Small duck with a white head, brown face, black spot on neck and pink and black beak and gray and black back feathers and long tail (not visible in photo). In the foreground is ice and the duck swims among big waves. The sun reflects off of the duck's head and back of his neck. This is a Long-Tailed Duck.

Today's #birdoftheday theme is #sideview. Yesterday's (which I missed) was #perfectlighting so went for a 2fer. This is one of our most beautiful winter ducks, the Long-Tailed Duck. They are a tiny diving duck and they make a bugling sound. #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #EastCoastKin

Two large birds of prey perch on a thick, slanted tree branch against a softly blurred green background. They have black backs and wings, creamy white necks and chests patterned with dark horizontal streaks, and bold yellow-orange skin on their faces. Their hooked beaks are pale bluish-gray with darker tips. Both birds stand tall on long, sturdy yellow legs with sharp talons gripping the branch. One bird faces slightly left, looking upward with an alert posture. The other stands higher on the branch, turned toward its companion with its beak slightly open, as if calling. At their feet, a small piece of prey rests on the bark, hinting at a recent meal. The overall impression is of two vigilant, confident raptors surveying their surroundings.

About Crested Caracaras:
	Crested Caracaras are falcons, but they behave more like vultures in some ways. Unlike most falcons that hunt fast-moving prey in flight, caracaras often walk on the ground to forage.
	They are opportunistic feeders, eating carrion, small animals, reptiles, insects, and even scraps from human activity.
	Their long legs make them unusually terrestrial for a bird of prey, allowing them to stride across open fields and grasslands.
	They are highly intelligent and have been observed manipulating objects and working together in pairs or small groups.
	In flight, they show broad wings and a white neck contrasted against dark body plumage, making them distinctive.
	They are found in the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, and much of South America, favoring open country, ranchlands, and wetlands.

Crested Caracaras combine the bold presence of a raptor with the adaptable habits of a scavenger, making them one of the most versatile birds of prey in the Americas.

A male house finch with his deep red head and chest contrasting his brown and white wings and tail is seen in profile as the sun spotlights him at the top of a feeder pole. The background is filled with a blur of dark shadows, green leaves, and pinkish leaves of a Japanese maple tree (across the top border).

#birdoftheday almost #perfectlighting on two Andean Mot-mots on a recent morning. I am traveling to Ireland and the US for March (currently in Massachusetts, flying to Dublin tomorrow). I'll be photographing very different birds until March 28. For instance, this cardinal in pretty good light.

A restless flycatcher launching itself from a tree trunk, its wings spread wide. The bird is strongly lit from above and behind, casting a sharp shadow onto the tree trunk immediately in front of it.

@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay is #PerfectLighting a bird capture in good lighting

The good lighting for this flycatcher wasn't the bird itself, but the beautiful shadow cast on the tree trunk at Bald Knob

Today's #BirdOftheDay Theme is #PerfectLighting. Here are ones I loved because of the lighting.

- Barn Swallow
- Female Redwinged Blackbird
- Savanna Sparrow
- Eastern Kingbird.

They all look like they were posing for me. Love these little birds you find along the rural roads of #Manitoba.

I'm a bit late to the party today Alan - that's a lovely lit shot. For today's #BirdOfTheDay #PerfectLighting theme I've just got a Robin but I think the light brings out its plumage, colour and shape really well.

As some have noted, #PerfectLighting, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, is entirely subjective. My two penn'orth: It all depends on whether you were able to achieve your creative intent. Here's a starling on our roof at sunset from a week ago.
