a dark brown upper body, streaky brown and tan breast & belly, striped tail, smalled hooked beak, and pale irises. A rat's tail is just visible hanging over the edge of the stump behind the hawk. The background is a blurred shady forest setting.
