Bird of the Day, theme 'Syncro Flying'

Bird of the DayNov 8, 202622612,722

A tight V of seven Canada geese flying toward the camera embodied the literal synchronized formation. Intimate duos emphasized close pairing, as two mute swans skimmed over the inlet to Allen’s Pond with wings straight out. Others read syncro as mass movement, a rising cloud of snow geese over Yakima Valley. The alternate theme was Pigeons & Doves, shown by a rock dove at Hollow Ponds, Leytonstone.

The photo shows a Victoria Crowned Pigeon standing on a leafy green branch. The bird has a deep blue-gray body, maroon chest, bright red eye, and a pale bluish bill. Its most striking feature is a large lace-like crest of delicate feathers tipped with white, fanning out over the head like an intricate crown. The pigeon is shown in profile, perched in dappled sunlight, with the vivid green foliage behind it blurred.

Photo by Kort Duce An eastern phoebe perches on a dead tree branch extending over St. Vrain Creek while hunting in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, a branch enters the frame from the upper right corner and extends diagonally toward the lower left, where it ends abruptly beneath an eastern phoebe. The bird perches facing the camera, its head turned to its right. To me, the branch resembles a golfer’s driving club with a bird perched on it. I can almost hear a golfer shouting, “Fore!!!” Haha! The background is a soft blur of green vegetation along the opposite creek bank, with subtle hints of earth tones from the soil gently appearing here and there. A beautiful portrait of an eastern phoebe in the creek habitat it relies on for survival.
