A young Cooper's hawk portrait along St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado.

In this vertical color photograph, a young Cooper's hawk fills the frame as it perches on a slanted branch that extends diagonally from center left to the lower right corner. Facing the camera, the hawk gazes directly into the lens, creating an engaging connection with the viewer. The background is softly blurred, revealing green foliage from the riparian forest against an overcast gray sky.

This intimate portrait highlights a young Cooper's hawk within the riparian habitat that is essential to its survival.

The alt #BirdOfTheDay for today is #Busted, birds looking directly into the camera. Judging from it's expression I'm pretty sure this little Northern Pygmy Owl wasn't impressed with being photographed. #owls #birds #wildlife #grumpy #mcoupephotography

You lookin' at me? You lookin' at me? A little chestnut-breasted mannikin staring me down in Moorea for #BirdOfTheDay #LittleBrownBirds and the alt #busted. #scape #SensoryArt #small #EastCoastKin #ECK #birds #PhotographersUnited #photography #OM-3

A little chesnut-breasted mannikin perched on a wide vertical grass or thin leaf. Its body is facing the right but it's looking right at the camera. The bird has a tan crown, black head and neck, a chestnut breast with a black band at the bottom, brown wings and tail, and a white belly with black spot along the wings. The beak appears gray hair and the eyes and legs are black. The background is a blurred mix of yellow with some blure and a bit of white in the top corner. There's another wilted leaf on the bottome left.

Good evening folks. Sorry haven’t been around as much. Enjoying my camera and my dog. Going to help AB with some #BirdOfTheDay entries. Here’s one taken today and boy was I #Busted #birds #photography #Ireland #ECK

A Little Egret stands in shallow, gently rippling water, facing the camera with an alert, inquisitive gaze. Its brilliant white plumage contrasts sharply with the dark water, while its long black legs and slender black bill create a striking silhouette. Fine breeding plumes drape from its chest and lower back, and a small crest of feathers rises from the back of its head, adding elegance to its appearance. Soft light highlights the smooth curve of its body and the delicate texture of its feathers, while subtle reflections shimmer around its legs. The close composition captures the bird’s graceful posture and intense expression, showcasing the beauty and poise of this coastal wader, a familiar sight along estuaries, saltmarshes, and sheltered shorelines across Ireland and much of Europe.

Good morning, AB @atlanticbirding.bsky.social has said: The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LittleBrownBirds; time to show love for the small brown birds in your life. Alt #Busted; birds looking at the camera. I’m going with a fledgling #Robin taken yesterday #ForJanet Twofer😁 #birds #photography #ECK

A close-up portrait of a juvenile European Robin perched on the top of a stone wall, facing directly towards the camera. The young bird has soft, mottled brown plumage with warm golden speckles across its head, shoulders, and breast, lacking the bright red face of an adult robin. Its large, dark eyes and tiny bill give it an inquisitive expression, while its pale pink legs are visible beneath its rounded, fluffy body. The background is a smooth, out-of-focus wash of green, helping the intricate feather detail and gentle colours of the young robin stand out.

Atlantic Birding has set the alternate #BirdOfTheDay to #Busted - birds looking directly at the camera. Here's an owl that seemed as interested in me as I was in it. #Photography #Birds #Owls

A barred owl peers directly at the photographer through a forked tree branch in the foreground which forms a V around the owl. Its eyes are opened as wide as they can go. Background is green canopy with bits of light peeking through.
