Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #HiddenInPlainSight, birds partially concealed by foliage or grasses.

This #AmericanGoldFinch fits the prerequisite for the day.

Here's an #AmericanGoldfinch that doesn't look like its in the mood to play anything. More like an accusing glare.

Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LittleBrownBirds (a request from @hlkfotos.com), birds with mainly brown plumage.
Here's another couple of pictures of the #HouseWren that sings to me non-stop, all day.

Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #BranchingOut, any bird standing/sitting on a branch.

This #HouseWren is giving me some serious stink eye. Maybe I should have asked to take its picture before I started shooting?

It's time for JJ's @javajanegallery.co.uk #SmallBirdSaturday, here's my additions this week, a couple of closer shot images of a #RubyThroatedHummingbird. Actually not closer shot, I just used a bigger lens. 😂

I was saving this photo for something, I guess one of those #Hashtags will cover it. 😂
The wasps are lined up for a quick energy drink.
Shot from about 18 feet away.

Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay Theme is #FoodInBeaks, any bird with food in it's beak.
This #CommonGrackle has the right idea and a beak full of worm. It worked well enough for me to choose it as the #BOTD.

Another wasp from the hummingbird feeder. This time a video.
