Today's Bird Of The Day theme is RockSolid: submit birds perched on or standing by rocks; the alternate prompt is Mouthful for birds carrying food. The gallery is dominated by wildlife photography showing shorebirds and herons on rocky coasts, passerines and wagtails on stone walls, and owls and raptors settled on piled fieldstones. Standouts include a Meadow Pipit posed on a weathered stone wall, a Snowy Egret intent on fishing along a rock-strewn shore, and an American Crow finishing a crab amid riprap. Contributors also share vintage-lens portraits, action shots of birds in flight, and a few image-and-verse pairings.
