East Coast Kin photography tag highlights coastal and wildlife shots

photographyApr 28, 20261195,374

East Coast Kin is a community photography tag spotlighting coastal scenes, birdlife, macro studies and landscapes from the East Coast and beyond. Today's gallery mixes wildlife action, moody seascapes and intimate plant and film studies in both color and monochrome. Standouts include a great blue heron catching a bluegill in icy water, a backlit Tree Swallow frozen at very high shutter speed, snowy egrets squabbling, a Variable Hawk taking off from Pebble Island, a foggy Hudson River dawn, a Pentax K1000 black-and-white close-up of a twisted trunk, and a long-exposure Orion Nebula astrophotograph. Use #EastCoastKin to browse the collection or add your own coastal, bird, flower, or landscape photos.

My favourite photo. I took this the day my Mom passed away. It was gloomy all day and I went for a drive to clear my head. When I pulled into my driveway, this happened. I think she was telling me something. #Photography #EastCoastKin

Mayan culture likened the Orion Nebula to a cosmic fire of creation. It's an enormous cloud of dust and gas with a stellar nursery. At its core are four massive young stars, known as the Trapezium. #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #eastcoastkin #photography

Contested airspace The #BirdOfTheDay #WellTimed theme is well timed because I just captured this skipper butterfly flying right near my hummingbird friend yesterday. #AnimalArtTuesday #birds #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersUnited #photography #OM3

A hummingbird flying left as a skipper butterfly is flying up toward it. On the left, there are orange aloe flowers. Behind the hummingbird is blurred greenery and small pink flowers.

Lucky, I mean #WellTimed, shot of a Variable Hawk taking off. Pebble Island, #FalklandIslands. Who knew #Raptors have such long legs hidden amongst their feathers 😂 Canon R5 270mm f7.1 1:4000s ISO800 #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #TalonTuesday #EastCoastKin #ArtYear #ECK

Photo of a Variable hawk just taken off from a wooden post. Its wings are outstretched, its legs are extended straightening out its feathers and making its surprisingly long legs look almost naked and end in yellow feet adorned with sharp talons. The out of focus background is the rough vegetation of Pebble Island leading back to the sea

Look out below! A third photo in my series of two Snowy Egrets battling for territory for #BirdoftheDay #WellTimed. Alt theme today is #WeatherWarriors; birds in any weather. Have a lovely #TwosDay✨ #ColorADay #BlueTue #ECK #EastCoastKin #birds #photography #photographersofbluesky #Florida

2 Snowy Egrets battle in and above a very blue Atlantic Ocean in January., 2026 One hovers, head down, wings extended up in a broken V, while the other waits below, for the clash, head up, wings extended outward. Surrounding them on all sides is a particularly blue ocean on a cold, sunny January day.

Sunset Black Bridge, Cork, 🇮🇪 #photography #nature #landscape #springtime #sunset #cloud #bridge #PhotoHour #spéirghorm #EastCoastKin #ECK 🐕 🚶📱 📸 📷 ⛅️ 🌅 🌉

Sunset over calm water, with the sun low on the horizon casting a golden reflection across the surface. In the foreground, the textured metal surface of the bridge, with raised rivets, diagonally crosses the lower half of the image. Dark silhouettes of trees line the far shore, and scattered clouds catch warm orange light against a blue sky.

Some of this season’s #tulip newbies. For many of them, the extreme weather changes produced a shorter blossom life. #TulipTuesday #Flowers #Bloomscrolling #EastCoastKin #FlowerReport 🌱 #OnlyBeautifulThings #Photography

An assortment of single and double tulips in multiple colors, including hot and pale pinks, whites, and deep purples . They are surrounded by healthy gray green foliage.
