Ladies and Gentlemen, please say hello to Ghana and meet it's charismatic inhabitant, the Yellow-billed Turaco.
It's brilliant red and bright green come from special pigments unique to Turacos.

They may be common, but I never take seeing them for granted. Stunners, always. 🪶

Green Plover, Peewit or Lapwing shimmering under the sun. Spectacular to watch, though impossible to photograph, in flight.

A Turkey Of A Shot

Actually, it's a shot of a "Stinky" Turkey. #BirdOfTheDay #Feathers&Form #FeatheredFriday #FlyDay

Heron Lake, Añangu, Ecuador

An Opisthocomus hoazin, or Stinky Turkey, sits on branch at the edge of Heron Lake. The bird is up against the rainforest, not moving because he knows it is tough to get close to them. It gets its foul odor from eating toxic plants.

I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift. 💚

Piping Plover parents share incubating & chick rearing duties, watching & protecting their young ones around the clock. This family lived on the busy beaches of Breezy Point Tip. Only one of their brood survived to become a fledgling. We are working hard with NYC Parks & National Park Service …

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌍🌏🌎 #whatbird #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
Image description: A photo of a medium-sized wading bird standing in shallow, rippling water. The bird is shown in profile, featuring its characteristic black cap and back, pale gray wings, and white underparts. It has a thick, pointed beak and a striking, bright red eye. Its reflection is visible in the dark, shimmering water below. Clue: "I'm a widespread, red-eyed wader that hides in the shadows by day and hunts the marsh by night, wearing a sleek black cap and a hunched silhouette." Fun fact: They nest in large colonies and if a chick from a different nest (even a different species like an egret) ends up in their nest, the parents will usually just shrug and raise it as their own.

Wow, nice aurora in Maine now with tall pink emissions that are probably visible from dark and clear locations north of the 45th parallel. Check it out: go.theauroraguy.com/webcams

The world feels rough right now

So please enjoy this shrimp, filmed off Cozumel, Mexico. It may be a larval reef shrimp, but we don’t know what species or how long it lives or what it eats. The world is still full of wonder and beauty and mystery.

@alan678.bsky.social 's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FoodFinds - 'any bird with food in it’s mouth'. a Gentoo penguin feeds its chick krill. chick head in mouth (along with the krill) counts for food in mouth, right? #photography #birds #Penguins #EastCoastKin #wildlife
a gentoo penguin regurgitates krill to feed its chick. the chicks stick their heads in parent's mouth to feed. Gentoo is a medium sized penguin with white eye patch on black head - often these had white speckles on their heads. bright orange beaks

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @alan678.bsky.social is #FoodFinds: any bird with food in it’s mouth. Well you asked for it! Here's a Black-crowned Night Heron about to enjoy a very filling meal! 🪶
