Such impressive camouflage. This little guy really does blend in with its surroundings. Browns and greys and its tail looks like one of the twigs on the ground.

I feel the bush stone curlew deserves a gallery all to itself. There is a curlew in the first shot...
Two camouflaged, two definitely not.

A bush stone curlew in a flowerbed. Look for the shadow... A bush stone curlew stepping out in a suburban garden. It's only visible because we're so close; when they stand stationary they just vanish. A bush stone curlew making itself very big to fight off a harassing magpie lark (in fact there were two, and a friarbird) A bush stone curlew trying to decide which beer it wants

Green Heron

It took me a long time to "see the green" here, as it's not glaring, like a blue heron.
It's in the wing sheen, in the right light.
Like this.

More herons and ibises, limpkins, roseate spoonbills, warblers and more, still roosting in my vintage […]

Photo by Fenichel A green heron in some low branches overlooking water. A small bird when hunched up, here it is fully elongated (its neck uncurled and head held high). S/he has a blude headd and beak, yellow eyes, cranberry/purple neck and its wings feature a pattern, with green sheen and yellow lines. Below it are twigs and green leafs.

Spotted these young Black Kites today - just the frame I wanted for #BirdOfTheDay theme, #TwoOfAKind

Two black kites - likely juveniles - on the ground. The bird on the left appears taller; most of its upper body is visible, while the bird on the right seems to be much younger and smaller.

Northern harrier at Pescadero State Park
https://www.flickr.com/photos/armadillosoft/50851216451/in/album-72157717950912007/

#otd 1/14/2021 #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #abirdaday (or more)
As they fly low, you'd think that harriers would be relatively easy to photograph. Not in my experience. Here's one hunting in a field with a blue stream running behind it. Contrasts well with the bird's browns and greys, so we get to set it pretty well. The bird is flying toward the left. Its left wing is raised so we see its pale white breast and the underside of its left wing - black and white on its edges and brown and white in the armpit area. Its dark right wing is aimed down and blurred against the water. We can see the bird's striking mask and its bright left eye and sharp beak. In the water behind the harrier are an assortment of black-headed and grey birds, blurry. They have nothing to fear from the harrier.

A Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) was standing on a Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) vine in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on December 19, 2025. These vines are related to grapes, but the fruit are not edible for humans even though the berries are eaten by many other species.
