Apparently @alan678.bsky.social chose any bird #notonabranch for #BirdoftheDay today
and I just happened to have taken shots of this #kestrel this morning - definitely not on a branch! 😉

We met this sweet Sparrow in the massive dining room at The Thomas Jefferson Hospital last year while we were waiting during my Sister’s surgery.

#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #notonabranch, so here's a regal eagle from our trip to Alaska earlier this year that is most definitely not on a branch. 😊🦅

An eagle sits on a gray concrete pylon, in profile looking to the right from the left side of the frame. Behind him a large green tree covers half the background, and the other half is a hazy blue/green mountainside further back.

Thought I'd add another - my garden helper the Robin - here sat on the edge of my garden trug helping me weed - or seeing what it might pick up for tea 😏

Well I immediately thought of these Blue-and-White swallows I captured here in Panama, because the last line of Merlin’s description is “Often perches on telephone wires.” #birds #notonabranch #birdoftheday

@alan678.bsky.social #BirdoftheDay is any bird #notonabranch so I've chosen my Redstart seen earlier this year in my locale, sat on a post. My first sighting of this bird + what a stunner!

I saw this lovely American redstart hopping around at ground level in Brooklyn Bridge Park. It then perched on a wire, #notonabranch, making it a suitable entry for @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdoftheDay.

A female American redstart perched on a thin wire among green leaves and above blurry brown woodchips. We're viewing the bird from the side and slightly above: we can see the gray head, olive-green back, and the yellow patches in the wings and the tail, which is slightly fanned.

A #Raven looking for its (or someone else's) lunch. #BirdoftheDay #notonabranch @alan678.bsky.social #photography #naturephotography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBluesky #Yellowstone
A raven perches at the edge of a picnic table. Perhaps waiting for some people food? (Alas, we do not feed people food to birds!) The table and bench are green metal on a concrete floor. The log siding of a building is in the background on the left. Log rails of the porch at the top.

Read the newspaper article about you not being allowed drive, Mr Starling.

The reporter forgot to mention that you can't drive and don't have a licence!!
And, that you are a bird! 🤣

A Wood Pigeon sitting on the edge of a metal water container with a starling sat on the water next to it. The Pigeon is looking downwards at the Starling and the Starling is sat with it's head turned towards the pigeon. They look as it they are in conversation. 😂
