The neighborhood is much more lively when the scrub jays are around.

From behind, a California scrub jay stands on the edge of a roof while looking across the neighborhood. Their head is turned to the right. The mostly blue and gray bird contrasts with the warm, blurry background. Hints of bars can be seen on the bird's folded wings.

I get the impression that many people on the Fediverse like cuteness.
I present to you a baby Sandhill Crane walking along with mom and pops. Let the cuteness begin.

Watching a male and female Sandhill Crane walking away from me with a very young chick toddling along in between them. They are leaving a parking area and entering a grassy lawn. The baby bird is so small next to his large parents.

I usually make things for people to use at home, but it seems to me that the only purpose of this bowl is to bob and spin in the Gulf.

squeezing in one last decembird with this loquacious lad, gary nubird. the starling is rarer & rarer in scotland; so, sadly, i've never had the distinct honour of hearing one bust out a classic electro riff. i'll bet they do it all the time, though, with their little customised roland tr-808s.

Robin in the Blue is a watercolor painting in contemporary square format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A little robin sits on a branch and looks to the right. The background is abstract in light blue with loose brushstrokes and splashes of colour. The orange-red breast of the little bird stands out as an eye-catcher for the viewer due to the color contrast with the background.

Crows of the Coven / Bird Art by Lisa S Baker. Dark wings sweep across the night as crows gather in secret, whispering their ancient spells. This piece captures the mystery of folklore - the timeless bond between ravens and witches - while adding a touch of playful whimsy. Perched among pumpkins and crowned with pointed hats, the crows watch under a full harvest moon. A rustic plaid frame completes the scene, giving this moody, magical artwork a cozy autumn charm.

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm Karen, an artist from Germany who works with traditional media - watercolor, ink, soft pastels, acrylic...
For me, inspiration is everywhere, especially in beautiful nature. My favorite subjects are animals - cats, birds, flowers, landscapes and colorful abstracts.

Collage of five of my paintings (clockwise): 1. A small black cat peeks curiously out from behind a group of colorful pumpkins and gourds. The pumpkins come in different shapes, colours and sizes. Only the head and one front paw of the cute kitten behind it can be seen.
2. View from the Top of the Mountain is a hand-painted watercolor painting by artist Karen Kaspar in landscape format. From the mountain summit, the viewer's gaze sweeps over the surrounding mountain ranges of the Bavarian Alps. The tranquil landscape features multiple layers of mountains that gradually fade from rich greens in the foreground to softer blues in the background.
3. A black and white Tuxedo cat stands in front of a dreamy abstract background in various shades of blue and gazes curiously upwards. Soft, loose, abstract brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement around the cat.
4. Robin in Colors - A European Robin stands amidst splashes of vibrant colors on a plain creamy white background. The bird's bright orange breast contrasts beautifully with its darker feathers. The colours of the plumage are repeated in the splashes of colour in the abstract background.
5. A female sparrow with soft, fluffy plumage sits on a slender branch. The cute little bird is looking to the right. The delicate feathers of the little bird are painted in different shades of brown with loose, soft brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm brown, purple and earthy tones.

A bright red Northern Cardinal is buffeted and blown by a windy, snowy day ... he clings to his branch and waits for spring to arrive!

I had known this day was set in bone.
After all, that pull to North is hollowing me, too.
But now it’s come, and all I think is grief…

Roseanne Watt
Migration Day

I had known this day was set in bone.
After all, that pull to North is hollowing me, too.
But now it’s come, and all I think is grief;

this feels like grief. But it’s not the flight
that can’t be followed, this being left behind
that weighs on me. Something else

is in the fields now they’ve left us;
the marshes, bereft of them, are opening
again, like skin remembering

wounds. It’s not enough to say
they will return. Something’s always lost
in leaving. And anyway, I have less

faith in such assurances these days;
like when she said she did not fear her dying,
I knew she meant the indigo

of its moment – not the increments
of losing, not how each thing would slow
into its last. The day they left

was blue, and kind and sudden.
And still, some part of me
would beg them stay.

For #MeerMittwoch, here's the Pacific Ocean as seen from Francis Beach in Half Moon Bay. Oh, and one fearless gull.

#SeaWednesday #ocean #BirdsOfMastodon #birds

A gull stands on a wood picnic table, looking out at the ocean as sunset approaches. There are a few other small birds right at the shoreline, where a small wave is breaking, but the close-to-the-camera gull is the main focal point. The sky is beginning to turn a peachy pastel orange.

A great egret stands among the dense greenery, her feathers glowing softly in the light. The delicate breeding plumes drape like strands of silk, while her long, orange-and-black bill and piercing yellow eye bring quiet strength to her graceful form. There’s a peaceful stillness here — a moment of pure elegance within the wild.

What bird am I? 🤔 (See alt text for clue) 🌎 #WhatBirdAmI #MyBirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ❤️🦜

"Birders often struggle to tell my species apart from another similar-looking—but no-longer considered as closely related as first thought—bird of prey. Notice my rounded tail feathers and capped head; what juvenile North American hawk am I?"

Image description:
A high-resolution, vertical close-up photo of a juvenile bird of prey perched on a thin black metal fence loop. The hawk is facing away from the camera but has its head turned sharply to the left, looking back over its shoulder with a piercing yellow eye. Its feathers are a mix of brown and grey with prominent white spots on its back and wings. The long, straight tail features thick, horizontal dark brown and light grey bands. Its talons are visible gripping the metal bar against a soft, blurred brown background. Gemini 3 (Edited)

Three female sparrows with soft, fluffy plumage sit together on a slender branch and have a chat. The two birds on the left are looking to the right, the house sparrow on the far right is looking to the left towards the other two. The delicate feathers of the small songbirds are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm shades of brown, purple, earth and chocolate. The birds appear calm, creating a peaceful composition.
I originally painted the three sparrows as individual paintings, which can also be found in my collection of bird paintings (Sparrow Meeting parts one, two and three).

Three sparrows on a branch is a hand-painted acrylic painting in a unique panoramic format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
