Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Waders. This young #GreatBlueHeron has been hanging out in one of my favourite spots a lot lately. Here, it is deeply surprised by its own neck.

A young Great Blue Heron preens its neck feathers, its one visible eye so wide open that it looks surprised to be doing so.

Here's a Purple Heron at Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park in Pranburi, Thailand. A fit for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Waders, any wading bird, set by @atlanticbirding.bsky.social.

The Friday feeling in full effect here, looking forward to the weekend.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is in the hands of @atlanticbirding.bsky.social, and for their #Waders selection, here's a Great Blue Heron balletically paddling at Lake Marburg's Black Rock Flats.

#Birds #ECK #FlyDay

Great Blue Heron wading on the shore of Lake Marburg's Black Rock Flats; standing out from the largely featureless sandy shoreline and green hued waters.

I don't get down there enough, the roads are a pain, but Lake Marburg is the centerpiece of Codorus State Park on the southern edge of York County, PA

The snipe's flight is hard to follow (and photograph), as it zigzags in different directions and follows an unpredictable path, which gave rise to the other, by now less familiar saying, "drunk as a snipe" ("dronken als een snip/als een bezopen snip"). #Waders #BirdOfTheDay #Birds

A common snipe in flight, flying away from us. Its white belly is revealed, as well as the stripey pattern under its armpits. It head is light brown with darker brown stripes.

A common snipe (watersnip) photographed through a gap in the vegetation as it forages on a fen - I always love the reflections there.

In Dutch, the snipe's often muddy bill gave us the saying "having a cold like a snipe" (snipverkouden). #Waders #BirdOfTheDay #Birds

A common snipe seen through the foliage as it forages on a fen left with only a thin layer of water. Its bill disappears into the water. The bird is mirrored in a perfect reflection, but the water is otherwise filled with sticks and small emerging patterns of mud. Much of the water is entirely green through reflections of nearby vegetation, giving the image a multilayered quality.

A great egret (in West Hampton, NY) - or is it two? - for the #birdoftheday theme of #waders

This great blue heron is one of the #waders letting me know what it thinks of me and my stupid removable eye beak #BirdOfTheDay #bird #wildlife #nature #photography #ProtectNature

Regimen fascisticum delenda est!

🪶 Here's a spotted sandpiper, not wading but frowning (at me, as I take a picture of it). 📸

Distinctive large shorebird with a long, thin, upturned bill. Bold black-and-white wings and long blue-gray legs.

A successful hunt for this great egret during the golden hour.

A close up of a great egret, its orange bill open with a recent catch. Shot just before sunset, the bird is heavily shadowed and the background water is reddish.

I hadn't expected to see this chestnut-sided warbler as one of the #Waders but it remarked, "If you want to eat and drink, you gotta do what you gotta do!"

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Waders; any wading bird

American white ibis wading in a drainage swale. Thr bird is facing right, displaying its gracefully curved beak. It has raised one leg to take a step. Its reflection is clearly outlined below the bird in the water. There is grassy vegetation behind the bird and at the front lower edge of the image.

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social says today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #waders - any wading bird. I think a #GreatBlueHeron qualifies. #Birds 🪶
