The alternate #birdoftheday is #robin. Here’s an #AmericanRobin who also qualifies as a #branchbird. Hulls Falls Road, Keene, NY (18 May 2019). wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

#Twigbird rather than #Branchbird
A robin sitting on a twig, with a blue sky (and some out of focus twigs) behind it.

More of a #TwigBird than a #BranchBird (today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme), but I’m going with it! A brilliant Blue Tit (from Brandon Marsh on Saturday) to end a #Plumescrolling thread in which we’ve seen pics of this species either approaching or departing. #Birds #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin #Photography 🌿
A Blue Tit, perched on a vertical, lichen-covered twig (on the other side of that twig, from our perspective). The underside of the bird’s body and tail are facing towards us (with the tail pointing towards the bottom right corner of the image), with the head turned to face towards the left side of the image. Blue Tits are small, colourful, and characterful birds. The head is white with a blue crown, and black stripes encircling the cheeks. The underparts are yellow, with a short, often irregular, black stripe running down the middle of the belly. We can't see the wings or back here. The underside of the tail is grey. The beak, and the legs and feet, are dark grey.

If Brown-cheeked Hornbills are Pharaohs, this is the Court Jester.

Yellow-casqued Hornbills.
As with us, commonly spotted at a distance, high on the forest canopy.
We were SO VERY LUCKY to have seen them!

A Yellow-casqued Hornbill sitting on a tree top facing the sun. It has a cute reddish brown crest and a blue ring around it's eyes. A blue fob hangs on it's neck. Also listed as 'Vulnerable', these birds recognise alarm calls made by local monkeys to know when a predatory eagle is near. As with us, they are generally spotted in a distance, high up on the forest canopy. We were SO VERY LUCKY to have seen them! Scientific name: Ceratogymna elata Conservation status: Vulnerable A pair of Yellow-casqued Hornbills sitting on a tree top facing the sun. The bird on top is looking up into the distance. The lower bird is showing it's casqued bill and looking down. Scientific name: Ceratogymna elata Conservation status: Vulnerable A sunlit Yellow-casqued Hornbill flying downwards and away from a tree. Scientific name: Ceratogymna elata Conservation status: Vulnerable
