Our #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #DucksAndGeeseInFlight. Happy to oblige. Here are four geese lifting off near #CapeMay, NJ on the #JerseyShore in Nov. 2024.

It perhaps doesn’t make the greatest photo, but it’s a splendid sight and sound at this time of year. The massed arrival of pink-footed geese in the UK

What bird is this? 🤔 (See alt text for clue and photo credit) 🌍 #whatbird | #birdsoftheworld | #birds 🦉🐧🦆🦩🦅🪿🦚

A medium-sized bird (36–42 cm / 14–17 in long) perches upright on a leafy branch against a soft, out-of-focus background. It features chestnut-brown wings, a streaked brown and white chest, a long dark tail, a prominent white stripe above its sharp red eye, and a slightly hooked black beak.

Clue: Look closely above my red eye for a striking white stripe and listen for my low, bubbling call echoing across the thickets, savannas, and wetlands of sub-Saharan Africa and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula!

Fun Fact: Unlike most of its kind, which are notorious nest parasites, this species builds its own messy, dome-shaped nest and raises its own chicks—with the male doing most of the egg incubation and chick feeding!

Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)

@robcrank68.bsky.social (for @alan678.bsky.social - thanks, Rob) says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Ducks&GeeseInFlight.

Here’s a flock of dark bellied Brent Geese taking off from an Essex field:

#ECK #birds #BirdPhotography @whatbirds.bsky.social @bbappnews.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social

A flock of black and white geese is flying away from the camera. There are about sixty geese visible in the photo. They are flying up into a grey sky, against a backdrop of distant trees shrouded in mist. There is a strip of green field visible at the very bottom of the picture.

#BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Pigeons&Doves, any Pigeon or Dove species: here's a mourning dove

#birds

A plump, grayish-brown mourning dove stands on gravelly ground, facing forward among green grass and mossy patches. The bird has a small head, dark eye, and pinkish feet. In the background, vibrant blue grape hyacinth flowers grow out of the garden vegetation, adding a burst of color.

Bird of the Day: White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) #birdoftheday #botd | #whitewagtail #motacillaalba | #birdsoftheworld #birds |
#birdbrainerapp #birdbrainer
🔗 birdbrainer.app

A slender bird standing on a flat pale limestone rock, facing right in three-quarter view, with a white face and underparts, grey crown and nape, dark grey back and wings with pale wing-bar edging, a long dark tail with white outer feathers, a fine dark bill, black eye, and pale legs, against a softly blurred rocky sandy background.

Text on card: Widespread across Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa, inhabiting farmland, roadsides, towns, rivers, and rocky habitats, often near water. A trim bird with contrasting black, white, and grey plumage that constantly pumps its long tail up and down; it is one of the most familiar small birds of open country.

👍 Good point. Looking it up it seems it gets this label because its spread is mostly down to the carelessness of mankind (urban mess and landfill rubbish sites) 😔 We also found reference to ship-assisted migration.

My husband had been feeding the crows where he works, but he missed a few days. This is what he saw today. Out of the 100s of cars on campus, they chose his to dine upon. They brought their own food. I think they’re trying to tell him something. #birds #crows #fowl #wildlife

🪶 Rob has chosen #Green as today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme; any birds or backgrounds that have green in them

Alternative is #Geese, any Goose/Geese will do

- A Song Thrush singing against a green background
