Bird of the Day, theme 'Black&Red'

#Birds Alan H has chosen #Black&Red, any bird with Black & Red in its plumage for today's #BOTD theme. The smallest of our woodpeckers, the Downy Woodpecker. This male is hunting for larvae in a Common Mullein stalk.

I have so many favorites— but I chose a Red-capped Manakin for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #Black&Red and #blueskyartshow . I love to go birding— that’s my #3rdPlace.

Since I live near a cattail marsh and they tend to pose nicely, I have a silly quantity of photos of Red-winged Blackbirds. 🤷🏼‍♀️ This one is from April. #BirdOfTheDay #Black&Red #Birds #ECK

A great blue heron wades through the marsh as the day begins. For the #birdoftheday theme of #longbeak #birds #heron #greatblueheron #protectnature #EastCoastKin

Today's #BirdOfTheDay ALT is #LongBeaks. The extraordinarily long beak of this brown pelican certainly qualifies. It was photographed at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. #photography #wildlife #ECK #birds #BirdsInFlight #birdsky #conservation #biodiversity #nature #ecology #pelicans
