I have a few #Scruffy #birdoftheday shots, including this baby Pacific Wren. Washington state #birds #wrens #nature

Small brown bird with a short upright tail, yellow-edged beak, and wispy feathers on its head, perched among green leaves.

Proud, majestic and exuding sheer elegance. The white peacock shows just how beautiful nature’s whims (leucism) can be. 👑 Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Elegant or #Scruffy #birds #photography #nature #naturephotography #thelittlethings #ECK #Stunday

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Elegant - any elegant looking bird. The alt is #Scruffy - any bird looking a bit worse for wear. I'm going with this elegant Western Grebe. #birds #nature #wildlife

A horizontal photo of a Western Grebe on calm water in soft morning light. The grebe is on the left, looking to the right, body slightly angled towards the camera. The bird has a bright white breast, neck, throat, and chin. The top of the head is black. The black extends down the back of the neck. The head feathers stand up, giving the bird a square buzz cut look. The back feathers are gray and wet from a recent dive.

The grebe has piercing red eyes. Only the right eye is visible. It has a long, pointed beak. The beak is pale orange. The top of the beak is dark, nearly black.

The scene is filled with soft morning light. Shades of pale pink and gold fill the scene. The water is still other than small ripples from the bird. The water appears pale blue.

Atlantic Birding set today's #BirdOfTheDay to #Elegant, which I think I covered yesterday. So today I'm going with his alt theme of #Scruffy 😀 #Photography #Birds #Cardinals

A bright red cardinal sits on the edge of a large terracotta planter. It is in the middle of molting so he is missing most of his head feathers other than two or three individual feathers sticking up.

🪶 Good Morning, Happy Saturday Everyone! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Elegant; any elegant looking bird Alt. is #Scruffy; any bird looking a bit worse for wear - A graceful Grey-Crowned Crane - A Rook that’s been feeding in decaying seaweed #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography

A Grey Crowned Crane, taken in captivity, standing on mown grass looking at the camera.
The bird is right of centre of the frame, facing the camera so that it’s looking directly with the left side of its body visible. Its crown almost reaches the top of the picture and its feet are cut off at the bottom. The bird has a striking fan of thin, golden feathers in the top of its head. Its has a black forehead and white cheeks patches, its beak is a grey colour with visible nasal holes on the top. It has long grey feathers along its neck, turning to a darker grey on the underbelly and back. The wings are white, turning to black at the ends and tail. Its legs are long and black.
The background is mown grass, with a large rock poking out of the grass to the left of the shot and a stone path along the top.

I'm going to call this a twofer for #BirdOfTheDay, since this Snowy Egret is looking both #elegant and a little #scruffy.

Red-shouldered hawk #rouse AB posted today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #Elegant, & for contrast the alt. is #Scruffy. Mine’s a twofer from 9/12. That scruffy look isn't the wind—it's "rousing," a behavior where they fluff up, & shake to reset their feathers. #birds #ECK #threewordgenre #blueskyartshow

The same Red-shouldered Hawk on the tree branch, mid-behavior doing what is known as a "rouse." It has intentionally puffed out its feathers and shaken its entire body to realign them, causing its warm chest feathers to fluff out wildly and its crown feathers to stick straight up.
