I don’t think I’ve gotten a #thrush yet for my #birdoftheday (not for lack of trying, believe me) but here’s the alt #wader: my favorite (so far) #heron, the #tricoloredheron. I love how weird they are. 🪶

Here’s a #mottled yellow-bellied sapsucker. I’ve spotted these a couple of times but the light conditions were terrible, so I was really happy to find this beauty in a shady area at #alligatorrivernationalwildliferefuge. 🪶

The #birdoftheday is #swan. These tundra swans stopped in Virginia Beach last winter at a wildlife sanctuary on their way south and they were so loud, I could hear them honking from half a mile away. 🪶

This #yellow #birdoftheday is from one of those days where the birds were so excited about eating that they ignored me and I got some of my #favorite shots as a new #birder. 🪶 They’re wise to me now, and I’ve struggled to get a decent #goldfinch ever since. 😂

I went and did a little #osprey watching after work the other day and these beauties were doing their thing. I’m not sure what kind of fish is in that third picture but it’s putting up a good fight. 🪶 #raptor #Birdoftheday #birdphotography #chesapeakebay #nature
