The #BirdOfTheDay theme today from @alan678.bsky.social is #least and this means the bird in your camera roll that you have the least captures of. Probably this Buff-rumped Warbler from Panamá. Early in the morning, jumping around on the forest floor. Very tricky. #birds #photography

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social is all about #Fighting birds. Hummingbirds fighting (so territorial) and a turkey vulture being chased by a kingfisher (I think) and a red-winged blackbird. My wife loves the little birds fighting off the big birds. #birds #photography

For #colourful #birdoftheday from @alan678.bsky.social, I’ve chosen this Fiery-billed Aracari because it’s the first toucan I’ve seen out in the wild, it wasn’t there long, and it was way up in the trees. #birds #photography #sonyalpha
