The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OnTheEdge , any bird at the edge of a body of water.
Here, a group of sanderlings run along the shore in #LongBeachCA last Saturday.

I was trying to get a #BirdoftheDay post for Mr. & Mrs. today at the lagoon. These redheads just could NOT get the light right. Hope you had a restful weekend... I see Monday morning right around the corner. 😑 🪶

I caught this pair of Red-eyed Tree Frogs in amplexus peeping on us last night through our window.

Little exhibitionists.

I'm not sure if I'm legally allowed to post two #birdoftheday posts for #birdonawire

But here's a closer view of the male Black-headed Trogon, showing his darker head and iridescent back.
