- Reposted by AvianWIPer Rob, today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Groups, groups of 4 or more birds (can be different species). The Alternative theme is #Pigeons A Pectoral Sandpiper in the middle of a group of Long-billed Dowitchers--safety in numbers! Also works for #WaderWednesday! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
- Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #groups, and I can think of few birds that are more impressive in a group than pelicans. Even more so when they show off while feeding! #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography 🪶
- For #BirdOfTheDay, Trumpeter Swans make rather impressive #splashes when they land. #EastCoastKin #naturephotography 🪶

- Reposted by AvianWIBeautiful as the image is, there is no tree of life. The shape of biodiversity is more like a chaotic blanket, individual threads splitting, being snipped off, branching again, creating an incredible tangle of species that are both discrete and connected. ~Riley Black #BlueSkyMonday #BirdOfTheDay 🪶

- The pokeweed berries have also been late here in WI this year, providing food for some of our latest migrating birds. Here's a Yellow-rumped Warbler enjoying a few of the (toxic to people!) berries on a recent dreary fall day. 🪶 #NaturePhotography
- The birds don’t seem to have found this fruit yet. Presumably because nobody expects pokeweed berries in November in PA! #NativePlants 🌿

[This post could not be retrieved] - Reposted by AvianWII'm going with the alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme today of #posts - a magnificent Turkey Vulture perched on a fence post. His wing span was more than 6 feet! I always think of them as being black but the sun really shows off the color variations in his feathers. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

- Sometimes you just want to hit your head on a branch and scream... (Blackpoll Warbler, probably not as angry as he looks) #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin #birds
- The #BirdoftheDay today is birds on the #ground, and we often get large mixed flocks of sparrows foraging on the ground during fall migration. This handsome guy is a juvenile White-crowned Sparrow, looking very sharp in the grass. 🪶
- I'm late to #BirdOftheDay today, but the theme is #least, as in the bird you have the fewest photos of. I'm not sure which bird is the absolute least for me, but I'm choosing the Golden-winged Warbler, because it is both difficult to find and to photograph. I found this lovely lady last spring. 🪶
