Great Blue Heron preening on a post in the water of Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Southern California. This is a watercolor conversion of a photo that I took a few years ago.
#GreatBlueHeron created this from a #Photo I took at #BolsaChicaWetlands in #SoCal #PhotoToPainting #Art #Bird #Preening
"a #Preening, #ScowlingVoid of #Nothingness" Jesus Christ that is a delightful read! And I could hardly wait for #JoannaColes' review!?
White Wing Dove
Zenaida asiatica
(hmm, given there are only a couple of actual white feathers)
Though native to Southern US, Central America + the Caribbean, what's with 'asiatica' in the Latin name? Was it introduced into this range? #birds #dove #costarica #photography #preening
Mute swan preening while in the water. The swan's head and necked are tucked into its back, with its left wing and foot partially raised. It's completely white, except for its foot which is pale black. A small white feather is floating down underneath its raised wing. The dark blue water is slightly rippled.

This is a light brown chachalaca in dappled sunlight preening its tail feathers. It's standing on a branch next to the roof of the house with wild olive tree leaves as a backdrop. It seems to have two sets of tail feathers: long ones and short ones. Or, are they new ones and old ones? No matter, they must be well-groomed and this bird is just the one to do it! Her well-shaded eye barely shows up, being in the deep shade, but you can still see the twinkle of pride gleaming there in!

This is a #commonChachalaca that came around my yard for a while last summer, with 1-3 juveniles. She enjoyed flying up to this high perch to take a break from her young and get her feathers back in order after a morning of "momming."

Going with the alternative #birdoftheday theme today, #preening
American Coot
and one Pied-billed Grebe in the center
@alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FoodFinds any bird with food in it's mouth, the Alt theme is #Preening.
Here's another shot of Larry & Lora Little Egret, Larry wouldn't share his #FoodFinds so Lora just did some #Preening instead.

Since Alan's choice of the alternative theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #preening, and that's probably my favourite thing to see a bird doing, I have to post a photo!

@alan678.bsky.social has set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FoodFinds any bird with food in it’s mouth and the alternative is #preening any bird preening. Here's my contribution, a Black headed gull with a taste for biscuits. I don't know what type though #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
Six mottled brown water birds at sandy shore edge...three are preening and 3 are resting.

A juvenile American white pelican preens itself at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. In this color vertical photograph the pelican fills the frame as it perches on a branch near water level with its back towards the camera. The pelican is stretching back around its body with its neck twisted so its beak can reach its body feathers. Feathers arounds its beak and body are slightly puffed up. The relatively calm blue water fills the background. Photo by Kort Duce

A great blue heron preens itself at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado. In this black and white vertical photograph a heron stands on a branch, which crosses the bottom of the frame, with its neck bent down and its head twisted back under its neck to reach its chest and body feathers with its beak. Its beak is open as it grabs feathers. Its two long head feathers are flopping back over its head. One eye is visibly open. One leg is slightly lifted from the old weathered branch. The background is the smooth pond water that is monochrome white. A classic black and white image. Photo by Kort Duce
