Since I’ve never even seen any #thrushes in my entire 62 years (sheltered life), I’m going to have to go with the alternate #BirdOfTheDay theme of #waders

#BirdOfTheDay main theme is #mottled with an alt theme of #blurry and it seems I have checked both boxes with this female red-winged blackbird. #birds #EastCoastKin

This juvenile bald eagle is #birdoftheday with its #mottled feathers. It’s sporting the latest “beach hair, don’t care” look with the wind at its back.

She was eating right next to the walking path. I had to back up for my zoom lens to be able to focus.
Those eyes, though. ❤️

A young Red-headed Woodpecker, who still has some gray head feathers, did not want a Pileated Woodpecker around and let the much bigger bird know.

Sorry for the delay, my mum being ill needed my time over the last 36hrs, and a Birthday Break/Trip to see the Grey Seals starts tomorrow.

But here goes with today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StareDown, any bird looking at you, and the Alternative is #GullsInFlight.

This memorable day in 2017 is in my top ten of lifetime birding experiences. Having a #staredown with a 🪶Great Gray Owl is something that you don’t forget. #BirdOfTheDay

I’m a huge fan of mammals (except for humans - the jury is still out on them) and this week I am going to post a mammal a day in addition to my bird of the day. #mammals #squirrels #EastCoastKin
