The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Pigeons&Doves, so here's that time a white-winged dove paid us a visit.

It's #SmallBirdSaturday and this mountain #chickadee, with a sunflower seed between its feet, was wondering why I was sneaking up on it this morning.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Green, which gives me an excuse to post this shot of an Anna's hummingbird from last week.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme, #GardenBirds, has different meanings for different environments. Here's a scene from our front "garden" (we have a handful of trees and no grass) from late yesterday afternoon. Hoppy the raven is on the left, Not-Hoppy on the right.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is a twofer. For #crooners, a mockingbird singing early this morning, and for the alt theme, a mountain chickadee #eating early yesterday morning.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #perched, birds standing on anything except branches. A young Cooper's hawk on our ancient chain link fence.

Hey, it's #twosday! Which is good timing, because a brace of California quails hung out yesterday afternoon right outside my home office window. I didn't need to leave my seat to take a photo.

Here's a black phoebe doing its flycatcher thing for today's #BirdOfTheDay challenge to post a bird against #BlueSkies, something that's possible for about 280 days a year here in the high Mojave desert.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying. I don't remember if this black phoebe was about to take off or was just stretching.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I almost always forget about #SmallBirdSaturday. Here's one of our resident verdins.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Black&Red, a red-naped sapsucker.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

#Black&White is today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, so here's a mountain chickadee pulling a seed from a pinecone. By coincidence, I also have a couple of photos in Black & White 2026, a virtual exhibition that launched today: www.hummingbirddragonflyartgallery.com/featured-exh...

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.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

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

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

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.

0171

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

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

0171

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.

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

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

0132

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.

1231

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.

Steve Harvey @lightdrawing.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

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.

1172

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.
