Brown pelicans were flying up the coast in a few of the places along Highway 1 that we stopped at yesterday.

Atlantic Birding’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt. theme is #Borbs; any bird that looks round, chubby, spherical etc.

Here's a female red-winged blackbird taken at the end of July, going full borb mode to escape the heat.

A female red-winged black bird stands in mowed grass. Shown in right profile, she's fluffed her feathers out completely, making her look like a mottled brown and white ball with a tail and head. She's most likely trying to cool off on a day that was well above 90F.

Here's great blue heron doing a fancy little step on a sandbar in the Des Moines River.

A great blue heron standing amid rocks on the edge of a river is shown in a left rear quartering view. The bird's grayish-blue body feathers are ruffled by the wind, its gray and white head is held high and tilted upward. Its left foot is raised, with its digits splayed out and searching for the next place to step.

Three ducks sitting on water in golden light. Furthest back, and looking at the camera, is the adult female. In the foreground, two juveniles are feeding on pondweed. The closest one has their beak in the water, while the one just beyond has pondweed in their raised beak.

Mourning dove perches on a suet feeder. The bird is on top of the feeder, and shown in left profile. They are bending down to look at the suet cage, as if trying to figure out how to get at the food but not quite sure how to do it.

For #SquirrelSaturday, here's a "squirrel in flight." The grass got away from our park maintenance folks during a series of rainy days, resulting in grass long enough the squirrels had to jump over it.

A fox squirrel captured in mid-leap over a field of lawn grass. The squirrel is shown in left profile, just slightly toward front left quartering. They are stretched out by their jump, front feet together, nearly touching, and back feet and tail extended behind them.

Alan H’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Grounded, any bird on natural ground.

One of my quixotic season-long quests has been to catch a turkey vulture on the ground. Two weeks ago, I succeeded.

A standing turkey vulture dominates the frame, shown in right rear quartering view. Its wings are folded, showing off its black and brown mottling, and its featherless red head is clearly visible in the upper right corner of the frame. The bird is surrounded by a mix of green and dry grass, while blurred-out green bushes from the far background.

Alan H’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #InFlight, any bird in flight.

Here's an American Crow, flying while in mid-molt.

American crow in flight, shown in left rear quartering view from slightly below. The bird's wings are fully spread, showing how messy the feathers are, with holes and missing feathers in the wings, and a general tangle on the body.

Atlantic Birding’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Thrushes; any bird from the thrush family.

Today I learned American Robins are members of the thrush family, which made BOD much easier for me than I expected.

An American Robin with its body facing the camera while perched on a branch dominates the frame. The bird's red breast fills more than half the space, which their black head is turned to their right, showing right eye and yellow beak.
@dougengstrom.bsky.socialSep 3, 2026, 6:43 AM

Atlantic Birding’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Contrast; light birds against dark backgrounds or vice versa.

An adult ring-billed gull is featured in the lower part of the frame. The bird is in flight with its wings raised, showing off its white body, light gray wing tops, and nearly black wingtips. Out of focus bushy vegetation forms the background.
