From inside a hotel room in Washington, D.C., I look across the street and see myself reflected in the window of a neighboring hotel. Framed once by my hotel window frame and secondly by the opposite window frame.

I usually, pardon the expression, dump these photos into the trash, butt... in this case, I assk you, isn't it too cute to can?!
#birdButts #BirdoftheDay #Nature #BeKind
On a frosty winter morning, a hermit thrush stands on a branch that looks like an upside-down U. The bird is angled away from the viewer and has the brown tail pointed up--revealing the bright white butt feathers below. The tips of the wing feathers are slightly splayed and a dark brown/black color which frame the sides of the butt nicely. You can barely see the white eye ring and a few speckles on the side of the chest. The background is bokeh winter forest and blue skies.

This photo proves that the Shima-enaga(Long-tailed Tit) really is a bird — not just a fluffy snowball 🤣 🪶
少し遠かったけど、なんとか撮影できました😅

A split second of pure precision.
This Caspian Tern (Reuzenstern in Dutch) had just surfaced and tossed its catch into the air, perfectly timed before swallowing it mid flight.

A Caspian Tern flying against a clear blue sky with wings fully extended, a freshly caught fish suspended above its open red bill as it prepares to catch and swallow it in mid air.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DivingForFood, birds that dive under water for food, my submission is a California Least Tern in mid-dive. This endangered species has multiple breeding colonies around San Diego Bay, where I captured this image. #birds
A tiny gray and white seabird dives toward the waters surface in hopes of catching some fishy prey.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #DivingForFood.
This thieving Gull swooped in and snatched a fish from the Caspian Tern.
The Tern is outraged, the neighbors are appalled.

This morning walk was full of hummingbirds. This female (Anna's or Costa's maybe) is sitting on her nest. It was fairly close to the ground which surprised me. #Birds #Nature #Photography
Vertical, thick green plant stems fill the frame. Attached to one just above a leaf is a tan and white huumingbird's nest. In it sits a female with her black beak pointed off to the right. She has a light green cap, a white throat with a small, centered black spot. The lower half of her body sits inside the nest.

Good morning, BlueSky! This is a red-throated loon in non-breeding colors. #Birds #BirdoftheDay #DivingforFood
A beautiful loon floats by on the calm green water’s surface. The back is mostly dark gray with some white speckling. The neck and cheek are a bright white and the cap is a lighter gray. The bird looks back over its left shoulder.

I scrolled for a long time looking for a #Birds&Bugs photo. I’ve come to the conclusion that I may not be fast enough to get many of those shots! (I’m blaming my slow AF 🫠). So, I’m offering a #bird with a 🐠. #BirdoftheDay
A great egret stands among brown sea grass in the shallows. He looks at the viewer with a devilish stare as s/he has a small fish skewered on the end of his bright yellow beak.
