Rob Crank’s @robcrank68.bsky.social alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Paridae. This Carolina Chickadee grudgingly posed for me the other day.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme per Rob Crank @robcrank68.bsky.social is #GullsInWater, any gull in water. Here’s a lesser black-backed gull with his little buddy, a Forster’s tern. Not sure whose tail that is.

Rob Crank @robcrank68.bsky.social has given us #Ducks as the #BirdOfTheDay theme. Here’s an American black duck I saw a little over a year ago.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FavouriteOfTheMonth. Today was (finally) a lovely day to find a favorite, and here it is, a solitary adult male red-winged blackbird showing off his stuff to a bevy of available females.

Alan H is still giving us #BirdOfTheDay themes, even from his sickbed. Today’s is #EyeContact. This red-shouldered hawk was giving me the stink eye when I snapped him.

Today’s theme is #iridescent for #BirdOfTheDay. These two ruby-throated hummingbirds were taking a few moments out from chasing every other bird in their vicinity. Fun fact: They practice facial recognition. If one hovers around your face, it’s memorizing you.

Alan H’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BrownIsBeautiful. My offerings are a few wizards of camouflage (or examples of hit-and-miss photography), a hermit thrush and an Arizona woodpecker.

Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of birds showing #poise with an alt theme of #white. Since i’m still going through my spring photos from Arizona, I thought I’d post this acorn woodpecker. Maybe just a bit of poise along with the bit of white.

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Tailsup. I snapped this song sparrow just a few days ago.

Our #BirdOfTheDay theme seems to be #BirdsFeeding. This dabbling mallard feeds while a wry Northern Shoveler takes a break.

So excited about my new Canon camera kit! Here’s an American Goldfinch chowing down.

I hear that the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BirdsInFlight. I caught this Bonaparte’s Gull during its hunting expedition on Monday.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Natural. This rock wren is standing on a rock (and surrounded by them).

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Feathers&Form, thanks to the intrepid Alan H @alan678.bsky.social. I have a weakness for red-shouldered hawks because of their lovely plumage. This one also enjoys a good football match now and then.

Ron Crank says our #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShortBeaks. Gambel’s quail have small bills but magnificent hats.

Alan H has announced today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #FoodFinds. I wish I could take credit for this one, but it’s my husband’s excellent photo of a merlin and its victim, a European starling. Ick.

Today’s primary #BirdOfTheDay theme, given to us by @alan678.bsky.social, is #CaughtInMotion. Here’s one of my favorites, the impossible-looking Black Skimmer. I’ve thrown in a Forster’s Tern with intact wingtips.
January 3, 2026 at 7:08 PM
@alan678.bsky.social has suggested the #BirdOfTheDay theme should be #branchingout. Here are a few for your perusal: Savannah Sparrow, Tufted Titmouse, Eastern Wood Peewee.
