🪶 Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Triplets, 3 of the same birds, says Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social. Here are three silver-throated tanagers with a couple of orioles for bodyguards. #birds #photography #costarica

A bare branch with some moss growing on it holds five birds. In the center are three yellow birds with white throats and green/black bars on wings. On either end of the three are orioles, the nearer one having yellow, gray, black and white on the wings, while the farther one is more orange and has a black head.

🪶 Alan @alan678.bsky.social says the #BirdofTheDay theme is #ScreenFiller, a capture where the bird takes up a large part of the image. This white-necked Jacobin fills up a good bit of screen, despite its small size. #birds #photography #costarica #smallbirdsaturday

A hummingbird in flight. Its wings are caught stretched forward. Its blue head is raised high. It has a white belly and bluish-green back feathering.

🪶 And I'm back... Very busy week, now slowing down. I've given up on catching up for the week but will try to see what I can - I've missed it. For Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Corvidae, a black-billed magpie from near Taos, New Mexico. #FeatheredFriday #birds #photography

🪶 Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ButtShotts. Baltimore oriole from spring. #birds #photography I won't be posting much, if at all, this week, but I'll try to check in as I can.

A yellow bird is on a branch in a mulberry tree, with green leaves and ripe berries all around. It has its back to us, and turned slightly to our right.

🪶 Since my repost of an older shot yesterday was well-received, and I have posted an original today, I'm going to dig into the archives for my favorite #FunnyFaces for Alan's @alan678.bsky.social alt #BirdOfTheDay theme. A cold pine warbler wants to speak to the manager. #birds #photography

A small yellow bird is on the top of the curve of a black metal shepherd's hook feeder holder. It is directly facing the camera, with its feathers fluffed up for the cold, its lower feathers extending out almost like a wide skirt, with white at the ends. Its head is pointing slightly down, and its look seems very angry.

jon5cents@jon5cents· Jul 11

🪶 The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #UpAndDown birds looking up or down, says Alan @alan678.bsky.social. This Carolina wren heard about a search for the Epstein files and was doing its part. #birds #photography

A wren is on a horizontal thick wire, its head below wire level, looking intensely down and to our left.

🪶 I try (a little) to avoid reposting shots, but occasionally... Rob says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BathTime, and my favorite #birds bathing pictures ever are of this rufous-tailed hummingbird bathing on a water-filled leaf. I may look for something original later. #photography #costarica

A hummingbird on a large tropical leaf, covered in raindrops. Its eyes are closed as if sleeping, though it was a lucky shot while it was blinking. It is green with dark wings.

🪶Alan @alan678.bsky.social says the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Lifer captures of the last new to you bird you’ve seen. The Alt is #BirdsILove. It's been a while since I've seen a lifer, but it may have been this snowcap hummingbird, a new shot of a previously posted bird. #birds #photography #costarica

A hummingbird on a horizontal stem. The body is mostly a burgundy color, with a bright white patch on the forehead. It has a short (for a hummingbird), sharp, straight beak. It is facing slightly to our left. Behind it is a stem with a couple of small purple flowers.

A bird with an orange body and black head is on a vertically circular feeder with one foot on a small glass part containing grape jelly. The other side of the feeder has two orange halves. The bird is staring directly at the camera.

Old storefront in Batesville, #arkansas for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbandoned #photography

A brick storefront with boarded up windows. There is a door in the center with windows on both sides, all with arches containing a central keystone. The door has been fitted with a glass storm door. Little glass remains in the windows, and what is there is broken. Faded out lettering above the door and windows advertises Coca-Cola.

🕷️ It's #MacroMonday again, so I happen to have another #spider to post (but not a jumper). This is a star-bellied orbweaver (Acanthepeira stellata), which has a nice personality (spiderality?) despite its prickly appearance. #spiders #photography #macro

A spider on a nondescript white background. It has an odd, spiny circular abdomen, whitish and orange with a white stripe leading to its head, which is dark with light hair. Its legs are mostly orange, with some white bands on the ends.

📷 For #BlueSkyArtShow #wide, a panorama of a foggy morning in San Miguel de Allende, #Mexico. The image I'm seeing is cropped; you may need to open it for a good view. #photography

A panorama of a Mexican city from a higher vantage point. Several church towers and spires are visible on all sides. Some green trees are in the left foreground. The background has the city rising on a far hill into clouds, making the higher elevations foggy.

🪶Alan @alan678.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is: #peekaboo, birds peeking from behind anything. This near-miss was the closest I got to a bay-headed tanager, so thought it would be a good opportunity to post this beautiful bird. #birds #photography #costarica

jon5cents@jon5cents· Jul 2

It was! No pictures of the attack, but it would hit the window and go back to the top of a mulberry tree outside where I did manage a few pictures. Then my wife put stuff on the window to discourage it 😒

A bird with a yellow belly, light grey throat and dark wings is perched on a small branch with large green leaves.

🪶 Another contribution for Alan's @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme of #QuietReflection, this time a tufted flycatcher deciphering life's mysteries. And looking for flies. #birds #photography #costarica

🌅 Post a #sunset... Let's Travel the World. Jamaica, Bermuda... How about Portugal? Porto at nightfall. #photography #nature

From a higher perspective, we look down on a river with an old city on the other side. It is sunset, and many lights have come on, some reflected in the water. In the distance, on the left, the river turns to the right, and we see some city lights on the left bank.

🪶 Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social says today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #RedBeakFeetEyes, any bird with a Red beak, Feet or Eyes Not Feathers. I've posted several of this bird before, but maybe not this shot 🤞. Red-legged honeycreeper. #birds #photography #costarica

🪶 For #Twosday, an example of sexual dimorphism. These are, respectively, the female and the male white-lined tanager. It may be hard to see here, but the black male has a touch of white on the leading edge of the wing. #birds #photography #costarica

A black bird facing us, head turned towards our left, is on the other side of a partially eaten banana that has been placed on a board for feeding.

🕷️ For #MacroMonday, a #spider, but not a jumping spider. Close view of a green lynx spider defending its leaf. #spiders #macro #photography

A light green spider faces the camera on a green leaf. It has very light legs, almost white, with black polka dots and spikes. On the top of its head is a light brown patch, in which two pairs of eyes are staring at us.

🪶For Jane’s @javajanegallery.co.uk #SmallBirdSaturday, a funny-named bananaquit. It may not be apparent from the picture, but they are very small. My first glimpse was of one among hummingbirds, and I thought it was another one, just slightly larger. #birds #photography #costarica
