The #BirdOfTheDay assignment is #BestOfTheMonth. I can never pick a best, so here's one I didn't have a chance to post previously. The white-breated nuthatches arrived earlier this month and have been quietly honking away in the background ever since.

Just in time for #Twosday, I caught Hoppy (on the right; dodgy right foot) and Not-Hoppy a couple of mornings ago hanging out on an old eucalyptus tree stump I put out in the yard. #raven #birds #wildlifephotography

I'm going with the alt theme of #Paridae for today's #BirdOfTheDay because I recently had my first sighting in the nine years we've lived in this house of a mountain chickadee, grabbing sunflower seeds from one of our feeders, and I managed to get some decent photos.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #AwkwardAvian and I took just such a shot of a young Cooper's hawk only last week.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Airborne. Perhaps this Eurasian collared dove was flying around in search of its missing feathers.

It's #SquirrelSaturday, so here's a California ground squirrel grabbing a quick bedtime snack in our backyard before the sun sets.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Pairs, two mourning doves showing off their blue eyeshadow.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borbs. Here's a floofed-up young Cooper's hawk on an early winter morning.

1222

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdStare. This raven was keeping an eye on me and making sure I didn't try to steal its day-old dead ground squirrel.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay? #Raptors. I caught this young Cooper's hawk launching off the tree in our front yard on Sunday.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Redheads, and here's the prettiest of them all.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #CaptionThatBird. I shot this red-tailed hawk in our front yard yesterday. It had a full crop and blood on its face, so some unfortunate animal had a bad day. "Nice hors-d'oeuvres. What's next?"

0201

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Scruffy, so here's a shabby little hummingbird with its feathers all awry.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ODG - any owl, duck or goose. Here's a young great horned owl.

0242

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdsWithBerries. It hurts my neck just to look at this mountain bluebird eating a berry.

0231

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

There was a desert cottontail in the backyard this morning when I got up. We have five or six living here at the moment. #rabbit #cottontail #wildlifephotography

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Hoppy (left) and Not-Hoppy are in the tree in our front yard every day when I get up. I took this at 6:40 this morning after I saw that today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Silhoutte.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Todays #BirdoftheDay theme is #AngryBirds. Here's a grumpy young red-tailed hawk at sunset.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Remembering the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with a shot I took while in NYC for a trade show in October, 1991. It was also the one and only time I visited the observation deck at the WTC.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mouthful. "O hai, I found a dead mows!"

2232

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Let's go with the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme today, #Black&White. A black phoebe.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Crazy over-exposed but I like the effect. For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #ABCD, a lazuli bunting.

2211

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Today's #BirdoftheDay alt theme is #BirdsInGreen, which is fortuitous, because I spent a few minutes shooting hummingbirds on our desert willow yesterday morning.

0111

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Borbs. Here's a mountain blueborb. Um, bluebirb. Oh, you know.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Yesterday, I was focused on a young Cooper's hawk, hoping to get a shot of it taking off. It started to move, I reacted, and - imagine my surprise! Another hawk had appeared. Not ideal framing, but at least they're in focus. #birds #hawk #coopershawk #birdphotography #wildlifephotography

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

For today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme, #BrightAccents, a ladder-backed woodpecker.

0220

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #RedHeads. The rising sun on the pine tree in our backyard creates some interesting backgrounds for the Anna's #hummingbirds currently passing through.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I have a couple of #bird photos in the new Call of the WIld virtual exhibition hosted by the San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center in L.A. #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #FlowerPower, so here's a Bullock's oriole ... with a bee.

0221

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

For today's #BirdoftheDay theme, #BirdsUpClose, an uncropped shot of a raven. It let me get pretty close.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Parenting, so here's a seemingly enormous young Allen's hummingbird begging for food.

2423

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Well, that's very nice of them. I have three photos in this online show. It's my 12th exhibition of the year, some in-gallery, some virtual, with 24 photos (2/3 of them wildlife) displayed, to date. It's been a fun year. #bird #rainbow #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography

One of the archetypal birds of both #Coastal&River, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, is the pelican. As a bonus, I can also tag it for #Flyday!

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NaturalSeeds, so here are a couple of Lawrence's goldfinches nomming on fiddleneck seeds.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

When I woke up this morning I could hear banging in the shed and thought a resident feral cat was stuck. Noooo! It was a great horned owl, who sat on the pergola to recover for a few minutes before returning to its roost in a neighbor's yard. Those feets! #bird #owl #nature

Moments before this young Cooper's hawk appeared more than a dozen doves scattered in all directions from their perches in the pine tree behind our house. #BirdoftheDay #RecentGardenBirds

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

This is fun. I've now lived exactly 2/3 of my life in the U.S.

010

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ThinPerches and the alt is #BuntingBirds. The perch is not that thin but, hey, it's a lazuli bunting!

0191

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #RainyDayBirds, so here's a raven shaking off the wet on one of the rare damp days here in the high desert (Christmas Eve 2025, to be precise).

0184

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

This is a female valley carpenter bee on our desert willow tree, yesterday. (The male is fuzzy and brown.) You can see the rising sun, a tiny orange dot, reflected on her back. #insect #bee #CarpenterBee #pollinators #nature

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AwesomeOwls, so here's another shot from two months ago of one of the two young great horned owls that hatched in a neighbor's tree.
