What a difference between these two Snowy Egrets, with one of them all puffed up!

Normally, the crown is not readily visible in crowned warblers/kinglets. This Orange-crowned warbler wasn't happy with a second one competing for the suet. Sitting under the right light, the bird gave me a chance to capture a hint of the orange feathers.

I saw this Pine Warbler outside my window and grabbed the camera. As soon as I lifted it, he looked straight at me and I took a shot. Perfect for today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #Yellow birds.

Earlier today, this House Sparrow flew into the yard and perched herself right in front of me, as if to say, 'already with the warblers; look at me!' She is beautiful.
#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BrownIsBeautiful, celebrating subtle brown tones in birds.

The Black-bellied Whistling Ducks arrived as usual to sit on the rooftop. It's icy out there today, but I guess it's still a good preening spot.

Sunlight reflecting on fallen leaves provided a luminous background for this photo of an Orange-crowned Warbler about to have its dinner.

No weather vane needed; Blue Jay crest says winds out of the northeast this morning.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Paddling, birds standing in water, and here's a Snowy Egret doing just that.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #poise, and I like this photo I took a few days ago of a female House Sparrow perched in a shrub. I think she looks lovely.

It's freezing out there, but the yard is full of birds looking for food and water :)

Tricolored Heron, all puffed up. Looks prepared for the arctic outbreak, though it'll have to get out of the water!

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #birdinabush, like this beautiful Orange-crowned Warbler in a Golden Dewdrop plant.

Very gray and gloomy day ahead of the freeze. But at the park, a wonderful surprise! A pair of Northern Flickers foraging by the lake. Glad I decided to go out!

Per ‪@robcrank68.bsky.social‬, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TailsUp, so here's an American Goldfinch with its tail raised.
Hoping @alan678.bsky.social‬ is on the mend :)

I watched this Cardinal for a few minutes while he searched for food up and down completely dead vegetation. He actually found quite a bit to munch on!

Nice going! The Ibis seemed surprised by the Spoonbill's catch. Almost dropped it too!

This Orange-crowned Warbler was checking out a feeder when it suddenly realized it was being watched. Such a beautiful bird!

A Roseate spoonbill rushes in to join a group that seems to have found a good fishing spot!

Large bird, small fish, but it's still food!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FeedingTime. After a White ibis picked up a crab, another one tried to take it away. No such luck!
