The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is a fun one, #WingsOpenNotFlying. I have a few for this theme, will go with this photo of a male Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata) this time.

Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social is at the helm of #BirdOfTheDay today, with the themes of #WingsOpenNotFlying and #Blue

Our avian friends have been less than performative of late, so here's one of Kiwanis' roost building egrets back in the spring, bush walking.

Great egret wandering across scrubby brush looking for twigs, wings opened wide from time to time as it does so. Taken at Kiwanis Lake in York, PA back in the spring; with blurred trees behind

#Blue #WingsOpenNotFlying not open, barely blue

A rafter of turkeys in the woods near Laguna Lake, 2020, clustered on a path overseen by single turkey perched on a nearby branch.
No open wing in sight, and barely blue-ish.

"Get away from me" said the parent to its youngster. It had #wingsopennotflying, but the young one kept pestering it for food. #BirdoftheDay

A secondary contribution for #WingsOpenNotFlying #BirdOfTheDay: this Great blue heron wants to sell you some dodgy watches it's got stashed under its trench coat.

A grey heron faces the photographer with its wings folded open to its sides, showing a shaggy looking midriff.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying and this guillemot (zeekoet) coming ashore is a nice example of that. With the proportion of body size to wing surface it's a bit of a miracle these birds can still fly! #birds

A guillemot coming ashore, standing upright on some rocks as it flaps its wings to dry off. The bird is black and white, and facing us its bulky white torso stands out. Half of the birds head, including the chin and the side of the head, as well as most of the downy looking under wing are also white - in other words, all the parts of the bird that would be facing the water when swimming. The back and upper parts of the bird, as well as the legs and bill, are black.

Rob's #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with their wings open when not flying. Here is a very happy Trumpeter swan named SusieQ returning back to her pond after recovering from injuries to her wings. She had a full recovery. #Birds #swan #nature #birdphotography #Canada

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme today of #WingsOpenNotFlying, a classic crucifix pose Anhinga drying its wings.
