A Cooper's hawk stands #OnOneLeg and makes a tiny fist for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme.

I shot this fine fellow on our fence yesterday morning and, as luck would have it, today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BrownBirds.

Welcome, new friends, and thank you to @itsjessigrace.bsky.social for including me in your Positive Vibes starter pack. Birds with names beginning with #LMNO is today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. Here's a loggerhead shrike, seemingly checking out its talons.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Juveniles, a young Allen's hummingbird shouting for food.

Today's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Seasonal. The red-breasted nuthatch is seasonal. Most of the trees here, on the other hand, don't GAF what season it is.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is any bird with #Black&White plumage. So here's a black-throated gray warbler.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is any bird with a #brown background. This fledgling red-tailed hawk fits the bill.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #pairs: any pair of same/mixed birds. The odd couple.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is any member of the #Turdidae family. The mountain bluebird, for instance.

Going with the alt theme for today’s #BirdOfTheDay with a mockingbird at #dusk.

My thoughts are with you, @robcrank68.bsky.social. Sorry for your loss. Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Paridae. The mountain chickadees are still hanging around here.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #JKLM - species beginning with those letters. When the juncos arrive, winter is not far behind. It's currently 45°F here in the sunny high desert of Southern California.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoreBirds. Here's an American avocet in a runoff pond in the Mojave desert.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #LookingUp

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #LookingDown

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Brown. A couple of Brewer's blackbirds have been coming around recently. The females are very brown.

The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Pigeons&Doves, so here's that time a white-winged dove paid us a visit.

It's #SmallBirdSaturday and this mountain #chickadee, with a sunflower seed between its feet, was wondering why I was sneaking up on it this morning.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Green, which gives me an excuse to post this shot of an Anna's hummingbird from last week.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNeon

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme, #GardenBirds, has different meanings for different environments. Here's a scene from our front "garden" (we have a handful of trees and no grass) from late yesterday afternoon. Hoppy the raven is on the left, Not-Hoppy on the right.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is a twofer. For #crooners, a mockingbird singing early this morning, and for the alt theme, a mountain chickadee #eating early yesterday morning.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #perched, birds standing on anything except branches. A young Cooper's hawk on our ancient chain link fence.

Hey, it's #twosday! Which is good timing, because a brace of California quails hung out yesterday afternoon right outside my home office window. I didn't need to leave my seat to take a photo.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdSupermodel.

It's #WeekNforNeon at the #AlphabetChallenge. Nottingham, UK, 2017

Here's a black phoebe doing its flycatcher thing for today's #BirdOfTheDay challenge to post a bird against #BlueSkies, something that's possible for about 280 days a year here in the high Mojave desert.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying. I don't remember if this black phoebe was about to take off or was just stretching.

I almost always forget about #SmallBirdSaturday. Here's one of our resident verdins.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Black&Red, a red-naped sapsucker.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestBeaks

#Black&White is today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, so here's a mountain chickadee pulling a seed from a pinecone. By coincidence, I also have a couple of photos in Black & White 2026, a virtual exhibition that launched today: www.hummingbirddragonflyartgallery.com/featured-exh...

The #BirdOfTheDay assignment is #BestOfTheMonth. I can never pick a best, so here's one I didn't have a chance to post previously. The white-breated nuthatches arrived earlier this month and have been quietly honking away in the background ever since.

Done harvesting #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMachinery

Just in time for #Twosday, I caught Hoppy (on the right; dodgy right foot) and Not-Hoppy a couple of mornings ago hanging out on an old eucalyptus tree stump I put out in the yard. #raven #birds #wildlifephotography

I'm going with the alt theme of #Paridae for today's #BirdOfTheDay because I recently had my first sighting in the nine years we've lived in this house of a mountain chickadee, grabbing sunflower seeds from one of our feeders, and I managed to get some decent photos.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #AwkwardAvian and I took just such a shot of a young Cooper's hawk only last week.

The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Airborne. Perhaps this Eurasian collared dove was flying around in search of its missing feathers.

It's #SquirrelSaturday, so here's a California ground squirrel grabbing a quick bedtime snack in our backyard before the sun sets.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Pairs, two mourning doves showing off their blue eyeshadow.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borbs. Here's a floofed-up young Cooper's hawk on an early winter morning.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdStare. This raven was keeping an eye on me and making sure I didn't try to steal its day-old dead ground squirrel.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay? #Raptors. I caught this young Cooper's hawk launching off the tree in our front yard on Sunday.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Redheads, and here's the prettiest of them all.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #lightandshadow, a black-chinned hummingbird.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #CaptionThatBird. I shot this red-tailed hawk in our front yard yesterday. It had a full crop and blood on its face, so some unfortunate animal had a bad day. "Nice hors-d'oeuvres. What's next?"

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Scruffy, so here's a shabby little hummingbird with its feathers all awry.

The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme today is #Pigeons&Doves.
