Art and Science MATTER
@myartboard
Artist and lover of science. I am a large scale chalk artist, bird watcher, and photographer. All of my pets are rescues; they rule my heart. Photos are my own.
#triplets is the theme for today’s #BirdOfTheDay three birds of the same species. Here are three cormorants surveying their pond, alternating between states of swimming and drying. #birds #birdwatching #eck
Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme is #OpenBeaks. Here is a Canada Goose in mid-chase, warning another Canada Goose to take a hike. #birds #eck
Mosquitoes and Sandhill Crane. Poor guy just can’t shake them. #birds #birdwatching #eck #michigan
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #WildMotion, Dynamic wildlife behaviour, freezing a second which is full of energy. Establishing the pecking order, laughing gulls being serious. #birds #birdphotography #eck
The #BirdIfTheDay theme today is #RedBeaks - I really had to look through my images to find something to share. Here is the walking away and over-the-shoulder shot of a Common Gallinule. Enjoy! #birds #photography #eck
The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #YourChoice - any bird capture. Eastern Bluebird mealtime discussion at my feeders. #birds #bluebirds #eck
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Podicipedidae, any of the species - grebes :) Here is a Pied-Billed Grebe, photo taken over the weekend. These guys are fairly small compared to their other grebe friends. Seems like they are only above water for a very short while! #birds #eck #photography
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Anatidae any of the Species will do. We had a rare visitor to our Lake Erie shores in northern Ohio. I made the 2+ hour drive in hopes to see them. Unsuccessful at first, then they came around the rocks! #birds #eck #nikon
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Funnies. I have been photographing the first bluebird nest of the year in my yard. Mom and Pop are working so hard to keep the little ones fed! This little guy is calling for more, ha! #birds #photography #eck
#Raptors is the chosen theme for #BirdOfTheDay, so here is a red-shouldered hawk coming in to steal a meal. #birds #photography #eck #birdsofprey
The Alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Black, birds that have mainly Black Plumage. This is a Bobolink. Lucky enough to have a small population of them in a metropark in Cincinnati. They sound like R2D2 when they sing! #birds #photography #eck
The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #RockSolid any bird captured, perched on or standing by rocks or on a rocky surface. I found a small flock of double-crested cormorants, these three were taking a breather from the rest. #birds #birding #eck
#BirdOfTheDay theme is #WellTimed any bird captured in an interesting moment. I take unsalted peanuts with me to the beach. These two couldn’t get enough! #birds #birdphotography #eck
Good morning! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Insectivores, any bird whose diet consists mainly of insects. Tree swallows are masters at nabbing insects mid-flight. Make every day better by watching birds! #birds #birdwatching #eck
The alt theme today is #WhatTheFlock for #BirdOfTheDay so here we have a very large flock of redheads, scaup, and golden eyes. It was FREEZING! #birds #birdwatching #eck
@robcrank68.bsky.social has said today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HeadShots, the alt is #gulls. This image is both! This herring gull warns others off the fish carcass he is about to enjoy. #birds #eck
Rob & Alan’s Tuesday #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections, any bird reflection. There was a small flock of Killdeer working the edge of the pond and this chap cast a beautiful reflection on the surface. Enjoy! #birds #eck
@robcrank68.bsky.social has said today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongNecks, birds with long necks. Watched HUGE flocks of Sandhill Cranes return to rest after feeding all morning. Arizona. #birds #birdphotography, #eck
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Woodland. I caught this red-bellied woodpecker as she emerged with a fecal sac from her nest. #birds #woodpeckers #eck
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdButt, birds showing off their rear end to the photographer. While in the Smoky Mountains this February, this band of toms were giving the ladies a show, hoping they’d be chosen as mates. #birds #birdphotography #eck
The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #weather a favourite shot in any weather we can see. This is a horned lark settling in for a nice long rest. My super zoom camera lets me remain far away as to not disturb my bird friends! #birds #eck
Good morning! @robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen #LargeBirdsInFlight (birds larger than ducks) for today’s #BirdOfTheDay. Red-Tailed Hawk rethinking this landing. #birds #birdphotography #eck
Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestOfTheMonth, your best bird capture/s of March. No need for Alt Theme today. GHO on a milk crate nest shows human help after her tree and nest blew over last year, only one of her babies survived. She likes it enough to return this year!
Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ruffledfeathers any bird with feathers out of place. I turned the car around and found a place to pull over to capture these two Turkey vultures waiting out the rain. #birds #birdphtography #eck
Good morning - today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AdulsWithChicks, and capture of an Adult with its young. Here is a raven with her chicks asking for more. Taken in the Saguaro National Park, Arizona. #birds #eck #saguaro
Hello, all -today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying; any bird with it's wings open but not in flight. Hmm…the infamous single-wing gull stretch comes to mind… #birds #eck
