I don't need it to be #NationalBirdDay to post photos of #Birds, but I will definitely honour the occasion! Below are a few of my favourite types of birds.

Close-up of a black-capped chickadee sitting on a length of tree branch encrusted with some lichen. Background is a soft tan and cream bokeh.

Close-up of a barn swallow perched on a wooden boardwalk railing. His orange and blue feathers are so vibrant!

Photo of a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on a thin fallen aspen trunk. The trunk is topped with snow along its length. Out-of-focus trees in the background enhance the forest context.

Happy #NationalBirdDay!

This Black-necked Stilt, a mother-to-be enjoying some quiet foraging time while her mate took his turn on their nest, was my favorite lifer sighting last year.

This year’s first fave lifer sighting candidate - a Western Kingbird quite far away from its home - delighted us on just the second day of the year. A quick sighting from the back on a cold, cloud-covered day made for less than ideal pictures, but you can see a bit of its distinguishing lemon yellow belly if you zoom in.

A female Black-necked Stilt forages in shallow blue marsh water while her mate sits on their nest. She is an elegant shorebird with incredibly long, vivid pink legs, a thin black bill, and graphic plumage that is black and dark brown on the top and crisp white underneath.

A Western Kingbird perches on a skinny, bare tree branch against a cloudy sky. Facing away and slightly right from the camera, it is a fairly large flycatcher with a gray head, olive back, brownish-gray wings, and lemon yellow belly.

I just discovered it is National Bird Day today! Here's a photo of an Oriental Greenfinch, taken along the Shukugawa river in Nishinomiya, Japan.
