Two cormorants. #birdsoftheworld
Two cormorants, not sure if they're a pair, perched on a yellow Palace of Westminster marker floating on the River Thames.

A Green Jay for the #blue theme of #birdoftheday picked by
@robcrank68.bsky.social Thankfully, it decided to land in the shade, which helped with the exposure. #birds #wildlife #birdsoftheworld #photographersofbluesky #BirdWatching #NaturePhotography
The green, yellow, and blue plumage of this green Jay are quite striking.

James Vander-Beak was adorable this morning as usual 😍. I'm trying to keep feed off the ice bc the deer won't stop walking on it! That worries me so much. #MallardMonday #ducks #waterfowl #Canadiangeese #birds #birdsoftheworld #Audubon #AmericanBirdingPodcast #greenwingedteal #birdphotography

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #whatbird #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
Image description: A medium-sized parrot with vibrant green plumage perched on a wooden branch. The bird features distinct chestnut-brown patches on its forehead and chin, with a patch of creamy white skin around its eyes marked by tiny black feather lines. Hints of bright blue and red are visible on the edges of its wings. The background is a soft-focus tropical green. Clue: "I’m the 'Mini-Macaw' who wears a subtle brown crown and hides a splash of rainbow colours under my wings." Fun fact: Despite their smaller size, these parrots are incredibly social and intelligent. In the wild, they are often seen visiting "clay licks"—riverbanks where they eat mineral-rich soil to help neutralize toxins from the seeds and unripe fruits in their diet!

This morning, we heard the distinctive "cheese-burger" courtship song of the Black-capped Chickadee for the 1st time in 2026. yes, spring is on the way, but this bird may have been jumping the gun just a wee bit! #birds #AB

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay alternative theme #Blue
set by @robcrank68.bsky.social

My latest capture of a Red-flanked Bluetail surely fits the theme!

Little blue heron, Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, FL. I grew up in Merritt Island and graduated from MIHS (go Mustangs!), but I hadn't been there in ~25 years. I didn't know at the time (nor would I have cared) that I was living next door to an incredible birding spot.

My friends had a 59F day! They had to really climb up some snow mountains to eat but they made it. Stuff is melting but not enough. Least they had a break from the freezing temps. James Vander-Beak was glad his hair wasn't frozen! #MallardMonday #ducks #birds #lightsoutformigratorybirds #Audubon

A Black and White Owl! I definitely wasn’t expecting to see an owl in the limited time I had in Costa Rica 🤩🤯
