Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingInWater, any bird standing in water. Like this Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca), seen at #PointPinole in #Richmond, #NorthernCalifornia, identified by its long bright yellow legs and long bill.
#GreaterYellowlegs #birds #birding
And when beneath the pool
They dabble, and when they swim
And make their rippling rings,
O ducks are beautiful things!

A mated pair of Crimson Rosellas have made my front yard their territory. They bicker with the neighbours daily and own this birdbath, I just pay the mortgage. #BirdOfTheDay #StandingInWater

A Robin having a splashy bath in a lake. The bird has an orange chest, brown wings and a white throat. The bird is looking at the camera and there are water droplets in the air.
A Rusty Blackbird in the water near the shore. The bird is rusty brown with brown and black wings. The beak is open and there are water droplets in the air.
A Pipit in the water looking down at it's reflection. The bird is mottled light and dark brown. There is some black in the wings and on the tail feathers.

Here is an American Bittern #Standinginwater. This bird camouflages so well that if I took my eyes off it for a moment I had a hard time finding it again. #lifer
