#Brown and #blue all in one bird. But the #blue around their eyes is actually featherless colored skin - not plumage. #BirdOfTheDay 🪶 #BackyardBirds

Perhaps one of the #UnsungBirds for the Alt theme, this gray catbird thinks it could be a main theme #BirdSupermodel if given the chance! #BirdOfTheDay #birds #catbirds #backyardbirds #birdphotography #ECK 🪶

Not a great picture, but #Lifer pie for our backyard and us. A pair of male American redstarts visited us this morning. One flew off before we got a pic, but we got a blurry pic of one flitting hyperactively about in our bushes. 🪶 #BackyardBirds

📸 American redstart: Setophaga ruticilla

8.5 inches of rain since Saturday. More expected later today. The birds are waterlogged. But a little hummer #perched (but not on branches) on the sugar bar to snack and dry out. 🪶 #BirdOfTheDay #BackyardBirds
