And for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ODG, owl duck geese --- a #Canada goose! Cornell Lab: "As lawns have proliferated, more and more of these grassland-adapted birds are staying put in urban and suburban areas year-round, where some people regard them as pests."

This #grackle with a sunflower seed is nowhere near as dramatic as some of today's #BirdoftheDay submissions on the theme of #Mouthful. How birds can catch and swallow whole bugs and fish among other prey is amazing! #AmherstMA

Why so grumpy? This #EuropeanStarling looks intense. For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Iridescence. "Covered in white spots during winter, they turn dark and glossy in summer. For much of the year, they wheel through the sky and mob lawns in big, noisy flocks," Cornell Lab says. #AmherstMA

"The reclusive Wood Thrush hops through leaf litter on the forest floor, probing for insects, bobbing upright between spurts of digging and leaf-turning," Cornell Lab says. Here's one bobbing among forsythia blossoms after an #April snowstorm. For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #FlowerPower. #AmherstMA

Back to the geese and goslings for today's #BirdoftheDay theme of #parenting. The geese always disappear from the beaver pond when the goslings get this big. I hope they just go somewhere they like better. #NorwottuckRailTrail #AmherstMA

For a few days earlier this summer, this #GreatBlueHeron fished while perched on top of a beaver deceiver, a wire cage designed to disrupt water flow and discourage beaver dam-building. For today's alternate #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ReflectionsAndShadows. #NorwottuckRailTrail #AmherstMA

I've been seeing #GreenHerons at the bike trail beaver pond a lot lately. "They typically stand on vegetation or solid ground, and they don’t wade as often as larger herons," Cornell Lab says. For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #CHE — Cormorants, Herons and Egrets. #NorwottuckRailTrail #AmherstMA

Today's #BirdoftheDay theme, which calls for four photos of the same birds with one in the first photo, two in the second etc, is super hard! So I'm going with the alternate theme of #ForJanet, which is supposed to be a #robin of some kind. #AmherstMA
