I love the chrome look of this harvestman. Not a spider, as the purists will say!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongLegs. Here’s a very dignified Great Blue Heron, stalking slowly through the shallow edge of a pond on very long legs. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

#Adirondacks #ECK #ADK
A large blue-gray bird with very long legs is walking in shallow water. This is a Great Blue Heron – a large wading bird that hunts fish and other aquatic prey in wetlands, lakes, and rivers, and nests in colonies called rookeries. This bird is considered a partial migrant—residents remain year-round in milder regions, while northern populations migrate south for the winter. These herons return to the Adirondacks in late March or early April as temperatures rise and ice melts on lakes and streams.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron stretches and squawks at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, a great blue heron is seen in left profile perched atop two partially submerged trees in the middle of a pond, approximately six feet above the water. The heron is hunched over with one leg and claw raised, its wings fully outstretched, and its beak wide open as it vocalizes. The trees enter the frame at mid-left and gradually rise as they extend toward the right side of the image. Softly blurred shoreline vegetation fills the foreground, while the upper quarter of the photograph is dominated by the dark reflection of the opposite shoreline cast across the gently rippled water by the rising sun. A veil of smoke from distant wildfires gives the entire scene an unusual, muted color cast. A beautiful moment capturing a great blue heron stretching in the natural wetland habitat so vital to its survival.

If this great blue heron doesn't have #LongLegs for today's #BirdOfTheDay, I don't know what does. Photo'd 1 July at Huntley Meadows Park in #Virginia.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron perches on one leg at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the exposed root system of a tree that fell years ago dominates the frame, creating an abstract composition. The background is calm, gray-toned pond water. In the upper-left quadrant, only the lower body of a great blue heron is visible as it balances on its left leg, its foot and toes wrapped around a large root for support. A quiet, contemplative moment of a great blue heron resting in the natural wetland habitat that is so vital to its survival.

@robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen #LongLegs as today's #BirdOfTheDay theme.
Here's a male Masai Ostrich and a Secretarybird from Amboseli National Park, Kenya for the theme.
#birds #birdphotography #wildlife #nature #photography #EastCoastKin #ECK #Nikon #KenyaBirding
The Masai ostrich (Struthio camelus massaicus), also known as the East African ostrich is a red-necked subspecies variety of the common ostrich and is endemic to East Africa. The secretarybird or secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) is a large bird of prey that is endemic to Africa. It is mostly terrestrial, spending most of its time on the ground, and is usually found in the open grasslands and savanna of the sub-Saharan region. John Frederick Miller described the species in 1779. A member of the order Accipitriformes, which also includes many other diurnal birds of prey such as eagles, hawks, kites, vultures, and harriers, it is placed in its own family, the Sagittariidae.

Photo by Kort Duce A silhouetted great blue heron perches in a dead snag above St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, a great blue heron fills the frame in left profile as it clings to a nearly vertical, branchless tree trunk. Its neck and head are turned back over its shoulder, revealing the right side of its face and creating an elegant, sculptural pose. The background transitions from soft gray to bright white, emphasizing the bird's striking silhouette in this high-contrast composition. A beautiful silhouette portrait of a great blue heron in the natural riparian habitat that is so vital to its survival.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron fishes and hunts along St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the viewer looks upstream as St. Vrain Creek winds into the frame from the upper center. Lush green grasses, shrubs, and trees line both banks of the creek, with a few leaves beginning to turn yellow as summer gives way to autumn. Their vibrant colors are beautifully reflected in the calm water. In the upper left quadrant of the frame, a great blue heron wades through the shallow creek along a gravel and rock bar dotted with tufts of green grass. The bird quietly searches the water for fish and other prey, blending naturally into its riparian surroundings. This scenic landscape photograph highlights a great blue heron in the healthy creek habitat that is essential to its survival.

#LongLegs is the #BirdoftheDay theme, and I know there will be lots of Herons and Stilts showing up. I'll add this Great Blue Heron seen at Las Gallinas. At the start and end of a long walk they were still in the same spot fishing. #Birds #eck 🪶
A full-body photograph of a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) standing in the shallow, green water of a pond or lake. The bird is viewed from a three-quarter rear angle, looking back over its left shoulder. Its grey plumage, long legs, and sharp bill are clearly visible. The foreground features light-colored rocks at the water's edge.
