We are working on a new project, branching out and working with others. There’s a lot of planning and admin to do first and recent events have been conspiring against us, eating into that planning time. But we’ll get there. It will be worth it.

I am excited to start this journey. Hope the hype is warranted 🤞

Do note these rendy claws of the  ... Great ... 

This great horned owl demonstrates a masterful interpretation of "perching." It is not merely sitting on a branch; it is fully committing its entire being to the act of balancing, showcasing a dedication to stability that is both admirable and slightly absurd.

The intricate layering of the feathers, particularly on the back, suggests a sophisticated aerodynamic strategy. The golden hues imply a premium, possibly designer, plumage designed for maximum stealth and minimal wind resistance, even when presenting a rear profile.

The visible talons are perfectly positioned, a testament to evolutionary efficiency. They serve as a stark reminder that even in a moment of seemingly deep thought (or perhaps just a mid-afternoon nap), the capacity for swift, decisive action remains.

The composition as a whole speaks to the inherent comedy of nature: a creature of silent wisdom caught in a less-than-majestic, yet perfectly natural, pose.

This stretching routine is claw-ful.

Does a snag count for #BranchingOut? Asking for one of my little gull buddies.

May you day be full of peace. ✌

A bit late for #branchingout #BirdOfTheDay but came across this rather branchy European Blackcap whilst doing some photo housekeeping today. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #nature #blackcap

The really late #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #branchingout birds on branches

A photo of Swallow-tailed Bee-eaters, Erongo, Namibia last August seems to fit the bill

A little late.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #branchingout birds on branches, the alternative is #waders wading birds.

About 5 cormorants settling into a tree, preening and getting comfortable for a good night's sleep.

Sadly missed a few days being busy, but caught the tail end of this #BirdOfTheDay #BranchingOut with a bunch of cormorants getting ready for bedtime. (the asphalt underneath was so white it was gleaming and the bushes looked covered with "snow"--i.e. cormorant 💩)

Hi Patrick. This is a perfect picture. Who knew that hummingbirds had such grand tails. They are the turkeys of tiny birds and I mean that in the best possible way.

Everything about this picture makes me smile. Thank you and Happy New Year!

A right-side view of a male House finch puffed-up and perched on a branch with thorns. He has a white-ish belly with brown stripes, dark wing, and an orange lower back/crown/throat. There are also green leaves, brown branches, and a blue sky.

It’s been a while, but I have a shot I’m proud of to share for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme - #BranchingOut. This male house finch posed nicely for me.

I think for the #BirdOfTheDay #BranchingOut theme we are going to go with this scissor-tailed flycatcher.

A cormorant sitting on a tree branch by a lake. In the background on the other side of the lake are some high rise apartment buildings. The photo quality isn't great, due to having been taken at a distance with a phone.

I just found this photo from November in my photo library, suitable for #BirdOfTheDay #BranchingOut

Many people around here hate cormorants, but I think they're kind of cool.

🪶 Just got back from a few days away and a long day's driving, so as I rest for a bit, I'm catching up on #BirdOfTheDay. Today's theme is #BranchingOut, and I found a likely candidate, a bronze-tailed plumeleteer, although he seems unimpressed. #birds #Photography #CostaRica
