A lineup of seagulls, each standing on its own fence post, guarding the entrance to the beach 🏖️

I’m looking forward to summer beach days 😎🪶

#BirdOfTheDay
#FourOrMore

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore You have to look close, but there are 4 Crossbills working away on the pine cones in this ponderosa pine tree. 🪶 #birds

A mixed flock of blackbirds and starlings nearly blacks out the frame.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo. This is just a fraction of a mixed flock of Yellow-headed, Brewer’s, and Red-winged blackbirds, Brown-headed Cowbirds, and European Starlings my tour found in a field in California’s Imperial Valley. #birds #VENTbird

A Wilson's Snipe probing for food. Those water ripples are mesmerizing... I'd fall asleep before I found anything to eat!

they are colorful birds; this photo doesn't highlight that, more of a mood thing. They are fun to watch quickly move on the ground from one spot to the other, one after the other.

Rob's call for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth, your bird captures you like best from February. Here's a shot of a hen quail; the only one of the bunch that didn't fly out the tree as we went by. Just calmly sitting in a snowy crook in the tree as I took a few photos. 😌 🪶 #birds

Rob Crank says: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth, your bird captures you like best from February, the Alt theme is #Pigeons&Doves.

My favourite photo in February is probably this male Wood Duck with a perfect reflection.

Nice actions shot, Marga. Those poor little fish get hit from predators in the sea and air.

enjoyed watching those seagulls in action; not something I get to see on the Palouse

Thank you, Vicki 🤗

A sandhill crane colt with outstretched wings, facing away toward the blackberry bushes of autumn, both speckled with orange hues among the grey of the wings and the green of the leaves. 🍂 And look at those dark wing tips!

Per Alan, the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WideOpenWings birds with wings wide open and the alt is #NoBranch any perched bird not on a branch. Here's a seagull briefly stalling in the air as it drops a small clam onto the rocks below. 🪶 #birds

it is nice when birds have noticeable differences between the sexes.
