A Dunnock perched on Elder in song. The bird is in side profile, looking right. Its head is raised and beak open in song. A diagonal elder branch is in front of it, from its feet to the top right of frame. Another, smaller branch travels vertically to the left of frame. The background is out of focus grey to the left, turning to green/brown on the right

This Purple Finch and his friends decided they liked our back yard (and feeders!) so much they hung around most of the season. We were glad to have them.

Microbial clues uncover how wild songbirds respond to stress Researchers studied wild Northern cardinals to see how everyday challenges shape the gut microbiome. Even brief disruptions, like short handling or rival interactions, triggered microbial changes linked to stress hormones, body condition and beak coloration. Birds with the largest microbial shifts also showed pronounced physiological and visual stress responses, highlighting the gut microbiome as a sensitive indicator of health. The study reveals how subtle, routine stressors influence internal biology, offering new insights into how wild animals maintain resilience and cope with environmental pressures.

Great Egret, perched at top of a leafless tree.  Large wader, complete coverage in white feathers, long black legs extending down to tree branches.  Wind blowing longer strands of feathers of back out behind the bird.  Lit nicely by the setting sun.

Here's a #SongBirds who is also #PerfectlyPerched. A Tropical Kingbird seen near Sierpe, Costa Rica in January 2026. He's a ways away from the camera but I wanted to capture the greenery in the photo.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SongBirds. We’ve seen a mistletoe thrush two years in a row. It hangs around for a couple of weeks then moves on. Once so common now as rare as thrush’s teeth.

On a stronger branch, with quite a lot of lichen growing on it, a flustered robin. Lit from behind, so it's delicate feathers seem to glow.

 a close-up view of a small bird perched on a horizontal branch amidst lush green foliage. the bird is a juvenile Black Phoebe, characterized by its somewhat brownish-grey, fluffy plumage on the head and back, and a white belly and undertail area. it has a relatively large head, a short, straight black bill, and an alert, upright posture typical of flycatchers. the background consists of blurred green leaves.

A female blackbird standing on a small rock in my garden. She’s facing to the right with a little light catching her feathers and making them gleam. In front of her is a newly emerging fern its fronds just starting to uncurl.

A Field Sparrow sits on a slender branch among sunlit green leaves, facing right in warm golden light, its back to the viewer. Its soft gray breast, warm reddish crown, and delicate pink bill glow in the evening sun while the small bird balances lightly with its tail trailing behind, its head turned to its right shoulder so it is looking at the camera, clearly a lady with an attitude.

A Black-throated Sparrow perches on a smooth gray branch, body angled left so we see his chest; he is looking over his left shoulder. The small desert sparrow shows a pale gray face with bold black-and-white stripes and a sharply defined triangular black throat patch above a soft gray belly. Fresh green leaves frame the branch against a softly blurred background. The little bird is a fella that was in the mood.

A Song Sparrow perches on a lichen-dusted branch against a bright blue sky, its brown streaks and central chest spot clearly visible. Facing left with an upright stance and its back to the viewer, the sparrow shows layered feather patterns along its back and tail while pale green lichens decorate the branch beneath its feet. The bird is looking over its left shoulder at the camera, alert and composed. 
Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it.

A Savannah Sparrow stands atop a pale yellow post beside deep blue water, facing right, tummy and chest visible, with its tail extended behind it. Its finely streaked breast and yellow eyebrow catch the warm sunlight while the background fades into a smooth blue blur. Balanced neatly on the flat perch, the small sparrow on its tiny stage is framed by light and open space. It looks sharply to the left to strike a pose; there’s nothing to it.

A brown bird facing left, with it's beak opened in song, is perched among red & grey, leafless branches. The bird has a grey eyebrow, white streaks on the neck & breast faint brown streaking on it's back. The primary flight feathers shine coppery brown in the sunlight.

#Birds Alan H ‪@alan678.bsky.social‬ picked today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #SongBirds. I have chosen the Song Sparrow. This little fellow has already started to quietly sing his song, even though there was fresh skiff of snow on the ground this morning.

A male Eastern Towhee (white-eyed) has a black throat, head and back, a rusty red side, and white belly. He is viewed from the side and has an open beak singing with his head lifted. He is perched on an unripe green cluster of berries atop a stem of Beautyberry, with its green/yellow leaves obscuring his tail and below him. The background is clear olive green which darkens away from the bird.

Most Eastern Towhees have a dark reddish eye, but this bird's eye is striking pale yellow, a characteristic found only in birds in Florida and some part of the south U.S.
