A Brown Pelican lands in teal ocean water, wings exended up and back, leaving a small wake. A small foamy swell is seen just behind it.

A great blue heron comes up empty-beaked while ice fishing in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the heron stands nearly chest-deep in a small opening in the frozen pond near the shore, shown in right-side profile. It has just lifted its head from the water, sending droplets splashing in all directions, with large beads cascading from its head feathers. Its neck is stretched forward and its head slightly bowed, poised to strike again. The final rays of sunlight illuminate the front of the heron, while both the foreground and background remain frozen solid. Photo by Kort Duce

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WaterBirds. I think this Osprey with a fish in its grasp should suffice.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WaterBirds. This isn't a very good photo, but I was very excited when I spotted this Brown Booby following our cruise ship when we were unable to dock at Grand Turk gosh, over a decade ago. #birds

Have shared this shot before but I don’t have the personal strength to resist doubling up on today’s #birdoftheday themes of #waterbirds and #blue #birds
Little blue heron flying to the right over blue water. The lower half of the bird is cropped out of the photo and you can see his blue back and blue upper wing and the wingtip is curled up wavelike and is dark underneath. The shape and color of his dark underwing provides a kind of mirror image to his dark head, which is washed in deep burgundy. His blue back shows purple highlights. His beak is long and daggerlike and tipped in black and his yellow eye looks forward with great intention. The background is composed of bright blue sparkling water.

Silhouetted against the sun-sparkled water, a brown pelican comes in for a landing with wings spread and beak pointing left. It’s feet are just touching the surface.

A blueish crane/heron looking for food in the marsh. The water is brackish and some grass is floating in the water. He is surrounded by tall grass.

Ice Blue Heron

Being a #waterbird is a total splash until your favorite pond is frozen over.

This Great #Blue Heron shivers in a nearby tree to await the thaw.

Snowy egret. A white bird, yellow feet, long beak. It's focused on whatever is just below the surface of the brown river water. There are algae colored rocks in the scene.

A coot (a dark gray bird in the rail family with a black head, red eyes and a bright white beak with a bit of black near the tip) floats on rippling pond water with lights and darks and reflections and shadows of yellow and brown and tan and green and blue.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WaterBirds, any bird that lives in or gets it food from water. We usually see Great Blue Herons standing tall, long legs and neck, straight up and down. Well, here's one with a little different posture. Yep, a horizontal heron. 🙂

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WaterBirds, and I love it because I finally saw a loon for the first time on Monday. This Common Loon appears to be a juvenile. It was quite far, so the shots are cropped and not that sharp, but there it is, a lifer.
