My #BirdOfTheDay is definitely #LookingDown. Can’t really confirm the species via butt, but it’s probably a Mallard. #Birds

Barn Swallows framed by #BlueSkies. I’m always excited to see these #Birds sitting still for a portrait. #BirdOfTheDay

Mute Swans - like so many others in Brooklyn - will eagerly throw down for good real estate. This guy was loudly charging a rival in Prospect Park Lake, which typically hosts only one breeding pair. #WingsOpenNotFlying #BirdOfTheDay #Birds

My #BestBeaks submission for #BirdOfTheDay is this Great Blue Heron. Yes, that’s a tongue. #Birds

My #Airborne #Seabird for #BirdOfTheDay is a gull of uncertain species, photographed in the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge with the shutter too slow.

My #BirdOfTheDay for #Divers is an osprey who came up empty-taloned somewhere in British Columbia. #Birds

My #elegant bird for #birdoftheday is an unlikely one: a Common Grackle displaying its iridescence while bathing. #birds

A Northern Mockingbird takes flight with an Osmanthus berry. Juveniles can be hard to identify because of the heavily speckled breast, but the white underwing patches give it away. Greenport, NY. #birds
