From Helen Bennett today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdsInAbstract -unusual interpretations of birds.
No Alt theme today.

A simple silhouette of an osprey against a cloudy sky that heralds impending storms.

Black swans swimming across the Altona Beach side of Port Phillip Bay, for #BirdoftheDay's theme #BirdsInAbstract.

And a family of spoonbills wading a shallow inlet near the bay, fishing for dinner at sunset.

Black swans swimming in shallow waters of Port Phillip Bay, beneath a white cloudy sky.

Four spoonbills sweep an inlet four dinner, wading along, the pale pinks and blues of the sunset sky above the headland and sea reflected in the inlet behind them.

"Cam-owl-flage"

Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) peering out from a fir tree at Grimbister, #Orkney.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdsInAbstract; from motion blur, obscure angles, or contrasting textures, anything goes!

I posted this pic before, but this blur of goldfinches just fits too well Helen's #BirdOfTheDay theme today, #BirdsInAbstract (from motion blur, obscure angles, or contrasting textures, anything goes).

#BirdsInAbstract for #BirdoftheDay theme
I'm going with motion blur. This is an orange-crowned warbler taking off last month at #HuntingtonCentralParkEast. Have a good day! #Birds #Nature #Photography

This photo shows some green and red leaves throughout an overly exposed, almost whitewash shot. In the back we see a yellow warbler flying right to left with his/her wings extended downward. The bird is almost in silhouette with the backlighting and the light comes through with wings making them look translucent. Her head is pitched upward as it looks for an escape.

A whirl of chickadee approaching warp speed.

📷🪶

A black cap chickadee flies away from the nodding head of a sun flower, with a prized seed clutched in its bill. Wing and tail feathers are fanned out artfully against a chain-link fence and a green and gold background.

Two sparrows on the roof. #Monochrome #bnw #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsInAbstract

#Undulating

An abstract, minimalist black and white composition focusing on sharp geometric angles. A stark, light triangular wall cuts through the frame, bordered by a dark, textured tiled roof slanting diagonally against a seamless white background. Perched subtly on the roof's ridge, two sparrows add an organic element to the clean, graphic lines.

Extreme closeup of a gull’s reflection in dark shallow water. The reflection distorted by the ripples caused by the movement of its legs and the incoming tide.

Here’s one of our old chickens getting into a spin.

For the #BirdsInAbstract theme for #BirdOfTheDay I’m posting this Pigeon. I am really excited about the twinkle in the eye from the setting sun ✨ #Birds 🪶

Bit of an odd one for #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsInAbstract. It's a black-and-white photo of a bird's nest, with a curled leaf in the nest that looks somewhat like a hungry baby bird.
