You can see an ibis standing on a reed bed with its wings spread open wide. It has a long, curved beak and dark plumage with shimmering shades of green and red.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, the Alt theme is #Black&White

You can see two flamingos searching for food in the shallow water. The one in front is white and black with dark legs and beak, the second is white and pink with pink legs. It has its pink beak in the water. In the background, you can see the neck of a third flamingo.

This photo by Micha Loibl shows a bright red bird perched on a slender plant stem among broad green leaves, with dark wings and a pale gray beak, in soft natural light. The red fody (Foudia madagascariensis), also known as the Madagascar fody in Madagascar, red cardinal fody in Mauritius, or common fody, is a small bird native to Madagascar and introduced to various other islands in the Indian Ocean.

Morning. The Pennine Moors on Sunday morning, I love the remoteness & the everlasting landscape that a good moor walk brings. Some may say it has nothing to catch the eye, I say it has everything to catch the soul πŸ’œ xx

The photograph shows a wide Montana sunrise sky dominating nearly the entire scene, with the land below appearing as a dark silhouette.

Along the bottom edge of the image, a low ridgeline of hills or mountains runs from left to right. The hills are completely black in shadow because the sun has not yet risen high enough to illuminate them. Several pine trees stand along the ridgeline, their needle clusters and irregular branches clearly outlined against the bright sky.

Above the ridge, the sky is filled with dramatic color and layered clouds. Near the horizon the light is a soft golden yellow, transitioning upward into bright orange and salmon-pink clouds that appear thin and feathered, as if brushed across the sky. Higher still, the colors shift into lavender and deep blue, suggesting the lingering night sky above the rising daylight.

A long, thin airplane contrail cuts diagonally across the scene from the upper left portion of the sky toward the lower right. The contrail glows faintly orange where it catches the sunrise light, making it stand out against the surrounding clouds.

The clouds themselves radiate outward in streaks and patches, giving the sky a fan-like or starburst pattern, with warm orange light spreading through the middle of the frame and cooler blues framing the edges.

Overall, the scene conveys the quiet moment just before or immediately after sunrise, when the land remains dark but the sky is already glowing with color. The silhouetted pines and hills create a calm foreground while the sky above feels expansive and luminous.

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.
