The #BirdOfTheDay 🪶 theme is #nestbuilders.

I've got a whole series for this one, as I watched these these cactus wren building a nest earlier this year.

Well that was a bit of serendipity.

I just got done editing this image from this evening at the river and happened to see that today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #movement

Pretty sure this dive bombing yellow-rumped #warbler qualifies. 🪶

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, let's go with these sandhill cranes 🪶 #OnTheEdge of the ponds at Whitewater Draw.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay I'm going with the alternate theme of #YellowEyes.

I do have plenty of pictures of Warblers, but this Yellow-Eyed Junco is such a cool little bird.

I also sometimes take pictures of people. Lots of people fishing at the salt river this morning. This guy caught a trout.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #MrandMrs I actually have a shot that I took today.

This Mr. and Mrs. Mallard duck kind of got photobombed by a pied billed grebe (which I may or may not have initially thought was their baby)

We were lucky enough to see wild horses at the salt river this morning. Still going through my edits, but so far this is the best "action" shot.

This hummingbird visited almost the same time everyday. The rose of Sharon nectar must be tasty!

For the #BirdOfTheDay I'm going to go with the alternate theme of #silhouette primarily because I looked and looked and I just don't have any good pictures of birds on wires.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #shadesofgrey any bird with grey in their colours and the alternative is #beakopen.

The Barred Owls I see are usually in dark areas of the forest and have many #grey shades in their feathers.
