Love this.
Thank you, Laura!
Flying toward us with white wings extended overhead is a back-lit egret. We see water droplets falling from the dangling legs and feet as s/he flies along a rope and buoys in the blue lagoon.
This is a snowy egret from last week. S/he takes off in the morning sun for another perch along the buoy line. #Birds #Nature #Photography #WestCoastKin
They both have such beautiful hunchbacks. Love the background by the way! ๐

One more (deadlines, dang it) because who can resist an ab fab Feralia februalis Sallow Moth?

Around the still lake the hills on the opposite side are overlooking and reflected between the large evergreen trees. There is a lone gentleman with an unseen fishing rod in hand enjoying front row seats.
Itโs good to never take the easy days for granted ๐ท๐๏ธ โฆ
Looks mythical, and magical, Marg!! You have such an incredible eye for this. ๐
Hฤna Bay at sunrise through trees and across a pond of sea water with lava rocks. The back drop is orange sunrise sky. A person walks across a strip of land between the pond and the sea.

Mary, it looks like you're enjoying your stay!! Beautiful sunrise, and framing. ๐๐งก
A blue and black scrub jay crouches along the ground. We see the bird in profile next to the trunk of a tree. S/he is standing in mulch. Green grass behind provides a nice color combo with the blue back of this bird. The underside is white including clam diggers. Then black legs extend into the mulch.
Good morning. Todayโs #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Corvidae any bird of the Corvid family. This is a California scrub jay from earlier this year. #Birds #Nature #Photography

Wow, Jules--looks like an Easter basket. Gorgeous. Have a great Tuesday!! ๐ซถ๐
A small white Long-tailed Tit perched among bare branches. The bird faces slightly left, showing a faint dark brow line above the eye. Its long tail extends behind it against a softly blurred background. ่ใฎใชใๆใซใจใพใ็ฝใใทใใจใใฌใใใๅทฆๅใใงใจใพใใ็ฎใฎไธใซ่ใ็็ถใฎๆ่ฒใฎใฉใคใณใ่ฆใใใ้ทใๅฐพใๅพๆนใธไผธใณใ่ๆฏใฏใผใใฆใใใ
The snow-white look is what makes the Long-tailed Tit of Hokkaido so popular.
But some locals get especially excited when they spot one with a faint brow lineโฆ Iโm definitely one of them ๐

The theme for today's #BirdoftheDay set by Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social is #SideProfiles. The alt theme is #Robins. So here is a Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) taken in woods around Heriot-Watt University Campus, Riccarton, Edinburgh.
A Common Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) taken at Bavelaw Marsh, Balerno, west of Edinburgh.
Common Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) taken at Bavelaw Marsh, Balerno west of Edinburgh.
A heavily cropped shot of a Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) perched on the head of a resting White-tailed deer. Both male and female Red-winged Blackbirds patrol their nest territory perching on any vantage point and loudly declaring their ownership. This deer's head was just perfect for the task. Taken at the Cranberry Bog Conservation Land, Carlisle, Massachusetts.

A day at the wetlands near sunset. A large tree is on the right among grasses. Water runs between the tree and mountains.

The stunning remains of this wreck sit on a pebbled beach with a backdrop of rainforests. We're looking past the remnants of the bow, through driving rain into the Hecate Strait, the notoriously rough waters that drove the 264-foot log barge aground during a winter storm in 1928. On this day we were to take a day long zodiac ride to SGang Gwaay UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Site: Cancelled due to rough seas. It makes me wonder why I thought this trail was a good idea. I guess I wanted to test my raingear. We came back on the following day to hike in the sunshine, which felt like it was a completely different place. The Pesuta Shipwreck Trail is one of the most popular hiking trails on Haida Gwaii.
Beached!

Sorry to hear that! Hereโs to a quick recovery. ๐
Yes. It was taken at Prescott Preserve in Palm Springs.
Hi, Helen! Nice to see you. Appreciate the compliment!! ๐๐๐
They are uncommon around me for sure! Iโm just very happy I got the shot, too. ๐๐ฉถ
Thank you!! Heโs definitely NOT impressedโฆ. ๐
I took me years to finally see one. And the lighting and background were great for a split second. ๐
@lorichirp.bsky.social @photographyguy28.bsky.social Thank you both for the repost! I always appreciate them! ๐๐๐
Yes. We need a West coast version. ๐
