A striking bird with a jet-black head and brilliant orange underparts splashes energetically in a shallow, leaf-filled woodland pool. Droplets of water are captured mid-air as the bird beats its wings, creating shimmering ripples on the surface that reflect its vibrant colors. The surrounding environment is a mix of dark earthy tones and soft green reflections, highlighting the bird as it bathes in the dappled forest light.

A Great Blue Heron stands in a grassy field alongside a group of curious cows. Another heron can be seen in the foreground, creating a peaceful scene of different species coexisting in harmony.

Superb starling (Lamprotornis superbus) in an aviary. This species is classed as Least Concern (2024) on the IUCN Red List but with a decreasing population trend. It is extant to Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia, and introduced to the United Arab Emirates (BirdLife International 2017). In situ, forages on the ground for invertebrates (i.e. termites, grasshoppers, caterpillars and beetles) as well as small fruits and nectar (Feare and Craig 1998). It is gregarious and found in fairly large flocks. Peaks in breeding activity occur in March-April and November-December for East Africa (Feare and Craig 1998). Cooperative breeding has been observed, with juvenile birds helping the adults to construct nests and feed the chicks (Feare and Craig 1998). Superb starlings may build their own nests, which are roughly constructed from twigs lined with grass and feathers with a side entrance and are sited in thorn trees or holes in trees/cliffs about 1-5-6 m above the ground; they also sometimes take over the nests of other birds such as those of white-headed buffalo-weavers (Dinemellia dinemelli) (Feare and Craig 1998). The clutch usually consists of about four dark blue eggs, which are incubated for about 12-13 days perhaps by both sexes, however in captivity only females have been observed incubating (Feare and Craig 1998). The nesting period lasts for 18-24 days, and the chicks are fed with invertebrates (especially caterpillars), and sometimes berries (Feare and Craig 1998). Fledglings are fed by parents and helpers for 4-7 weeks after leaving the nest (Oiseaux birds (no date)). It is threatened by the pet trade.
@alan678.bsky.social This is an archive #photograph for #BirdOfTheDay of a #SuperbStarling for the alternative theme of #ColourfulCaptures. This was in a massive arid based aviary, hence the cacti. #photo #photography #starling #superb #colourful 🪶

Here’s a closeup of a male red-bellied woodpecker, facing right while clinging to a bird feeder, holding a sunflower seed in its beak. The pink/purple in the background is a rhododendron flower.
A male Baltimore oriole perches on a branch facing right and showing off its bright orange breast. The pink/purple in the upper right is a rhododendron flower.
A blue Jay clings to a bird feeder, facing right, with a sunflower seed in its beak. The pink/purple in the background is a rhododendron flower.
A female Cardinal perches on a branch facing the camera but with its head looking off to the left. The pink/purple in the background is a rhododendron flower.
For #ColourfulCaptures in my back yard, I wait for the few weeks that the rhododendron is in bloom to use as a backdrop for these regulars: red-bellied woodpecker, Baltimore oriole, blue jay and northern cardinal.

So here's a juvenile Woolly-Necked Stork striding out and a Little Bee-eater showing off its colours.

A picture of four Goslings centre frame that are all facing and walking to the right in a one-two-one formation on a tarmac path next to a lake. The back and front Goslings front feet are raised from the ground, and the one in the middle nearest the camera looks like it's standing on one leg. They all have dark brown feathers, dark beaks and pale pink legs, and webbed feet. The edge of the lake is visible across the top of the frame, and there's a tuft of green foliage visible in the top right-hand corner.

A photo of an Allen's gallinule (Porphyrio alleni) wading in shallow clear water with one very large orange foot raised, mid-step, as it looks down toward its own reflection. It is a small wading bird with a stout body and a small head on the end of a short neck and long legs that end in large, long-toed feet. Its coloring is bright and vivid with iridescent violet-blue breast and neck, shiny olive-green back, aqua-blue wings, a black head, red irises, bright red beak, a pale blue shield above its bill, and bright orange legs and feet. It is facing toward the right of frame in shady lighting with a brown rocky shore behind it.
A colorful Allen's gallinule mid-step for #BirdOfTheDay. Sorry they spelled its name wrong, @alan678.bsky.social. #SteppingOut #ColourfulCaptures

A Brown Pelican rises out of a blurred blue-green ocean, a few droplets of water trail behind. His wings are extended up and out in a wide V, and he is leaning slightly to his left (our right:).
Hope you are soaring into the weekend✨

A male and female Northern cardinal are paired up (facing right) at the feeder cam. I love their bright reddish-orange beaks.
You can tell it's #Spring. Pairs of birds are everywhere. 🪶 #BackyardBirds #ColourfulCaptures #BirdOfTheDay
