Two birds with long necks are swimming on a backlit water surface toward the camera. The sunlight makes the water look like liquid gold. Both birds have dark brown feathering with white faces and black crests, with the one on the right showing a white chest. They are looking slightly to the left.

Only doing the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme by @alan678.bsky.social today which is #LongNecks.
Here is a pair of great crested grebes (Podiceps cristatus) in a sunny spring evening.

Late today! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme is #LongNecks any bird with a long neck. #birds #photography #ECK
A #bittern last week 🙌
I know...that's not exactly a long bird neck...but it is a long Woodhouse's Scrub-jay neck. I measured.
💙 As the #BirdOfTheDay folks are looking for #corvidae, or #longnecks, I went through my Scrubbies looking for one with a long neck...🧐
...which only proves I'm easily distracted. 🐦🌿

Great Egrets in the trees east of our home in the lower Yakima Valley…they are found on almost every continent which makes them a cosmopolitan species…

Great Blue Herons are fascinating! Their breeding plumage adds an extra layer of elegance that makes them such beautiful creatures to observe flying.

For the alt theme of #LongNecks for Alan's #BirdoftheDay today, here's a few Great Blue Herons seen at the #Oregon Coast over the weekend. One in particular is showing off the long neck on this bird! #Nature #Photography #Birds #PNWBirding #thepeoplescoast
Two egret chicks, fluffy and white, look up at their mama, very proud!
#LongNecks any bird with a long neck... and when you start out with long, little necks, you have no choice but to develop into a very long necked, beautiful egret!
"Great, Egret chicks arrive with style..."

A trio of somewhat dingy Trumpeter Swans, parents and offspring, float on the calm waters of a Minnesota slough on a cloudy later Summer afternoon.
A little family of Trumpeters, looking a bit dishabille after foraging in the turbid waters of a slough, show off their successful breeding season for all to see.

A male and a female Merganser in brownish water next to the embankment. The male has a white body with dark feathers on his back and a black head and red bill. The female has a light gray bod with a rusty orange head and orange bill. The feathers on the back of her head are fluffed out in a signature style. :)
Spring is coming!! This cute pair of Mergansers were cruising the canal alongside the Delaware River in New Jersey on this 70+degree day! Woohoo!! They had what looked like a teenager trailing after them. ;)
