Since this is our first time having our own garden,
I set up a small feeding station for the winter to help the animals here and to give our cats 🐈 something to watch on the windowsill

Photo aux tons bleutés. Un goéland solitaire s'envole sur l'eau. Au loin, une ligne de rochers sombres. Puis en haut, le ciel, les nuages.

An "Ostentation" of Peacocks and Peahens
It's lovely to see the males stating to get their long showy tail feathers back after the summer moult.

there's a lot of #birds I have the #least photos of, one of them being the Red Eyed Glossy Starling from the island of Boracay in the Philippines

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

Among all the birds I photograph in my backyard and in nearby woods and wildlife sanctuaries, the one I’d like to see more, but shows up the #least is the rose-breasted grosbeak. #birds #BirdOfTheDay #grosbeak #nature #birdphotography 🪶
A rose-breasted grosbeak sticks its head out from behind a green bird feeder, facing left. From the feeder, you see its white chest with its bright red breast. It’s neck and head are solid black, while it’s tan beak has a sunflower seed in it. The photo was taken in Walpole MA USA

#RainyDayBirds is the alternative #BirdoftheDay selection from Alan and Rob. Here’s a Great Kiskadee suffering a storm. Cheers!

#birdoftheday is the one I have the least of in my camera… I have only one Flame-Colored Tanager pic, taken yesterday in Costa Rica.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #least, meaning a bird you don’t see very much. It’s always a treat for me to see a #NorthernFlicker. Merlin tells me they’re here far more often than I spot them.

Today’s BotD theme is least - the bird you’ve got the least captures of. The alt is rainy day birds. I’m doing one of each. The first is the one and only shot of a hobby, the second is a lesser scaup at London Wetlands not bothered by the raindrops

#LondonBirds #BirdOfTheDay #Birds
A photograph of a hobby against a clear sky. It’s a smaller bird of prey with mottled black and white wing feathers and a white face with black markings. A photograph of a lesser scaup on the water. His chest, neck and face are black, he has some grey wing feathers and white flanks. His eyes are golden-orange and his beak a steel grey. There are rain drops landing on the lake and he’s got some water droplets on his head.

This is the only time I’ve ever seen a merganser. It popped out of the water and I quickly snapped this one. #birdoftheday #least #merganserduck

Now that I'm home from work, I remembered that I have one more good #BirdOfTheDay for the #least category.

As much as I'm out in nature, and as many pictures as I take, I've very rarely captured images of #owls.

This Barred Owl at a park in San Antonio one morning was a rare exception.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #least and this means the bird in your camera roll that you have the least captures of. This is the only picture I have of a Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) at the Safari Park in Winston.

Great Spotted Woodpecker exit right. It had perched perfectly for a minute before I raised the camera. 😉

Five (!) years ago this month, a large flock of Evening Grosbeaks descended on our feeders, ate everything they could, and took off, never to be seen again. The one and only time I've ever seen them. It was magical.

#BirdOfTheDay #least #birds #birding #nature #photography
A sunlit bright yellow bird with a large, yellow, conical beak, a bright yellow eye stripe on his dark gray to black head, white wings tipped in black, and a black tail perches on a thin twig with his back to the camera and his head turned to the right against a mottled green and brown background. The sun glints off his black eye, and the downward curve gives him a frowning, imperious look. But, boy oh boy, is he beautiful!

This was a once only opportunity for me - I've one other photo of the male upland goose alone, but not next to the brown female as here. For #BirdOfTheDay #Least photographed. Seen on eastern side of Andes, Argentina. Such dimorphism ...in a goose! #birds
A pair of upland geese, seen by the roadside on desolate grassland in Argentina approaching the Andes. The terrain is in a rain shadow, and covered mainly by tussocky yellow-grey grass, used to little water. They were some distance away, and very clearly a pair. Both looking right. The female is mostly soft two-tone brown, while the male is an easier spot having a beautiful white neck and chest, with fine black/white barring on his back and sides. Both have neat black beaks and dark eyes.

Snowy Owl in Ocean Shores, WA
#BirdoftheDay #least #birds
#owls #nature #photography
Some winters, Snowy Owls come down from the arctic to the coast of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Getting to them was a 4-mile hike through sand on a very cold, very rainy day, and so worth every step!
A Snowy Owl is perched on a large driftwood log surrounded by dried grass. The owl is white with brown speckles and bright yellow eyes. The owl is looking right into the camera, as if he's wondering why I'm grinning at him.

The American Bittern is a bird that I have on only one day several summers ago the opportunity to photograph. They are usually well hidden amongst the reeds.

Common Loon
#BirdOfTheDay #Least
This is the one and only Loon picture I have ever taken. I was looking at the water and it popped up in front of me. I took a couple snaps and it popped away.
