For the #birdoftheday theme, #collectingfood, I chose this killdeer playing Tug of War with a worm and a gull figuring out how to open this shell. Both taken yesterday at the White Rock Pier in British Columbia. #birds #birdphotography

This raven was certainly #CollectingFood earlier this week around Tuzigoot National Monument in #Arizona for today's #BirdOfTheDay, but I'm not eager to find out what it is.

Song Sparrow with berry mash all over his beak. Can birds lick their beaks clean, or is this a reason why they wipe them on things?
Head shot of a bird with alternating brown and white stripes from the top of his head to his chin. His small sharply pointed beak is covered with bits of purple berry skins.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood, birds with food in their beaks.

I have so many of this type of shot. Here's a few you don't see every day. I may seem a bit awful, but this is what they eat some of the time when the opportunity presents itself. Cranes love protein.

A parent Sandhill Crane caught a vole and gave it to it's colt for a high protein meal. A Whooping Crane catches a frog for lunch. A Sandhill Crane is skinning a vole before eating it. A Sandhill Crane eating an earthworm. Worms are a very common meal for the Sandhill Crane.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood, birds with food in their beaks. Fitting the bill (pun intended) is this Crimson Shining-Parrot from the island of Kadavu in Fiji, one of just two small islands in the world where this near-threatened bird can be found. 🪶
Crimson Shining-Parrot - a spectacular long-tailed parrot with brilliant red underparts and head, a blue hindneck collar, and green back and wings - chomping on some garden fruit.

Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social said today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #CollectingFood, birds with food in their beaks. Even though a #BaldEagle and #Osprey don't use beaks to collect food, it's in beaks for the photos, along w/an #EasternBluebird. #birds #wildlife #EastCoastKin #nikon #nature #photography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme #CollectingFood seems to have been the theme for the last several posts in this #PlumeScrolling thread! So let's continue it with this Marsh Tit, clutching a large Sunflower seed, at Brandon Marsh today. #Birds #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin #BirdPhotography 🌿
Photo of a Marsh Tit (Poecile palustris) perched on the top rail of a wooden fence, on which a peanut and a few Sunflower seed hearts or kernals have been placed. The bird is facing towards the right side of the picture, and he or she has a sunflower seed heart held in their beak. Tits are part of a family of birds which in North America are known as Titmice or Chickadees. Like other Tits, the Marsh Tit is a small bird. The top half of the head, the eyes, the short beak, and a small patch on the throat are all black. Each side of the face below the eye is white, the chest is whitish and the rest of the underparts are a pale buff colour. The back, wings, and the relatively short tail are mostly various shades of brown, or grey. The legs and feet are grey.

Whoops, I guess it was actually #CollectingFood, not #GatheringFood 😀

The same anhinga has tossed the fish into the air and is getting ready to catch it and eat it. The same bit of lake grass is still wrapped around the beak.

The monk parakeets on the #CostaBlanca were being fed. They're an invasive species that's also being captured. I made a video of these adorable birds on www.petersprinciple.nl
