So folks Rob has asked me to cover today’s #BirdOfTheDay as he had a very late night. Today’s theme on the hop is #snowy bird captures or #goldenhour bird captures. I took this early morning today. Good luck folks. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A European robin with a vivid orange-red face and breast stands on fresh white snow, captured in sharp side profile facing right. Fine snowflakes cling to its feathers and drift through the air around it, suggesting light snowfall. The bird’s upperparts are warm brown with neatly layered wing feathers, while its underside fades to soft grey and white. Slender legs and delicate feet are partially sunk into the snow, as if it has just landed or is about to hop. Behind the robin, dark, leafless branches dusted with snow form a softly blurred background, creating strong contrast that highlights the bird’s bright colouring and alert, glossy black eye.

A misty day at the lake finds distant trees shrouded in a light fog. The calm water broken by three little ducks on a morning swim. A peninsula juts into the water boasting colourful winter bramble & supported by ancient tall evergreen trees which are reflected in the water. The sky is neutral and appears whitish grey.

So Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GoodLight Bird capture where you had good lighting conditions, and the Alt Theme is #Gulls I’m going with this Common Redshank taken this morning as the morning sun began to rise. Good luck folks. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A Common Redshank stands in shallow coastal water, its grey-brown plumage lit by warm light. The bird faces right, showing a slender red-orange bill and bright red legs, with gentle ripples around its feet and a clear reflection mirrored on the wet sand below, where seaweed and small stones line the shoreline.

That's 'Marlon'...my regular Merlin, again on the power pole he loves to cop a squat on...this time he's facing me at least, but looking west to watch the sun set with me...Zen birding. And he even gave me a look. Sweetheart little falcon! I hope he keeps stopping by!
