So @alan678.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay is the #LastBird on your camera. The last photo I took this afternoon is this little Ruby-Throated Hummingbird who is really possessive of this tiny branch 🪶

Gallinule family and Uncle Muskrat out enjoying the sun this morning 🪶

Tall green grasses with shallow water in front. In the water are an adult Common Gallinule (blackish water bird with white in its tail and a red and yellow bill that looks like candy corn), two juvenile Gallinules who are grayish and have plain orange bills). There is a large, brown, wet Muskrat plunked down just in front of the Gallinules

@alan678.bsky.social has called the theme of #ScreenFiller for today's #BirdOfTheDay. I suspect this Cobra Chicken fits the bill (for the theme; I realise the picture doesn't actually fit his bill 😆)

Yay! Rock Day! I've got my rocks: one from the south shore of Loch Ness, the best mineral galena, one from Cerro de la Muerte in Costa Rica where we saw the Volcano Junco, and one from the uneven, exposed ancient sea floor that took out my knee at my favourite local birding patch

Small collection of rocks sitting on the floor, some feldspar, sparkly quartz-bearing rocks and galena, as well as a big, dense, iron-bearing rock

Blueberry pancakes at the naughty step? Wild blueberries, I hope? I'd better share here for @alan678.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay, my special friend giving their #BestSideEye I'll grab the maple syrup on my way

Peregrine falcon perched on a small gable atop a church spire, with bright blue sky beyond. She is looking over their shoulder and down, giving the side-eye to some people below

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, #UpAndDown, this Yellow Throated Toucan is looking down here for @robcrank68.bsky.social . Oh! There's a snack!

A back toucan with a white rump, yellow throat, and colourful bill swings upside down from a branch, biting into a round fruit

Pie chart titled Things I See. The whole chart is a single shade of blue. The legend below indicates that the blue portion is "what you did there"

Oh shoot. My hard drive with most of my bird pics (and my digital music collection) pooched, so not much to choose from. I'll go with a recent one on my phone Friday Night #DuckOff 🪶

Splendid Long-Tailed Ducks. The GREATEST ducks, with gorgeous white, gray, and chocolate colouring, the boys with their magnificent long tail feathers, the girls with adorable smudgy patterns. Impressive deep divers, they are supremely elegant with the cutest goofy calls (you can't help but get heart-eyes when you hear them). Inclusive duck friends, there are 3 males seen here, and one female to the right, happily hanging out with their friend, The King (eider)

@robcrank68.bsky.social has set today's #BurdOfTheDay as #Raptors. Really though, #EveryDayIsRaptorDay. Here's my handsome friend

#PhotoFailFriday, the best day of the week! The majestic King Eider 🪶

Mostly water. On the right, there is a fan of black tail feathers disappearing into the water with a ripple of water around them

Oh noes!! Just in time for World Migratory Bird Day tomorrow! 🙈 🪶

Always such a treat to see an owl 🦉 😍

Small reddish-brown and white screech owl in a large tree cavity. It's looking toward the camera with its right eye squinted closed and left one open, looking quite judgemental

Patiently waiting for the new Sandhill Cranes 🪶

Large, grey crane with a red "mask" and rusty brown on its back sitting on a big nest in a wetland. The bird's head is tipped, bill pointing down, and its eyes are closed

Beautiful day at the Great Blue Heron Factory. 6 production lines running smoothly with their attentive operators 🪶 #Rookery

View through thin dead and/or leafless trees with 5 large bird nests visible high in the trees in the middle distance

I've seen this Rock Pigeon a number of times outside the hospital. I just think it's gorgeous 🪶

Alan says the #BirdOfTheDay is #Perches&Petals. So here's my best shot of a Tennessee Warbler, taken last year

Goose would like a word

Extremely close-up, head-on shot of a Canada Goose

Shorelines are good spots to keep an eye on. Here are a couple of babies who tumbled out of the undergrowth, playing before realising I was there (this was next to the river, where I'd seen adult minks before)

Two small, dark brown weasels on a rocky dirt path. The further one is angled away from the camera, and the closer one is turning toward the photographer's feet

@robcrank68.bsky.social has declared today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdButt. Bird friends, we've got this 🪶

Rear end of a yellow-thighed brushfinch. The small gray bird is upside down, showing its undercarriage as it readies to launch downward off a branch. The bird's rear end is pointed up, giving a nice view of the bright yellow poofs to the tops of its legs like little legwarmers

Lifer alert! 🚨 @bethd.bsky.social and I got a King Eider for our birthday! 🪶

@alan678.bsky.social has set today's #BirdOfTheDay as #GreyDay. Here's a beautiful Gray Hawk I saw this week

For Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Portrait, I have this lovely pair of Turkey Vultures from the archives 🪶

A pair of large, pink-headed, brown birds, sitting together on a chimney and looking toward the camera. They are sitting on different levels, with the back bird poised higher than the one in front

For @robcrank68.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay today, I have this Tufted Titmouse with its #StareDown 🪶
