The first thing I noticed was how fast this swallow flew. When it landed, I noticed the white cheeks and green back. I was thrilled to realize that it was a Violet-green Swallow. They are stunning! #birds #photography #birdphotography #birding

Swallow perched on a dead tree in front of some beard moss (Usnea), blueish-purple wings, green back, clean white front and violet neck.

I sometimes despair that the camera can never really capture just how amazing the natural world can be. But sometimes, just sometimes, the winter light hits those reeds and all those reflections pop... #birds #birdphotography #birding #photooftheday #photography #NatureIsAmazing

In a brief break between snowstorms, I ventured out to check how frozen the lake was. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw this stunning heron land gracefully on the water’s edge. I waited for the ripples to settle, and it rewarded me with this perfect shot. #birds #heron #canon #photography #birding

A Great Blue Heron perched still at the edge of a calm lake, creating a perfect mirror-like reflection in the water below. The bird’s intricate plumage, including its long gray feathers and white accents, is beautifully highlighted against a bright white sky. The stillness of the water enhances the symmetry, making the reflection appear almost identical to the bird above.

AB’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Firsts, your earliest bird capture(s). Alt is @atlanticbirding.bsky.social’s most captured family: #Robins #birds #birding #eck The very first bird photos I saved! I was amazed by all its wonderful colors, and I still am! @luiscavalcanti.bsky.social

A small bird perched on a chain link fence with a cyan colored head and bright patterning on its back almost Aztec in nature, in my humble opinion.

When you foolishly tell the Northern Pygmy Owl that it's Monday morning before they've had their coffee. #owls #birds #canada #nature #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #birding #nikon #monday

A family of Ravens is putting the goth back in gothic at NYC's largest cathedral--St John the Divine. There are five mouths to feed, so the parents are staying busy! ⛪️⛪️⛪️ #Ravens #Cathedral #birding

Another photo of the stunning European Bee-eater from a few weeks ago. Here you can see it is totally focused on its next meal. They are like giant colourful flycatchers in their behaviour. #birds #birdsseenin2026 #birdoftheday #birdphotography #birding

Gotta love owls! I saw this magnificent great horned owl in Melbourne, Fla. recently. These owls are sometimes called the "tigers of the air" because of their ferocity and hunting skills. #Birding
