Bird of the Day, theme 'Atonewithnature'

Bird of the DayAug 13, 202622210,163

A great blue heron on a small river island at sunrise gave a literal reading of the theme. Others found plant companionship, like a Lesser Goldfinch perched among lavender in Arcadia, California. The alternate theme, Raptors, appeared in a juvenile osprey perched on a driftwood log on a sandy beach.

A detailed, close-up photograph captures a small, brownish-grey female superb fairy wren perched on top of a thick, heavily textured, grey fallen branch that arches across the frame. The tiny bird features warm brownish tones on its head and back, a pale whitish breast and belly with subtle dark markings, and a short, upright tail, while its small orange-brown beak points forward as it looks toward the right. Soft-focused green foliage and bright clusters of small evergreen buds frame the background, all illuminated by warm, natural light.

A photo of a juvenile osprey (Pandion haliaetus) perched on a large driftwood log on a sandy beach. It's a large raptor with a white head and a dark brown eye-stripe, piercing yellow-orange eyes, a hooked black bill, dark brown upperparts with pale feather edging giving it a speckled apperance, and a white breast and belly. Its feathers are ruffled, and it faces left, surrounded by a mix of shade and sunlight. A blurred shoreline and water are visible in the background.

Five ducks are standing/squatting in bent-over reeds next to Laguna Lake. There are two smallish brown ones and two smallish black ones. The fifth is a big white duck. She always seems to be directing everyone and keeping them in line by snapping at them.
