A black tree trunk and branches painted on glass
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.

Photo of a seagull sitting on a snag protruding from the bank in Bandon, Oregon on a cloudy day.
Does a snag count for #BranchingOut? Asking for one of my little gull buddies.
May you day be full of peace. ✌

A European Blackcap perched in a hedge.
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.

A small brown bird with a red head and chest perches on a branch, among red berries.
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.
Red-winged blackbird perched on pine tree branch, facing right.
Great blue heron at edge of pond, facing left. Snow on the ground. There is a strip of open water along the shoreline. Rest of pond is ice-covered.
I have birds for each theme.

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.

A brown and gray bird with a white chest streaked in brown (song sparrow) perches on one of the top branches of a bare tree, facing right, against a clear blue sky.

A green hummingbird with red feet is on a branch, body facing the camera, but with its head turned to our left, showing a profile.
🪶 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
@alan678.bsky.social #birdoftheday theme is #branchingout, here is a Merlin and red tailed hawk in Goleta from the last few days! #birds #birdsky
