🌏 Cerulean Kingfisher (Alcedo coerulescens) This small, metallic blue kingfisher with white underparts is endemic to parts of Indonesia. It lives in low-lying aquatic areas like streams, estuaries, and mudflats. It is a resident species, hunting by diving from a low perch or hovering over the water to catch aquatic insects, crustaceans, and small fish. No subspecies are recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: The Cerulean Kingfisher thrives in coastal, low-lying habitats like mangrove creeks, tidal estuaries, and fishponds, showing a strong preference for saltwater or brackish environments compared to many other river kingfishers. 📷: Photo by feathercollector via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/common-kingfisher-kingfisher-jade-8376008/ ZWSM

Two vibrant green parrots perched on the dried leaves of a banana tree, bathed in sunlight, displaying their striking plumage. The parrots, one in the foreground and the other slightly behind. The foreground parrot is facing left, with detailed green plumage and distinct features: a yellow beak, and a touch of red near its eyes, and the parrot on the right appears to have a similar plumage and beak, slightly turned, showcasing the depth and texture. The parrots' poses convey a sense of curiosity and alertness. The first one is looking to the left and the second one, slightly behind it, faces the viewer. The other details of their characteristics and features are visible in the image. The setting appears to be a natural environment, possibly a garden or a tropical area, where the parrots have found a resting spot. The lighting is strong, with sunlight illuminating the scene from behind, causing the highlights and shadows that add depth to the image. The sunlight also adds a warm tone. The overall mood is peaceful and serene, conveying the harmony of nature and wildlife.

This American Widgeon made a rare appearance and a two day stopover at my local lake. These birds without borders can be found from N. Alaska all the way to northern S. America and the Caribbean. #ducks #birdsoftheworld #birds #aves #birdphotography #birdsofbluesky #wildlife #birdsky #nature

Goedemorgen! Een foto van niks maar het is de sperwer die op een tak zit in onze tuin. Plotseling waren alle vogels weg. Beter kreeg ik hem er niet op. De kop zit net achter een tak en nog nooit in de tuin gehad. 🌿🤨 Maar bewijs!🦅😅

Je ziet de staart van de sperwer die op een tak zit in onze tuin. Helaas zit de kop achter een tak. Alle kleine vogels waren plotseling weg!

There's a bush on my walk to my mate's house on a Sunday to watch the footie (least said the better concerning today's game 😔) that's always alive with bird chatter. I knew what they were, but thought to stop and carefully insert my phone. Mostly leaves and branches, but five seconds of joy! #birds

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for
clue) 🌍 #WhatBird #BirdID | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
"I am a small, brown, streaky bird, widely distributed across the Palearctic. I am known for my distinctive "parachuting" display flight and thin, high-pitched "tsi-tsi" call. In winter, I am a common sight on coastal marshes and mudflats, but in summer, you can find me on open moorlands and rough grasslands where I often host the eggs of the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus). What bird am I?" Gemini 3 (Edited) 📷: Photo by karsten_madsen via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/users/karsten_madsen-5078745/

Slowed the shutter way down for this Pelican in flight. Sony a1 and 200-600. 1/20s, f/6.3, ISO 800, +1.0EV. #birds #birdphotography #birdsoftheworld #sonyalpha #nature #panningphotography #wildlife #NaturePhotography #BirdWatching #photography
Using a. very slow shutter speed, the motion of this Pelican in flight is more dramatic with the blurry wings and streaky waves of the ocean.

🌎 Northern Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula caparoch) #NorthAmericanBirds | #NorthernHawkOwl #HawkOwl #SurniaUlula | #NorthernHawkOwls #HawkOwls #TrueOwls #Owls 📷: Photo by Erik_Karits🦉 #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜
🌎 Northern Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula caparoch) The American subspecies of the Northern Hawk Owl has a hawk-like appearance with a long tail, pointed wings, and a round head with a white face bordered in black. Its plumage is dark brown and white, heavily barred underneath. Its distribution is primarily across the boreal forests of Alaska and Canada. It is nomadic, moving southward into the northern US in winter, especially when prey is scarce. It is unusual for an owl as it is mostly diurnal (active by day). It hunts from prominent perches, like treetops, flying fast and low, and can hover before swooping on small mammal prey. Two other subspecies are recognised. Gemini 3 (Edited) Conservation status: Uncertain (COSEWIC) Fun fact: These owls are considered nomadic, not strictly migratory. Their populations and location shift dramatically based on the availability of their primary food source: Small rodents. 📷: Photo by Erik_Karits via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/northern-hawk-owl-owl-bird-animal-6961771/ QQXY
