Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background.
I don’t know if this is coming from the @robcrank68.bsky.social and @alan678.bsky.social school of Bird of the Day but I love a good bokeh so I’ll play.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is the #Paridae family. I've included a Chickadee and a Titmouse. I love the little ones.
The Alt theme is #Pigeons&Doves. This charming pigeon was a surprise guest for lunch in Venice, Sullaluna Libreria & Bistrot vegan cafe and bookshop. Highly recommended.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #Mouthful; any bird with anything in its beak.
I’ve been trying for the heron photo for a year. Finally! The Cedar Waxwings are stripping trees of berries right now. This little Flycatcher is feeding its youngster and the Green Heron won the battle with the frog.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdNaps Any bird caught snoozing, napping or just looking incredibly sleepy!
I just took this one today. I cropped in tight so you can see that his eyes are closed. I also included the uncropped version and a bonus photo with signs of fall.
