The temperature is supposed to get down to freezing tonight and look who shows up today. The "Winter is coming" bird.
I guess the #Dark-EyedJunco are back until April.

Friday is #Flyday so here's a #unknown, flying away from me at a great distance.
Northern Harrier?
Merlin says its a Broad-winged hawk. I have no idea. 🤷‍♂️ Anyone know?

Juvenile Gray Catbird perched on a diagonal branch, photographed from below against a pale, overcast sky. The bird faces right with its head slightly raised. Its plumage is soft and fluffy, a muted gray-brown, with a faint darker cap. It has a dark eye, a slim dark bill, and a pale yellowish gape line along the base of the bill. Its dark wing and long dark tail are visible behind the body. Yellow-green leaves with brown blotches surround the branch. Johnston, Iowa, June 2026.

Juvenile herring gull with mottled brown plumage stands in wet sand on a beach with two bunches of seaweed on its right side. The bird is shown in front left quartering view with its head down, as if dejected, and its back to the ocean, which is seen as gentle surf in the upper part of the frame. Wet sand beach forms the rest of the backdrop.

A gray/god minivan travels down a boulevard, slowing for a group of Canada Geese crossing the road in front of the vehicle. There are more than a dozen geese, crossing from left to right in the frame. The furthest along are about halfway to the median on the right edge, while some are still on the left side, clearly intending to cross but also feeding on grass. The group consists mostly of adults with a few juveniles.

Here's a herring gull, performing aerial surveillance of a Rhode Island beach for anything edible.

Herring gull in flight with its wings outstretched and raised, seen from a left rear quartering view. The gray top of the right wing is clearly visible, while the left is edge-on to the camera. The bird's white body is on full display, and its head--white with some gray mottling-- is pointed down and turned to the left, searching the ground for anything it might want to eat. The background is a gray and green blur with a few orange and red highlights, a beach and forest.

Rob Crank’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage.

Here's an eastern bluebird perched on a stop sign and giving the photographer a skeptical look.

Eastern bluebird perched on a stop sign. Only the upper left corner of the sign is visible. The bird dominates the frame, sitting upright, with its body turned directly toward the camera. Its feet are visible, gripping the sign, and its head is turned and slight tilted so that only the right eye is showing. Its cream-colored underparts are visible, as its reddish breast, but its head is blue.

One mourning dove roosts on a street-light shaped sensor with the word AVIGILON on it, oblivious to a second dove swooping down on it. The first dove is shown in left profile, while behind it, the second dove is shown in full frontal, with body upright and wings, tail, and feet all extended. Plain blue sky forms the background.

Female mallard flies in past three juveniles clustered together while cruising on a smooth pond. The female is shown in left profile in the frame's upper left. She's preparing to land with her head forward, body upright, wings extended and back, and feet down. The three juveniles seem to be aggressively ignoring her. The pond forms the background.

For #SquirrelSaturday, here's somebody who's bitten off more than they can chew. At least very easily.

The head, shoulders, and front paw of a fox squirrel with a reddish-gray coat dominates the frame. The squirrel is shown in right profile and is flat against a large branch. Its mouth is full of an acorn that barely fits, and its visible eye appears to be watering, possibly from the strain of gripping the nut. .

It's @helenbennett.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay today and her theme is #Green, any birds or backgrounds that have Green in them.

Here's a wild turkey emerging from the dense plants near the city greenbelt's wooded area.

📷 #CanonR7 #Tamron18-300
#photography #birdphoto #wildlife #ECK #turkeys

The photo is dominate by green grasses and broadleaf plants, some with small yellow flowers. In the lower left corner, a turkey's head pokes up out of the dense cover. The bird's body, which can't be seen through the foliage, is facing away from the camera, but the head and neck are turned to the bird's right, so those features are shown in profile, showing off its red wattle.
