And if we lived a little further north in, say, Sacramento, we'd have the same situation as Oregon! But we live in a desert hellscape, um, lovely area with lots of sun.

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.

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

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.

#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...

Thanks. The bird gets the crdit for the pose!

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.

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.

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.

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

They're big! This was just one of about 50 that took about 15 minutes to fly over our house. This photo is uncropped - they were low.

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?"

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

A feeder is just out of frame to the left, so it's like shooting fish in a barrel!

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 · 18/09/2026

Thanks! It was just as the sun came up over the horizon, so nice light.

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 · 12/09/2026

Is that a bit of onion argy-bhaji?

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

From the list of names on the 9/11 memorial: Shimmy D. Biegeleisen.

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.

0222

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.

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

Same here! Ours don't care if you walk right up to them. I was standing five, six feet away from the ones I just posted, following them as they moved from flower to flower.
