Helen's #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme yesterday was #AwkwardAvian (I don't play when the host chooses Paridae - it's not in Australia)

Here's a cockie being loud, rambunctious & awkward. Much like me.

Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita), St Lucia And I'm perfectly aware no one gives a flying fuck that I get shitty when they persist in choosing a species that doesn't exist here. Some times, especially in these times, maybe principles are worth keeping.

For #BirdOfTheDay theme #Bokehbirds, a little black-chinned hummingbird who might also be an #AwkwardAvian.

A hummingbird with white scalloped chin feathers, grayish belly, gray outstreched wing, and bill pointed toward the sky perches on a fence wire with a blurred backgroudn of green, pink, and white that's streaked by water droplets from a sprinkler.

For the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme, #AwkwardAvian, a preening goose

@helenbennett.bsky.social's chosen theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background. The Alt theme is #AwkwardAvian - any bird captured in a silly, clumsy or strange position! #Birds #Nuthatch #ECK #Bokeh #NaturePhotography

A white-breasted nuthatch is a small, mostly blue and white bird, with a white face, throat, and breast and a russet belly. It has blue/gray wings and a midnight blue cap that begins at its dark beak and ends at its nape. The nuthatch's head is upturned toward the left as it grasps a curved branch of a water oak tree with dark green leaves surrounding it. A bokeh of green, gold, and blue fills the frame.

This Egret sure looks like
a #AwkwardAvian during his take off maneuver but it is actually very efficient.

I'm a bit late but today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme #AwkwardAvian - any bird captured in a silly, clumsy or strange position!

Not a great picture technically but illustrates how agile a Red Kite is, banking hard at speed, head turned 90 degrees to keep everything aligned and fully focussed.

A Red Kite against a bright blue sky, tilted at around 45 degrees in a banking dive, wings in the upward position about to make a down beat, tail extended and flared to assist in the tight turn.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background, like this lovely Long-Tailed Tit.
Bonus points for any bokeh balls! ☺️🪶📷️

For post #17 in this #birds thread, and for today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #AwkwardAvian, here is a Little Egret (photographed at Brandon Marsh on Saturday) who appears to walking – or maybe even dancing – on water. Loving that green footwear! #NaturePhotography #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin 🌿

Photo of a Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) who appears to be walking, or maybe even dancing, across the surface of some shallow water next to a shoreline covered with low vegetation. The bird is heading towards the right, with wings raised, neck curved in an 'S' shape, right leg out of the water, and left foot on the surface of the water. The Little Egret is one of the smaller members of the heron family, and has a long bill, neck, and legs but a short tail. Its plumage is white, its eye is pale with a black pupil and rim, is beak is black, and the legs are also black, but the feet are a pale green colour.

A young male Costa's hummingbird perched on a twig in a grapefruit tree. His bottom, tail feathers, and right wing are up as he relieves himself. He is a mottled green, white, and black. His rump looks like 2 cotton balls with a black stripe separating them. In the background are white circles of light (bokeh).

I did spot an awkward avalan this morning, which is the alt theme for bird of the day.

Female cardinal convinced she could hide if she moved just a bit.

How about another twofer for today's #BirdOfTheDay #AwkwardAvian & #BokehBird with this greedy Steller's Jay taking 2 whole peanuts?

May your day be filled with peace. ✌

I’ve posted this one a number of times, but it has to be my go-to for today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme #AwkwardAvian. At first glance, it looks like a crab wearing a bird costume on the moon.
