Cormorants silhouetted

We see cormorants pretty much every time we go to Mavericks. They are not showy birds. When they fly, it looks like they are working hard to make progress. Their wings move slowly up and down. Their plump bodies move forward jerkily. In this photo, we see two cormorants in flight. Their bodies are silhouetted against the darkening sky. Their wings are blurred because at the time, I did not have a fancy camera and my camera too had to work hard to deal with the darkening sky.

How about a #woodpecker short to cleanse your timeline?

Scrubjay posing

The scrubjay in the photo is looking right at me from its left eye. Its beak is facing to the left. It has a beautiful sky-blue head, wears a small (Zero-style), dark-blue mask over its eye, has a dashing white eyebrow, white chest mottled with a little blue, and a white tail tipped with blue. The bird is wedged between two thin, light-colored twigs and is holding on to them, one claw wrapped around each twig. The bird is leaning against the twig that curves up and away from the bird's left side. The other twig is curving away from the bird's right side and intersects with a third elegantly curved twig. A thin, branching branch is leaning in toward the bird from the left side. A very pale blue sky forms the background.

Good morning to all, but most especially to this pair of northern flickers doing a courtship dance in my neighbor’s tree, and the mockingbird who came over to see what all the fuss was about.

#Pittsbirds #backyardbirding #birds #birdsofmastodon

Two roughly American-robin-sized northern flickers sit in a tree, partially obscured by twigs. They both have brown-and-black striped backs, black-spotted undersides, black bibs, buff faces, and red caps.A ruffled northern mockingbird sits on a branch to the left of one of the northern flickers from the previous shot. It seems very intent about something, while the flicker seems mostly unconcerned.

Snapped this chaffinch mid-strut.
He looks so dynamic with the slight motion blur around his head.
This bird got things to do, get out of his way, he got places to be.

A chaffinch is strutting across some concrete. It's not a great pic but I liked it for the motion.

Just one perfect bright sparkling green hummingbird in a solid sky blue sky. Enough is as good as a feast, right?

Looking down (in a positive way) on a juvenile red-tailed hawk

At Hawk's Hill, the juvenile red-tailed hawks fly underneath you as you scan the horizon for birds. We know they are juveniles because their tails show no sign of the red coloration of adult red-tailed hawks. In this photo, we see the entire length of the top side of the bird - beak to brown head to lovely brown tail (with bright white edging), its stippled brown wings both extended and the "fingers" spread. This child is full-on riding that wind! We also see the blurry contours of the land and vegetation below.

Hummingbird sticking its tongue out (not at us)

Anna's hummingbird - probably a female - sitting on a bare patch of a bottlebrush. To the far left of the bird is a bottlebrush flower. Perhaps that is why the bird's tongue is fully extended and is arching toward the flower. We can nearly see where the tongue attaches in the inside of the bird's mouth. Behind the bird are a number of bottlebrush branches with leaves extending in many directions.

Family of sandhill cranes in Kissimmee Florida

https://www.flickr.com/photos/armadillosoft/48888550171/in/album-72157711310631881/

#OTD 9/30/2019 #birding #birdsOfMastodon #birds #aBirdAday (or more)

In the photo are 4 sandhill cranes, heads-down, feeding on grass. The bird on the right is wearing blue armbands, so I reported it to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Got this reply: "Cranes are trying to eke out a living among us in urbanized areas, so we are color-banding &/or attaching a radio-transmitter to a few throughout central Florida to help us understand how they are using developed habitats. This crane is part of our study, we banded it on 7/11/19; it’s a female & she’s missing her left eye!"
