It's still warm in NYC but as the leaves begin to turn, this American robin is fluffed up in anticipation of a temperature drop in the coming days. (Thanks, @robcrank68.bsky.social, for the alternative
#BirdoftheDay, #robin) #BlueskyMonday #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #photo #photography #nyc
View from side and slightly below of a male American robin perched on a lichen-spotted bare branch. His beak is turned slightly upward toward some golden-brown leaves on the edge of the frame, and his orange-red breast feathers are fluffed. In the background, blurred yellow and green foliage against a pale blue sky.

#BirdoftheDay theme is #walks, so here's a purple heron walking (or stalking) through green algae in search of snacks. I like how fluffy the neck feathers get when they extend their necks!

Side view of a green heron stalking through pond water covered in bright green algae. The heron's neck is extended and its red neck feathers are fluffy.

#BirdoftheDay is #ducks, so here are some common eidurs I met in #Iceland around 20 years ago. They're long-lived birds so the chicks in this photo may still be flapping around Reykjavik.

Rear/side view of a mother common eidur swimming in shallow water, followed by three chicks with fluffy light brown plumage. Rear/side view of a female common eidur, her head turned side-on to display her aerodynamic beak.

The #BirdoftheDay alternative theme today is #longlegs, so here's a great blue heron who's become quite an attraction at the Botanic Garden lately, delighting visitors with picturesque poses like this one.

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme is #geese, which gives me an excuse to post these Canada geese posing in front of the East River in #nyc in early April. Like most of my geese photos, it was taken on my phone - these birds are not shy!
#goose #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #photo #photography
Eye-level side/front view of a Canada goose, its head turned to face the camera. It's standing on the edge of the East River in New York City, with the buildings of Manhattan, the Ed Koch Bridge, and some bare trees in the background. Another goose's head and neck are poking into view at the side of the picture. Eye-level back view of a Canada goose, its head turned to fix us with a look. It's standing on the edge of the East River in New York City, with Brooklyn in the background, on the other side of the river.

Fantastic photo! Definitely one of those birds that look like it was made by Jim Henson 😆

Big voice, brash manners - the blue jay is all #attitude. Here's a pair of them: one eyeing me suspiciously, the other yelling at someone on the other side of the park.

Side/front view of a blue jay perched on a branch amid twigs and green leaves. Its head is turned and it is fixing us with one suspicious eye. Side/rear view of a blue jay, perched on a bare log in front of blurred green foliage. We have a good view of its colorful wing and tail feathers. Its beak is open, mid-call.
