It’s still September and I took some flattering photos of two of my backyard friends today, so I thought I’d toss them in for my #BestOfTheMonth picks. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #paridae #titmouse #backyardbirds #birdphotography #chickadees #ECK 🪶

An aptly-named black-capped chickadee perches on a branch facing right with blurred green leaves in the background. It shows its very fine gray feathers on its back, and light brown and white feathers on its breast and belly.

From this morning at the #lake

A white Woodstork with its head turned to the left is standing in the grasses and wild flowers along the edge of the blue lake. To the right is a white egret. You can see its white head sticking up above the bank.

Interesting information :
Large, white Wood Storks wade through southeastern swamps and wetlands. It’s a good flier, soaring on thermals with neck and legs outstretched. This bald-headed wading bird stands just over 3 feet tall, towering above almost all other wetland birds. It slowly walks through wetlands with its long, hefty bill down in the water feeling for fish and crustaceans. This ungainly looking stork roosts and nests in colonies in trees above standing water. Wood Storks occur only in a few areas in the United States, so to get a look at one, head to a wetland preserve or wildlife area along the coast in Florida, South Carolina, or Georgia. Wood Storks tend to be busily foraging with their head down and body held horizontally, but their large size should help them stand out amongst the other pale herons, ibises, and egrets in wetlands even if you can't see their hefty bill. If they aren't foraging in areas with standing water, check nearby trees for groups of roosting Wood Storks, or look up in the sky for soaring birds with black-and-white wings. They are mostly silent, but during the breeding season, sounds of begging chicks might help you find a colony.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #EFG with the alternative theme #Paridae, which includes chickadees.
The Front Range has been sooo dry that there is very little for wildlife to eat. This little Mountain Chickadee came down from the foothills for the easy pickins at our seed feeder.

A small white bird with black stripes on its head clings to the underside of a wire mesh sunflower feeder. It is intent on getting something to eat.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme of #Paridae, here's a Chickadee I stumbled upon last night in the woods.

A chickadee sits on a diagonal branch. The colours of fall (yellow, orange, green) can be seen in the blurred background).
