An ‘apapane singing on a cloudy morning joins the #BirdOfTheDay #Crooners - thanks to Rob for the theme!
This female house finch has answered the call for a #BirdOfTheDay #BirdSupermodel with this strong pose. And as a member of the little brown birds, I dare say she qualifies as one of the #UnsungBirds for the twofer. Thanks to Helen for the themes!
A Hawai’i ’amakihi perched on ohi’a with, I hope, enough #BlueSkies visible through the branches beyond to qualify for #BirdOfTheDay - thanks to Atlantic Birding for the theme!
The black wings are only just visible, but I hope it’s enough #Red&Black for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. This ‘apapane is showing plenty of its red feathers! Thanks to Alan for the theme and to Rob for posting it.
I was intrigued by the shapes surrounding this ‘apapane as it perched in koa, which produced this soft #Black&White image and is my offering for #BirdOfTheDay - thanks to Atlantic Birding for the theme!
We have it on good authority that this Maui ʻamakihi was photographed at our partner Haleakalā National Park, which is widely recognized as one of the last, best refuges for endemic and native Hawaiian birds.
You can also bird for these exquisite creatures at the expansive fishponds and wetlands protected at our partner Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park on Hawaiʻi Island!
It’s #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfTheMonth time, so here’s is the Hawai’i ‘amakihi who posed on some bare branches so generously for me. Thanks to Rob for the theme!
Two zebra doves fluffed up for morning on O’ahu is my contribution to the #Pairs of today’s #BirdOfTheDay main theme. Thanks to Rob for the challenge!
Another #Redheads member of the tanager family, this yellow-billed cardinal is my submission for #BirdOfTheDay - thanks to Rob for the theme!
Morning light draped this young Hawai’i ’amakihi with #LightAndShadow for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme. Many thanks to Alan!

“I am a a rock. I am an island!”
(Apparently a Simon and Garfunkel fan) Thanks to Helen for the theme!
I couldn’t resist going for both #BirdOfTheDay themes: here’s an #Elegant yellow-billed cardinal and a #Scruffy mejiro (warbling white eye). Thanks to Atlantic Birding for the challenges.
A nene (Hawaiian goose) flies by for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ODG (owls, ducks, geese). Conveniently for the photographer, nene in flight tend to call out so the camera can swing in the right direction. Thanks to Alan for the theme.
I watched this oma’o enjoy these ‘olapa berries last fall - it’s time to go visit the #BirdsWithBerries again, I think, but this one is my contribution for #BirdOfTheDay - thanks to Helen for the theme!
An ‘apapane flutters on an ohi’a branch against a gray sky in #Silhouette for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme - thanks to Atlantic Birding for the challenge!
Is this pair of nene (Hawaiian geese) among the #Mamas&Papas? It's hard to tell with nene. But it was such a wonderful moment this morning that I'm submitting them as #BirdOfTheDay - thanks to Rob for the theme!
Taken today, this is my submission for the #BirdsInAbstract #BirdOfTheDay theme - I was pleased to focus on the crest feathers of this kalij pheasant. Thanks to Helen for the theme!
The light caught this white-rumped shama on the head to show off the #Iridescence in his feathers and make him my submission for #BirdOfTheDay - thanks to Rob for the theme!
