It was a very grey day. And I felt like the company I was in did not much appreciate me. The photo is also very grey. There in a single frame is - a grey ghost (a Northern harrier) flying in from the left, and near the center of the frame is a lovely white-and-grey kite perched on a bushy but bare bush atop a drab green hillock. In the background are waves of drab green grass interspersed with barren grey ground below a blotchy grey sky. And yet. A harrier! A kite! Doing what they do best. Eating up the landscape.

Sat in a hide after work this afternoon. Bar a few ducks and a Long-tailed tit, this was pretty much the only other bird I saw.

Whenever we see a gorgeously feathered white bird poking around the tidepools here, it's either a great egret or a snowy egret. If it's a photo from a while ago and we don't see an additional gorgeously feathered white bird of a different size, well for me it's hard to tell what kind of bird I'm looking at. UNLESS I can see the bird's feet. Because if the feet are yellow, that bird is a fan of yellow SNOW (ew. I know. right?) and so then we know that even though there is never snow around here, not to mention yellow snow, that bird with the yellow feet is a SNOWY egret. This one is showing us both of its yellow feet, and its toes are splayed out on the dark rock upon which it is standing. Also, it is showing us the fish it is eating for lunch.And this gorgeously feathered white bird is doing some kind of a joyous dance. Its wings are spread and its yellow feet are up in the air a little. Perhaps it's just coming in for a landing, but it looks like a dance for me. These were both taken on one of those days at Mavericks where everything was as it should be. We are not getting many of those lately.

Wood duck reflecting at Neary Lagoon

#OTD 10/07/2016 #birding #birdsOfMastodon #birds #aBirdAday (or more)

I have not had many opportunities to photograph wood ducks; am grateful that I got to see this one, as well as his lovely reflection, at Neary Lagoon. He was swimming by with the female, his mate, I assume. The male is a striking, deep-blue-colored duck with an oval patch of gold outlined with elegant white slashes at its midsection. His beak is a bright deep orange, with a white slash and a black tip. His eye is bright red. He's got white slashes around his neck and pointing up to his eye. The reflection in the water shows all these as well as the weeds we don't see in the frame.

Acorn woodpecker all upside down at the food bank

In the photo we see the substantial trunk of a bare tree and two of its thick branches, all three pockmarked with a huge number of storage holes for acorns. At the very bottom left of the photograph, we see a little male acorn woodpecker, upside down, attached to one of the branches. We know that it is male because it is wearing a bright red cap.

Cormorants silhouetted

https://www.flickr.com/photos/armadillosoft/10111611553/in/album-72157636236804724/

#OTD 10/5/2013 #birding #birdsOfMastodon #birds #aBirdAday (or more)

We see cormorants pretty much every time we go to Mavericks. They are not showy birds. When they fly, it looks like they are working hard to make progress. Their wings move slowly up and down. Their plump bodies move forward jerkily. In this photo, we see two cormorants in flight. Their bodies are silhouetted against the darkening sky. Their wings are blurred because at the time, I did not have a fancy camera and my camera too had to work hard to deal with the darkening sky.

Scrubjay posing

#OTD 10/4/2025 #birding #birdsOfMastodon #birds #aBirdAday (or more)

The scrubjay in the photo is looking right at me from its left eye. Its beak is facing to the left. It has a beautiful sky-blue head, wears a small (Zero-style), dark-blue mask over its eye, has a dashing white eyebrow, white chest mottled with a little blue, and a white tail tipped with blue. The bird is wedged between two thin, light-colored twigs and is holding on to them, one claw wrapped around each twig. The bird is leaning against the twig that curves up and away from the bird's left side. The other twig is curving away from the bird's right side and intersects with a third elegantly curved twig. A thin, branching branch is leaning in toward the bird from the left side. A very pale blue sky forms the background.

Good morning to all, but most especially to this pair of northern flickers doing a courtship dance in my neighbor’s tree, and the mockingbird who came over to see what all the fuss was about.

#Pittsbirds #backyardbirding #birds #birdsofmastodon

Two roughly American-robin-sized northern flickers sit in a tree, partially obscured by twigs. They both have brown-and-black striped backs, black-spotted undersides, black bibs, buff faces, and red caps.A ruffled northern mockingbird sits on a branch to the left of one of the northern flickers from the previous shot. It seems very intent about something, while the flicker seems mostly unconcerned.

Snapped this chaffinch mid-strut.
He looks so dynamic with the slight motion blur around his head.
This bird got things to do, get out of his way, he got places to be.

A chaffinch is strutting across some concrete. It's not a great pic but I liked it for the motion.
