The alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay today is #FightingFeathers. Here is a once in a birders lifetime shot I took when I went looking to find Cuckoos at The Stiperstones in South Shropshire #birds #thegardenjungle #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #shropshire #UKwildlife #birdphotography #canon

Wouldn’t you rather be a blonde? 😉 A blonde mallard hen with lovely brown feather patterning for #BirdOfTheDay #BrownBirds. Her lighter color could be from leucism or from domestic cross breeding. Considered to be a disadvantage, as the lighter color may make her easier for predators to spot. 📷🪶🦆

A very simple iPhone snap for #OrangeSun, a view across my yard with the sun shining and my spirit soaring. It is so good to have maples in the yard, though the tall cottonwood trees do a nice back up with their fading gold. #Fall #Trees #PNW 📷🍁🍂

#ColorADay #GreenSat A Columbia White-tailed Deer enjoying some marsh munchies. Water pennywort (Hydrocotyle ranunculoides, also known as floating marsh pennywort) is said to be deer resistant…? I do like the moss adornment at the base of his antlers 👍🦌 #RidgefieldNWR #PNW 📷🦊🌿

#FlyDay #Inverts #Bees A wild hive of what appear to be honeybees about 20 to 25 feet up in a tree. Zooming in, it appears that those combs are capped and likely contain honey. Still not sure if they can make it through a cold winter exposed like this. #ForestFriday 📷🐝🍯

#BirdOfTheDay #Seasonal Anna’s Hummingbirds will overwinter here in the Pacific Northwest, though only in recent years here in SW WA. A photo from last October when the Japanese maple was flaming. #PNW 📷🪶🍁
