For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, I've picked an Anna's hummingbird, who is afraid of nothing under the sky;
a Canada goose, who knows you're probably more afraid of him than the other way around;
and my personal favourite, a Greater Roadrunner who usually does run away but approached me instead

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, how about a Northern Cardinal surrounded by greenery and giving some intense side-eye? Also this Anna's Hummingbird is showing off her iridescent green back

For a theme about bushes, I would be totally remiss if I did not pick the Bushtit in the bush

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is wings!
A Cassin's Kingbird, Anna's Hummingbird, and Red-tailed Hawk (juvenile) couldn't be more different, but each one has a pair of beautiful wings ♥️

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, I went a bit nostalgic
The first Paridae family member I ever encountered was the Japanese Tit (if you'll excuse the poor camera back then)
And the last Paridae family member I've ever met was the Chestnut-backed Chickadee

Luckily for me, this Great Blue Heron I picked for #BirdOfTheDay both has its beak full and is wading at the same time!
For a bit of a cuter palate cleanse, I also have a Western Spindalis munching on a berry and an Orange-crowned Warbler with a mouth full of feather

I did attempt to take a photo of this male, but that Anna's hummingbird on the branch behind him ran him off 😅

For today's #BirdOfTheDay, I've only ever seen American Kestrels, but even within the species there's fun variations
Here I have a pale-bellied version (one of the Caribbean subspecies) next to her Northern cousin

First of all, what a lovely surprise to come across a Monty Python reference in the bird community!
For today's #BirdOfTheDay, the theme is the Ministry of Silly Walks, so I've picked a Savannah Sparrow fully booking it, as well as a Neotropic Cormorant who fully understood the assignment

Ducks! I love ducks so much 🥰
For today's #BirdOfTheDay I've picked American Wigeons, Ruddy Ducks, Green-winged Teal, Gadwall! These are all recent photos, so it's eclipse time for most of our ducks at the moment

Oof, today's #BirdOfTheDay is kind of difficult. At the moment, I guess I'll pick cuckoos in general as my favourite birds
As an example, these Smooth-billed Anis popped up out of the bushes to watch me pass by. Such muppets

For today's #BirdOfTheDay of a bird with three or more colours, I have a very aptly-named Tricolored Heron 👀
But also an adorable (feral) Red-Crowned Amazon being photogenic!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is our Smallest birds
By all measures that must be a hummingbird around here, so I've included an Allen's Hummingbird and a Bahama Woodstar, but may I petition for an honourable mention for the fluffy and borbular Bushtit?

I don't own a traditional bird bath for today's #BirdOfTheDay, but luckily birds are resourceful little guys!
I have found a Western Bluebird using a dog fountain, and an American Crow in a shallow creek

If we're extending past perching birds and letting wading birds join in, these adorable Sanderlings run with the waves everyday on the beach

Caught some pictures of what I assume are the parasitic parents hanging around nearby. Part of the gape structure is visible at the corner of the fledglings' mouths. I've read that the chicks can mimic the gape appearance of their hosts (2/2)

Okay this was a fun day. I saw some of the ever-photogenic Scaly-breasted Munia with some fledglings following them around begging for food, so I assumed they were Munia fledglings at the time. Turns out the younglings are brood parasites instead, Pin-Tailed Whydahs (1/2)
