The #birdoftheday theme for today is Thrushes.
Here are 4 members of the thrush family at the #weedypond
The first 3 are all winter migrant visitors - notice the totally black Blackbird - both beak & eye-ring.
Fieldfare; Redwing; Blackbird; Song Thrush.

I don’t think I’ve gotten a #thrush yet for my #birdoftheday (not for lack of trying, believe me) but here’s the alt #wader: my favorite (so far) #heron, the #tricoloredheron. I love how weird they are. 🪶

Here’s a #mottled yellow-bellied sapsucker. I’ve spotted these a couple of times but the light conditions were terrible, so I was really happy to find this beauty in a shady area at #alligatorrivernationalwildliferefuge. 🪶

The #birdoftheday is #swan. These tundra swans stopped in Virginia Beach last winter at a wildlife sanctuary on their way south and they were so loud, I could hear them honking from half a mile away. 🪶

This #yellow #birdoftheday is from one of those days where the birds were so excited about eating that they ignored me and I got some of my #favorite shots as a new #birder. 🪶 They’re wise to me now, and I’ve struggled to get a decent #goldfinch ever since. 😂

This little #killdeer is my #birdoftheday. I love these but it’s a challenge to get a good shot.

You’ve really got to look close at this #birdoftheday shot of birds #fighting, but here is a #mallard trying unsuccessfully to drown his rival. 🪶 It was quite a show!

The #Birdoftheday is #underrated, which reminds me to always take a moment to appreciate the “everyday” birds. 🪶

I’m so excited that the #Birdoftheday is a #grebe. I found this #pied-billgrebe last weekend casually swallowing this gigantic fish.

The #Birdoftheday is #egret. 🪶 I’m always grateful to run across an egret; they make great models and they stand still 😂

I went and did a little #osprey watching after work the other day and these beauties were doing their thing. I’m not sure what kind of fish is in that third picture but it’s putting up a good fight. 🪶 #raptor #Birdoftheday #birdphotography #chesapeakebay #nature
