Today's Bird of the Day is a daily community event with the main theme Paridae and an alternate theme Coots and Moorhens. Participants are sharing close-up and action shots of tit and chickadee species along with waterbird photos of coots and moorhens, often shot in backyards, ponds, and regional reserves. Standout entries include a Black-capped Chickadee taking flight on the Bruce Peninsula, a Coal Tit posed beside a teasel in a UK garden, and a moorhen rising from shadow to sunlight; other posts show a Coot with partial leucism at Doncaster Lakeside and a Penduline Tit photographed in Extremadura, Spain. Look for fluffy long-tailed tits and oak titmouse backyard sightings alongside moorhen chicks and an Aimakapa Fishpond Hawaiian coot in the gallery.
