When Nature made the blue-bird she wished to propitiate both the Sky and the Earth, so she gave him the color of the one on his back and the hue of the other on his breast.

'Leaning Into Winter' (2024) -- In Winter, the Gnarled, Barren Trees On the Fenway Can Be So Charismatic, Fenway-Kenmore District, Boston, MA

a large barren tree leans backward at an acute angle to the ground, it's wide and diverse branches shooting off in every direction - well balanced against the soft muddy soils of the river bank strewn with fallen leaves & frost

Nature’s clouds were gentle and free this day 📷🕊️ ….

Light gentle puffs of clouds over the distant mountains get a mirrored showing in the grass edged reservoir.

American Kestrels, male and female, for today’s
#BirdOfTheDay #Kestrel
📷🪶

A male kestrel has gray edges to its wings and dark spots along its chest. One of the smallest raptors it generally hunts small rodents or insects. Here it is sitting on a metal post at Ridgefield NWR, looking out over the grassy fields.

Here’s a back view of a female kestrel, sitting on a sign at Ridgefield NWR. See the difference in the wing edges (no dark gray) and her chest would be more streaky without black spots.

For #BirdOfTheDay, a "Kestrel" or alternative any of the Tit species of birds (flying ones). #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #Raptors

I've only seen 1 American Kestrel in real life--a memorable, short photo session! (I think a young one...?)

All I have to offer for today’s #birdoftheday “beautiful kestrel” challenge is a measly, distant flyover shot of a kestrel against drab overcast sky.

This was taken recently at Cape May. Funny story—I thought I had taken many photos of kestrels, only to discover later that the ones I misidentified were actually Merlins. So now I have plenty of Merlin photos.

I missed yesterday’s #BirdOfTheDay 🤦🏻‍♀️
For today’s theme, here is a Nankeen #Kestral letting me know just how aggro it was with me, for startling the finches it was trying to catch. Taken with my iphone almost a year to the day, at Maree, in South Australia.

In the picture, a common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) can be seen sitting on a bare branch of a tree. The kestrel is looking to the right of the image. The bird's plumage is reddish-brown with dark spots on its back, and its head is gray. The sky in the background is bright blue.

@robcrank68.bsky.social has announced:
Today's #BirdOfTheDay is back to basics with a singular bird, which is the beautiful 'Kestrel'.

And the alternative is any of the Tit species of Birds.
