Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #character. I don't think anyone who has had interactions with Canada Geese can say they lack character!!

This is Terry the territorial Northern Mockingbird. He thinks any land he spots is his, and his alone. #BirdOfTheDay #SkinnyLegs #bird #birds

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #birdinabush from Alan H‬ ‪@alan678.bsky.social‬. I have a bit of a territory feud going on right now with these 2 Mockingbirds. #birds #bird

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from
@alan678.bsky.social is #wings. While many may not find the
Turkey Vulture the most attractive of birds - I think they may be the most graceful in flight. #bird #birds

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is the 'Family Paridae of Birds'. This little Black-Capped Chickadee just took its first flight and landed quite nicely on the fence. It seems to be just taking in the everything around it - life looks a bit different out of the nesting box. #chickadee #bird #birds

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is themed 'Juveniles/Chicks' as chosen by @robcrank68.bsky.social. Yesterday I posted a juvenile American Robin so it is only fitting I post an American Robin chick today. #bird #birds #chicks

The #BirdOfTheDay alternative theme is #floofball and I have chosen this Red Bellied Woodpecker fluffed to the fullest on a cold snowy morning.

I love this shot I got of a Canada Goose with the Great Blue Heron in the background. The Heron looks unimpressed by the wing display. #BirdOfTheDay #Goose/orGeese #bird #birds
