Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Mamas&Papas, so here's an osprey pair I saw on their nest out at the wetlands.

Two ospreys sit on a nest of large sticks and spanish moss, both looking to the right. The one on the left appears to be the female and the one on the right is the male (according to google lens). Background is clear blue sky and entire bottom of the frame is nest.

This has been up before, but do love this picture of Gadwall at Figgate Park.

A bunch of Canadian Geese on an expanse of grass. Most are checking for tidbits in the grass, but one has its head up, apparently as the lookout.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Mamas&Papas, male & female of the same species in the same photo. These are Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. Aren't they both so beautiful, each in their own unique way?

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of s #Mamas&Papas, I offer these Magnificent Frigatebirds (Fregata magnificens) in full mating colors. They are massive, but lightweight seabirds famous for their 7 to 8-foot wingspan & their habit of stealing food from other birds. We saw this pair in the Galapagos.

Photo of 2 large, mostly black birds flying overhead with blue sky in the background. One bird has a red throat and the other has a whitish throat.

Rob's #birdoftheday is #mamas&papas, male & female of a species together. I hope it's okay to enlarge on that a bit, a long while ago I saw an astonishing example of parent birds protecting their young & want to share what I saw that day. First the pic : (1/x please see comments)

An Indian Runner drake (male) and a white Indian Runner hen (female) swimming together in blue water. In the foreground, the solid white female duck swims to the left, showing a straight, pointed tail and a yellowish beak. Just behind her, the trout-colored male duck swims in the same direction, distinguished by his dark green head, brownish-grey body plumage, and a prominent, upward-curled drake feather on his tail.

I decided to post another photo for Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Mamas&Papas. This is from Mar.28, 2026, when a Pacific Great Blue Heron couple was preparing to become parents at their chosen nesting spot in a new rookery. #birds #photography #ECK
