A small American Pipit perched on a barbed wire fence, preening its feathers with its head turned backwards. The soft, out-of-focus background features a green landscape.

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.

A black bird with long tail feathers extends a wong whilst it preens itself.  It has a greyish, grooved, parrot-like beak. It is perched on a steel cable with a cloudless blue sky behind it.

For #BirdoftheDay I hope it is ok to share one more. From the same day as the Merlin. #Rapture

My 1st. photo capture of a #Red-TailedHawk #Preening I love that’s they are showing off their Red-Tail.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FoodFinds any bird with food in its mouth and the alternative is #preening any bird preening. 😀 #birds #photography #Bishop #SierreNevada

One of my first forays into bird photography.

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."

@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!

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.

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.

A juvenile bald eagle preens and scratches itself near their nest on Bootlegger Island at Flathead Lake in Western Montana. In this color vertical photograph one sees blue sky and a bald eagle balancing on one leg in a ponderosa pine tree. The bald eagle is hunched over and scratching its head after preening itself. It is a profile view. The rusty brown color of of the ponderosa pine branches have green lichen growing on them. The pine needles are mostly green, but some are brown with a brown pine cone underneath the eagle.
