Throwing Shade

While diving birds spread their #WingsOpenNotFlying to dry them, waders, like this Snowy Egret, sometimes use their large wings to block glare, so they can see prey underwater.

Captured this beauty September 4, at Lake Viridian in Arlington, Texas.

Sun's out, guns out 🪶

#BirdOfTheDay #WingsOpenNotFlying

A double-crested cormorant on a bare branch. It is a black bird about 2 1/2 feet tall, and it's wings are out to catch some sun rays, as if it is flexing. The sky a a uniform blue, and the branch the bird is on, and also one in the foreground, have no leaves on them at all.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying.

I pick this robin and this ring billed gull!

Happy #WingsOpenNotFlying day! This long-billed curlew decided to open his/her wings for me while feeding along the sandy shore. The underwing cinnamon coloring helps distinguish this bird from the Eurasian whimbrel. #BirdoftheDay #Birds #Photography #Nature

Seen in the morning light, we have a curlew with the tip of the long, decurved bill in the watery shoreline digging for food. The bird is tan and brown in coloring and has his/her wings extened overhead momentarily. We get an excellent view of the cinnamon colored underwings. The background is placid, blue/gray lagoon waters.

@robcrank68.bsky.social said "Good morning folks. Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying. The Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage."
This should tick the box for both themes.

A cormorant spreads its wings while standing on the corner of an old floating dock that looks like it is about to sink.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying.
The Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage.

These two were going at each other!
