Today's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #EFG, birds beginning with any of those letters (1st name). #GreyPeacockPheasant 📸 Rafi's Capture @rafiscapture.bsky.social
A wonderful capture of a medium-sized bird sitting on a log. Wings are spread, and patterns of circular markings are revealed on the upper portion of the wings. It has a smallish yellow, black tipped beak, and its feet are a beautiful robin egg blue. 🪺

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.
