A late entry for #BirdoftheDay #LongBeaks, and this shot from today, and a different Great Blue Heron watches a passing Turkey Vulture. Odd to see them looking up rather than down. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife #Photography
A Great Blue Heron, against a bare bush and grasses, stands with long bill pointed to the sky as a Turkey Vulture circles overhead.

here are some more #LongBeaks #BirdOfTheDay
A great egret standing in a marsh, surrounded by red and green plants. The egret has a long yellow beak and yellow eyes, and is leaning toward the camera with its head cocked to the side, rather inquisitively. A brown pelican flying just above the surface of a body of water. Its wings are stretched wide and high and its feet are dangling down. A great egret just starting to take flight, leaning forward with its legs out behind it and its wings spread. A great blue heron in flight, seen from the side. Its wings are spread out and up and its neck is coiled back.

It seems like the birds I photograph most ALL have long beaks, so here's a set of long beaks.
A bird with a long beak, the Sandhill Crane. The photo is a head shot. The bird is looking left. It has a red skin patch on it's forehead, a long blackish beak, white cheeks, a gray neck and an amber colored eye. A bird with a long beak, the Great Blue Heron. The photo is a head shot. The bird is looking right. It has a blue top of head, a long blueish beak that is yellow on the bottom, white cheeks, a yellow eye, and a gray neck with a blue and white feather pattern striped down the front of the neck. A bird with a long beak, the Great Egret. The photo is a head shot. The bird is looking left. It has a yellow eye, a long yellow beak, and a white head and neck. A bird with a long beak, the Green Heron. The photo is a head shot. The bird is looking right. The top of it's head is blue, a long blueish beak, a rusty-colored body, a cream stripe from the chion down the breast and a yellow eye.

The white ibis used its long beak successfully while foraging. On its own, this ibis looks large but seen next to the great blue heron (whose head is still mostly in the photo), you see it's a small wader.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay #LongBeaks theme - a great blue heron scanning the #sky.
#Birds #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography #WildlifeWednesday
A great blue heron is on alert for breakfast as it scans the sky from the top of a post on the Okaloosa Pier. The blue sky behind the heron is brightened by the rising sun while a quarter moon hangs above to the left and soft clouds float by.

Here’s a #CarolinaWren and what appears to be either a female or a juvenile #commonloon, and they have #Longbeaks. 🪶 We don’t get many loons in my area and I’m desperately hoping I can set eyes on more of them this season.

Rob’s theme is long beaks with alt of gulls. Got a snipe whose beak is somewhere in the reeds, a grey heron who thought his beak was long til he met the pelican, an avocet showing off its curved beak and a juvie gull just showing off

#BirdOfTheDay #Birds #LongBeaks #EastCoastKin 📸
A photograph of a snipe hiding in a dry reed bed. There are old brown stems everywhere and the brown and cream mottled bird is nestled amongst them, blending very well. A photograph of a grey heron and a pelican. The grey heron is in the foreground, on the left side, back to the camera looking out over the water. He is mainly grey with some black and white markings and long feathers on his wings. The pelican, blurred, in in the background. She has a much larger beak, which is open as she slims the top of the water. She is mainly white with some brown mottling on her wings. A photograph of an avocet. It is standing sideways, with one grey leg up and bent. It is mainly white with some black accent feathers. Its head is black as is its long, curved up beak. Behind, blurred, is sand. A photograph of a group of gulls on the sea. In the front is a juvenile gull, wings outstretched as its skips into a landing on the water. Other gulls are floating, unimpressed, in the blurred background. Some are standing on the stone break in the background.
