For today's #BirdOfTheDay I'm going with the alternate theme of #YellowEyes.
I do have plenty of pictures of Warblers, but this Yellow-Eyed Junco is such a cool little bird.

For those in Delaware, there’s a yellow-headed caracara in state at the Maritime Center campus!
SoCal had its first last year under a provisional sighting
Good luck!

Hello there! Don’t let Monday wreck you!
It helps me to look back at past bird photos from trips to transport me back!
Join me in reminiscing about this Brown Violetear from my first trip to Colombia this past March to lessen the Monday suck 👍

Short Eared Owls can be difficult #birds to #photograph as they fly erratically and often only in the dim light of dusk.
It helps to get #lucky

Today was an OVER THE TOP bird day. Thousands of gulls, sheerwaters, cormorants, and pelicans feasting on the scraps of the dolphins and whales. Unmute for chaos vibes. 2 clips. Stick around for the 2nd one! 🪶

Fairview Park lured me into birding with these sightings of beautiful raptors year after year
We figured out that they nest throughout the greater park system around Fairview Park
Each year we get a chance to see the #Mr&Mrs of all these raptors create the next generation #BirdOfTheDay

#birdoftheday is #Mr&Mrs so here’s one more, a recent shot from Costa Rica—Broad-billed Motmots. Not sure who’s Mr and who’s Mrs but it’s enough that they do.

One of the hardest things is to continue to be creative with bird photography when you’ve ran through the gamut of close portraits
I’m committing to find time and use my Leica more for wide angle bird photos which include more landscape
Let’s start with some gulls and the ocean

My current Luna Sandals are still my go to daily wear
I love that they upcycle their sandals
Used their annual sale to grab me an extra pair of treads in case I get a flat 🥰

I saw my first Sandhill Crane as they winter at the Salton Sea in Southern California
I couldn’t resist a second #BirdOfTheDay because this might be one of the first photos I print and frame

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

One of the most common tanagers in Colombia, I found this blue-grey tanager #BirdOnAWire within the city limits of Solento, Colombia
This was one of 78 birds on a 2 hour walk around town in March earlier this year; 70 lifers on this walk 😅

Our coast is the home of very many western gulls. After the storms, our beaches get littered with critters and gulls come by and attempt to clean it all up

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GroundedGulls, that's any Gull not in flight. And the Alternative is #Singing, that's any bird with it's beak open.
I'm going with a set of Black-headed Gulls from Queen Elizabeth II Country Park.
