A close up of a Great Blue Heron’s head in extreme detail as it hunts for a meal on the bank of a stream.

Helen @helenbennett.bsky.social has chosen #AwesomeOwls for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme.

Since I don't have any owl photos, I'm going with the Alt theme: #BirdNameG - any bird whose common name starts with the letter G! #Birds #GrayCatbird #NaturePhotography #ECK #PhotographersofBlueSky
A gray bird with a black cap, black beak, black button eyes (only the right one is seen) and darker gray tail feathers (a gray catbird) sits on a narrow branch of a red tip photinia against a sunny backdrop of mostly green, yellow and white bokeh.

The intensity of #owl eyes always amaze me and when @helenbennett.bsky.social called out #AwesomeOwls as today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme, I thought of this shot of a #GreatHornedOwl staring me out.

Bonus: the Alt theme is #BirdNameG -- any bird whose common name starts with the letter G! 🪶 🌿
Large owl with feather "horns" perched in a tree staring directly at the photographer with intense yellow eyes.

For Helen's #BirdoftheDay, I've decided to go with the Alt theme of #BirdNameG. I recently was able to observe this Green Heron hunting at my local patch. They're always fun, since they can go from a compact little egg on stilts to having more neck than you thought was possible! #Nature #Birds

I need to invoke the alt theme today, #BirdNameG, for #BirdOfTheDay. Here's a [G]lossy ibis, photo'd Apr 2025 at Wakodahatchee Wetlands park in south #Florida.

Post #5 in this Gannet thread featured photos of Gannets gathering nest material. Following on from that, here are two views of another one who, having gathered some grass, is heading back to their nest on Bempton Cliffs. #BirdOfTheDay - #BirdNameG #Birds #SuperSeabirdSunday #UKWildlife #ECK 🌿
Two photos of a Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) in flight, combined into a single image. In both photos, the Gannet is flying from our right to our left, carrying some dry grass in his or her beak. The uppermost image shows the bird in full, the lowermost is a closer crop to give a closer view of the head, with part of the body and wings. Gannets are large seabirds, mostly white in colour but with yellowish-brown colouration on the tops of their heads (extending down the upper parts of the back and sides of their necks), and black wingtips. Their long beaks are grey, with black lines around the edges and another line running along each side of the upper part of the beak. The eye is blue-grey, with a black pupil and a blue rim.

In afternoon sun, we see a Mourning Dove perched on a weathered wooden post of the garden fence. The background is a blur of green foliage.

I’ve seen but not photographed the pueo (Hawaiian short-eared owl), so I’m sharing this American goldfinch for the #BirdOfTheDay alt theme of #BirdNameG - thanks to Helen for the themes!

Four birds, one an #AwesomeOwls and all of them birds with #BirdNameG for today's #BirdOfTheDay

Great Horned Owl
Great Crested Grebe
Gila Woodpecker
Green-winged Teal
A Great Horned Owl is perched on a thick snag. We see his toes and talons (yikes!), his brown and white very stripey chest and tum, and one yellow eye, as the bird's head is turned. Ears up and the lovely mottling of one closed wing... yes, this is definitely an awesome owl! Arizona, 2023 A Great Crested Grebe is swimming in blue water toward us, generating a grebe-sized wake. The bird's black crest is up and sunlit. We can see the bird's white cheeks, brown chin, light neck, and some of its dark back. South Africa, 2023 A Gila Woodpecker clings to a worn wooden post; we have an excellent view of the bird's left side. The bird has a black bill and eyes, and is overall a light tan color. He has a red patch on his crown, and black and white wings. His stiff tail is against the post. Arizona, 2022 All ducks are lovely, and this Green-winged Teal is no exception! The bird is facing mostly away from us; we see most of his right side and back, and the sun lights the beautiful teal of his wide iridescent eyestripe, which continues to the back of his head, and speculum. His bill is black, the non-teal parts of his head are russet, and the bird overall is very light brown with various black, teal, or darker brown markings. Arizona, 2026
