#Birdoftheday theme is #branchingout. I was captivated by this white throated magpie jay when we were in Huatulco, Mexico earlier this year. #magpie #birds #Mexico
A magpie jay with blue feathers and a white throat sits high in a tree on a thick branch. It has a curly black feather on its head like a fancy hat!

Another beautiful sunrise. I love the layers of colours. 💕 #sunrise #westcoast
Pink sunrise sky is reflected in the water. Twin mountains are in the shadows. The lights on the trees along the ocean promenade are still lit up, casting a soft golden glow.

#birdoftheday is the ever friendly pigeon, who also tend to congregate in #groups. Always room for one more! Spotted these on a warm day in Kiel, Germany. #pigeons
A flock of pigeons are standing in the garden under the shade of a tree. One pigeon is in flight, about to join them on the ground, with its wings spread wide.

We’ve had nothing but rain and more rain lately so this is from years past. The Anna’s hummingbird stays year round here on the west coast of Canada. #winterbirds #birdoftheday #annashummingbird #hummingbirds
A male Anna’s hummingbird sits on a branch of a snowy tree. A few of his beautiful fuchsia coloured feathers are showing colour but most look dark around its head. Body is mostly green.

In keeping with the #birdoftheday theme, this dark eyed junco was just #hangingaround! It had nested under a nearby bush and when I watered it, it came flying out. Hence the hairy eyeball in my direction!

Lovely tiger longwing butterfly at the butterfly house in Copenhagen. #macromonday #butterflies
Butterfly with long oval wings that are orange near the body and black and white on the outer edges. Tiger longwing seems such an appropriate name!
