Thank you, Rob! I always appreciate your wonderful themes for everyone to share their photos 🐦

Thank you, Ann! They really are day makers 😀

Rosy-faced lovebird. Here are a pair of small mainly green birds with sweet pink faces.. These are peeking out of a nesting cavity in a saguaro 🌵 cactus.

These charming birds are an invasive species to the Phoenix, AZ area...I lived in Mesa, AZ for many years and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them. I always heard them first, and wow, they are fast! 💚🪶

I couldn't love this more! So great. 💙

A Ruddy Turnstone stands on a dark coastal rock against a smooth blue sea backdrop, its bright orange legs planted firmly as it leans forward with its beak wide open, appearing to shout. Sunlight highlights the rich chestnut and mottled brown feathers on its back, while its white belly contrasts sharply below, giving the small wader a bold, indignant expression as if loudly protesting to the world.

Early bird catches the worm. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoutItOut birds calling out. The alt theme is #NestBuilders birds with nest material. Good luck everyone. 😊 See you a bit later. 😴 This one is for folks in different time zones to get a chance first. 😊 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Thank you, Alan !

Dark eyed junco. Small bird sitting atop bare branches with a green background. It's head is black and the underside is white with warm tones. It has the cutest pale pink beak.

Pale pink is the choice of spring lip shade for this little junco. 💗 🪶 So cute!

A Eurasian Tree Sparrow perched on a thin leafless branch. The bird is facing left, showing its chestnut-brown head, black bib, and patterned brown wings. Several bare twigs partially overlap the bird in the foreground. 細い落葉した枝にとまるスズメ。左向きで、栗色の頭部や黒い喉元、茶色の模様のある翼が見える。手前の複数の枝が一部重なって写っている。

Met this sparrow in an unusual spot for me. It seemed a little less cautious than usual 😅
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideView, so here’s a proper profile shot. 🪶

Borbilicious!

Reddish egret. It's staring at the water and has one wing above its head. It's standing in shallow blue water looking for food.

A reddish egret dances like no one is watching, day in and day out...pure joy ❤️🪶

A white Little Egret stands motionless in deep blue water, its long black bill pointed forward and its pale yellow eye sharply defined. Fine, delicate feathers trail from its body, catching the light. The still surface creates a clear reflection of the bird beneath it, slightly rippled but almost symmetrical, emphasising the calm, minimalist composition.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BirdsInTheirElement , birds in their natural environment, the alt is #Seabirds Good luck and yes my favourite birds are Little Egrets 😁😁 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Thanks so much!

He doesn't have a clue. He's systematically ruined the franchise I loved for 37 years and how depressing to see in writing that he thinks most fans don't want to win. He's the loser.

Snow Geese. Pink and lavender sunrise over a pond while many snow geese suddenly fly away.

A blizzard of snow geese at sunrise. Who decides when it's time to go? 😃🪶

A liking cover green log with a white snowy owl perched on it against the gray sky

The #BirdOfTheDay is #BranchBirds.

Snowy owl.

And yeah, I flew from Vegas to Vancouver to see snowy owls.

What a treat!! ❣️ Wonderful photo!

Thanks, Erin! I'm excited for branch day 😃

My goodness, how gorgeous! You're a lucky couple of fellas! Enjoy your day 😎

Crissal thrasher. A brown bird with a lovely profile sitting in many branches. There are a few orangish berries in the background..

Don't zoom in or you may get poked by one of the many branches in this picture! 😁 🪶

There can never be too many #birdbutt shots 🤣 Thank you!

I drove back over to southwest Missouri hoping to find the leucistic eagle 🪶 again and pray I could get some clean shots. She never got closer than 250 yards but I had some very good light to help this time 📷 #Birds #RareEagle #NatureLovers #Wildlife #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueSkyPhotographer

Thanks for sharing, Tom! I love a happy ending 🖤💙

A Black Kite flying across a clear blue sky, holding a fairly large fish in its talons. The wings are fully spread, and the bird is seen from below. 澄んだ青空を背景に、やや大きめの魚を足でつかんで飛ぶトビ。翼を大きく広げ、下方から見上げる構図。

A Black Kite flying by with a fairly big fish — and looking rather proud of the catch 😏🪶
#猛禽曜日 #FlyDay は相変わらずの空抜けトビ。カラスにお魚を横取りされないといいね😊

Those are gorgeous, what a sight!

Elegant trogon. He's turned it's back on me, showing an emerald green back, grey wings and a golden tail that has an iridescent blue tip. He's sitting on a branch in an oak forest.

Hey, I get to use a #birdbutt shot! 🪶💚🤣

Rear butt view of a fluffed blue tit perched on a curved metal bar, showing its soft green back, folded blue wings, and pale fluffy underside. Its small feet grip the metal, and the background is a smooth, warm brown blur that highlights the bird’s delicate feather detail and exceptional butt. 😂

Good morning, my cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has decided “ today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdButts, birds showing their Butts, the Alt theme is #Green, any bird with Green showing.” How about a theme combo, some green, some butt. 😂 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Love the lighting and the gorgeous bird !

Thanks, Alan! Gotta thank the bird for being so brutal 🤣

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! Nature never disappoints ❣️

This video gives me the biggest smile!! Thank you 💞
