Thank you, the spoonbill was quite challenging to me. I have several shots with only the feet at the edge of the frame. 🤔

Since I had a day off, I went on a #photography #nature walk and got some additional images for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LongBeaks, any bird with a Long Beak.

Also hanging out in the reeds was a #RedWingedBlackbird

Work always seems to get in my way, back with a submission for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LongBeaks, any bird with a Long Beak. The Alt theme is #Gulls, any Gulls will do.
Here are a Tricolored Heron and a Laughing Gull.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #speckles&spots birds with speckled or spotted plumage. The alt theme is #most the bird you think you have most photos of 🪶
Here is a little Downy Woodpecker perched on a branch.

A little bit of doggerel for the new year...
I’m still getting used to this brand new New Year
I’ll misdate my checks a while longer, I fear
Whatever month passes, one thing remains clear
Sometimes you’re the headlights,
Sometimes you’re the deer

Heron fishing at sunrise. I don't normally get out for sunrise shoots, but my son convinced me to go a few years ago. Definitely worth it

The #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @alan678.bsky.social today is #caughtinmotion birds captured in movement and the alternative is #BirdsofPrey
This is an older image, softer than I like and early attempt at birds in flight that fits both themes. A Crested Caraca. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
