Bird of the Day, theme 'Peek ABoo'

Bird of the DayAug 11, 202622210,110

A barred owl atop a palm peered around radiating fronds, offering the classic head-on peek. Others hid behind foliage, such as a prothonotary warbler hanging nearly upside down among dark green leaves, while puffins popped over roofs or peered from burrows. The alternate theme, Finches, appeared as an American goldfinch peeking from under its 'toupee'.

Peek A Boo · 186 photos

A young sparrow perches among lush green foliage, surrounded by vivid red and purple fuchsia flowers. Its head is turned to the side, with one bright eye looking towards the camera in a wonderfully cheeky side-eye, as if it has just noticed the photographer watching. Sunlight catches its soft brown and buff plumage, while the colourful flowers and leaves create a vibrant natural backdrop.

Photo by Kort Duce A female red-winged blackbird perches on last year’s cattail reeds at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, a female red-winged blackbird clasps dried cattail reeds that angle almost vertically from the lower left to the upper right of the frame. The blackbird faces the camera with her head turned to the right, revealing her left profile. The background is softly blurred dried cattails, with blue pond water reflecting the sky visible across the upper portion and into the upper right of the frame. Her streaked brown plumage blends beautifully with the surrounding vegetation, while her alert expression and delicate posture reveal the distinctive character of this often-overlooked bird. A beautiful portrait of a female red-winged blackbird in her natural wetland habitat, an ecosystem so vital to her survival.

A barred owl sits at the top of a palm tree, with the frond branches (or whatever you call them) radiating in all directions. It peeks around and looks directly at the camera.

The bright blue head of a Rainbow Lorikeet (red beak, red rimmed eye, lime green collar) is surrounded by bright orange Cape Honeysuckle flowers, in the midst of a bunch of green leaves. Gosh, I miss my backyard, and my feathered visitors. (Sigh)
