#Birds #Raptor Atlantic Birding @atlanticbirding.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #BlueSkies; any bird against a blue sky. I've chosen a somewhat scruffy Bald Eagle coming in for a landing.

An adult Eagle coming in for a landing in a leafless tree top. The bird has a chocolate brown body and wings, white head & tail, and yellow feet & beak. The background is a pale blue sky. The bird's wings are open and raised above its head.

From July 1st, in a little known area: this curious heron dropped by once and only once. I was able to get several captures.
It is standing on the exposed edge of a retention pond. It has stilted yellow legs and gives a good view of its beak. I blurred the background grasses and retention wall for today’s photograph.

Flamingos are not pink. They are born with grey feathers, which gradually turn pink in the wild because of a dye called canthaxanthin obtained from their diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae. This is a baby flamingo. Original post
