Today’s #BirdoftheDay is #BirdsinTheirElement. I found this juvenile Seahawk (osprey) looking like he had just gone four+ quarters with a New England team, but he’s still the ruler of the Pacific. #NikonPhotographers #photographersUnited #Birds

Close up shot from behind of two Canada Geese chasing each other in the water. The emphasis of the photo is the splashing water and droplets in the air.

I should have posted these Canada Geese for yesterday's #BirdsInTheirElement theme for #BirdOfTheDay, or the previous day's #WaterDroplets theme, but perhaps I can sneak them into #MallardMonday

Just under the wire for today's #BirdOfTheDay, here are some #BirdsInTheirElement on a very rainy and cold day today. A hermit thrush, downy woodpecker and tufted titmouse awaiting a turn at the feeders.

I was going through some older images in my archive and was already looking at this image of an American Kestrel here in the southeast Arizona desert. I think it fits the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdsInTheirElement

I usually don't post videos here since the compression reduces quality, but I thought the high-speed chase of these sandpipers was worth sharing. Check out the speed in those tiny legs! :-)

Geting down to their level, a group of Sanderling on the brow of a mud bank, waves coming in behind them.  Reflections in the wet sand.

A hummingbird sits on a small nest on little branches among leaves. The bird has a buff throat, a black stripe with a white stripe above it behind the eye, and green on top.

🪶 Not the best picture, but this purple-throated mountain gem hummingbird fits the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdsInTheirElement. Sitting on its nest with pretty good cover in the Turrialba area of #CostaRica. #birds #photography

A large bird of prey with dark brown feathering and almost white undersides of its wide spread wings is about to land in a field of golden reeds, with a long-legged black chick held in its outstretched, thin, yellow legs.

Today's main theme for #BirdOfTheDay by @alan678.bsky.social is #BirdsInTheirElement, and I think it's s good fit for this marsh harrier carrying its prey, a moorhen chick, to its hidden home in the reeds.
(That species' German name is "Rohrweihe", with "Rohr" meaning "reed")
