The resident Bewick's wren was a late afternoon entry for #LightAndShade & #photogenic, as I find these little birds adorable.

A couple of weeks ago I read how mourning doves draw up water when they drink, "using their beaks like sipping straws. Saved $$ reusing a nice piece of ceramic leftover...using the "it might come in handy one day" philosophy 😀
Young mourning dove knows where to get a "draw" of water-Alt. #Birds #BirdOfTheDay #BirdingTX #Photogenic

Vertical photo of a pigeon-sized water bird with black feathering, long thin legs and tall feet, a bright rose-coloured beak and white forehead. The animal is running across a calm water surface with open wings, carrying some kind of aquatic plant with it in its beak. Its steps are leaving high splashes of water in their wake which, like the bird, are backlit by an invisible low sun. The strong backlight highlights the water splashes and the remiges of the animal as well as their reflections, while making both water surface and background look almost entirely black. In the middle at the bottom there is my copyright saying 'C. P. / All rights reserved. Do not reupload. Do not use with/for any kind of AI.'
With the current #BirdOfTheDay alt theme, #LightAndShade by @alan678.bsky.social, it's definitely time again for one of my special #coot mating season captures! 💕

Osprey, staring at photographer. Head shot of bird of prey with white body, black back, black back of head finishing off in smaller black and brown lines kind of forming a mask around the yellow eyes.
Pine Warbler in a bird bath. Diminutive sized green back bird with yellow under, short beak. Photographed in mid splash, back feathers blurred from splish-splash bath action. Tiny black eyes and front of bird caught in sharper focus.
Small black and white bird on rot collar of a Florida Cherry tree. Warbler with black body and white stripes.
Red- Shouldered Hawk captured while observing photographer. Branches and leaves blurred in foreground of image, with the hawk being in sharper focus and softly lit from behind.
Entries for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Photogenic, birds you find photogenic, the Alt theme is #LightAndShade, bird captures with lighting contrast.

There are two magpies visible in the image.The birds are in a tree with numerous bare, intricate branches. The background is a bright, clear blue sky.One magpie is located in the upper left portion of the image, while the second is positioned in the lower left section.
This moment, frozen, framed, in time,
takes on the epic stature
of a metaphor, a myth:
what of the previous second
in our passing time? What
of the next second?
Where have those birds come from,
where may they go next? 🖤🖤

Acorn Woodpecker on log: Medium sized bird with bluish-black back, red cap, black cheek, white in front of and below eye and black just behind the beak. Chest is white with black zig-zag pattern. Bird is in the foreground perched on a log with bare branches in the background.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #Photogenic and the alt theme is #LightAndShade. This gorgeous Acorn Woodpecker photo covers both. I saw this beauty in #NewMexico. #wildlifephotography #nature #EastCoastKin 🪶

Alan H's @alan678.bsky.social theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #photogenic, with the alt theme of #LightandShade. So here is a Black Crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), taken in the south Florida Everglades.
A feisty little female Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) looking as though she has maybe just spotted a challenger for her mate. Taken along the river Almond in Livingston, West Lothian.
A juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) taken along the Harrison Water in Livingston, West Lothian.
And for the alternative theme of #LightAndShade here is a Long Eared Owl light on one side by a setting sun. Taken in the Pentland Hills, west of Edinburgh.

A side profile of a European robin perched on a slender, mossy green branch. The bird is easily identifiable by its vibrant orange-red breast and face, which contrasts with its light brown wings and white underbelly. It is set against a soft, out-of-focus green background.
A very #photogenic Robin
In some #LightAndShade

When you catch a sunny male Black-headed Grosbeak as the wind lifts up his floofy breast feathers you've solved the Stunday BOTD puzzle.
Well, let's see...🤔

...that has #lightandshade...
...and is #photogenic enough for the #BirdOfTheDay... 💡

A robin sitting on a lichen covered branch, looking up. Much of its body is in the shade but light is coming through the leaves, illuminating part of the face and its eye. The tip of the beak is obscured by a thin blurred-out branch.
Happy #Stunday from my namesake!
I took this the other day and it seemed like a good fit for #BirdOfTheDay #LightAndShade as well as #photogenic.
