Bird of the day theme is odd couples - two different birds in one capture. Here I’ve got a grey heron and a pelican at the London Zoo, and an actual odd couple - a greylag and Canada goose who spent some time bickering then settled down :))

#BirdOfTheDay #Birds #EastCoastKin #OddCouples
A photograph of a grey heron and a pelican. The grey heron is in the foreground, with its back to the camera. She is mainly grey with some black accenting on her wing feathers and black stripes on her head. In the background, blurred, is a pelican on the water. He is mainly white with some brown mottling on his wings. His very large beak is open as he skims the water surface. He could seriously swallow the heron whole and I’m sure the heron was thinking that too! A photograph of two geese. They are sitting on some short grass, with tufts of longer grass and bare patches around them. The goose in front is a greylag - mainly grey with darker grey-brown wings and neck, and an orange beak. Next to him is his mate, a Canada goose. She has brown wings and a black neck and face with some white cheek patches.

a great blue heron stands in the shallow, choppy water of a rocky shoreline, alongside a black-backed gull on the pebbles. the heron stands tall with an orange and dark bill, while the gull, with its white head and black wings, stands closer to the foreground. the water is grey-blue with small waves breaking on the shore. in the immediate foreground to the right, some pinkish fish remains are visible.

Dear Rob, a wonderful idea! 👌

For #TwosDay

Tufted ducks
Mallard ducks and

Roseringed parakeets
(only short time after sunset)
A male and female duck are perched on a log above calm water, with their reflections visible. The female has mottled brown feathers, while the male displays a vibrant green head and white chest. Surrounding branches and water add to the tranquil scene. A male and female duck are perched on a log above calm water, with their reflections visible.

Two green parrots perched on a branch, surrounded by leaves and spiky seed pods. One bird is eating while the other is slightly turned away, showing their colorful plumage. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the parrots.

Well, this is a fun theme. I have a few #oddCouples for the #birdoftheday today. #nikon #wilidlife #eastcoastkin
Cardinals and Eastern Bluebird face each other down at a flat tray feeder. Photo of a red cardinal and an eastern bluebird where the Cardinal is airborne with wings and feet tucked for landing. The bluebird appears to be wondering if this cardinal is going to run into it. A red cardinal and dark eyed junco stand in the snow. A carolina wren and a downy woodpecker share a feed spindle.

A bright red bird with a black face mask in the lower left corner is in profile facing left and looking down toward the ground with its crest raised against a bright blue sky. In the upper right corner a small gray bird with white cheeks and a black cap and chin is in profile facing left and is looking down toward the other bird. It is shaking out its feathers and its wings are blurred and tail feathers are flared.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #oddcouples I have a chestnut-backed chickadee flying to a feeder occupied by a dark-eyed junco and a #crow and a #pigeon squabbling over food. For #Urban I have two crows on a #Seattle streetlight just after sunrise.

A chestnut backed chickadee is flying to a suet feeder that a dark eyed junco is currently occupying. The background is old growth forest. Two black birds on a streetlight against a clear blue sky. One bird is perched, while the other is flying, wings spread wide. Two black birds on a streetlight against a clear blue sky. Both birds are perched. A crow and a pigeon stand on wet pavement, pecking at peanuts. The crow is hunched and cawing, while the pigeon gazes intently at the food.

Mouthing Off

This Cedar Waxwing, a migratory newcomer, tries to bully a female House Finch, one of our birdbath regulars.

A future friendship for this #OddCouple looks doubtful.

From the archives, a Ring-billed Gull hanging out with a group of Royal Terns, Bolivar Flats (TX), December 2024.

A gull hanging out in the midst of a group of eight royal terns. They are all standing in shallow surf with waves coming in in the background. The birds are facing away from the camera, but the gull and four of the terns are looking to their right.

One of these things is not like the other.
The #GreenHeron is hunting, the #Mallard looks to be mocking him.

A raven is lifting up into the air through falling snow. Tree branches frame the top of the scene. Serene and wintery. The snow-covered ground adds a peaceful tone.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples, two different birds in one capture. I photographed this kolea (Pacific golden plover) and akekeke (ruddy turnstone) last August soon after they’d made their migration from Alaska. Thanks, @alan678.bsky.social

Hi,
#birdoftheday is #oddCouples

From me a picture puzzle with a great egret an a kingfisher. I didn't see the little orange guy while I was photographing the big one.
A white bird in flight against a backdrop of tall, dry reeds beside a calm body of water, reflecting the scene. A kingfisher in the reeds on the right.
