Photo of the Day â If you are crawling up the walls in anticipation of the weekend, you can join this Collared Sunbird as it enjoys a drink of nectar from this brightly-colored aloe. This bird is a seasonal migrant that can be found across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Often seen on our Budget Eastern South Africa tours this snazzy little bird was photographed by Rich Lindie in Kruger National Park.
Two vibrant kingfishers perch gracefully on a mossy branch, each gazing in opposite directions. The left bird looks slightly downward and to the left, while the right one gazes calmly to the right. Their vivid plumage stands out against the dark green, softly blurred forest background, creating a perfect moment of stillness and symmetry in nature.
Kookaburras (pronounced) are terrestrial tree kingfishers of the genus Dacelo native to Australia and New Guinea, which grow to between 28 and 47 cm (11 and 19 in) in length and weigh around 300 g (11 oz). The name is a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, onomatopoeic of its call.

In the serene waters of Namibiaâs coast, a flamingo dips its head, creating a perfect mirror image in the still blue shallows. This elegant wader is not just a symbol of beauty â itâs an icon of balance, grace, and the wild soul of Africaâs wetlands.

Walking around McCormick Park - Saint Helens, Oregon and found two robins fighting over some food. This photo looks like the "Matrix" kung-fu kick.

Ah, that feels better. This guy took a break from singing to stretch his left wing. I like the way his foot is clasped around the primary feathers. I can't help but think of home when I see a meadowlark...what a bird.

This is one of the birds I was most looking forward to seeing and photographing on my recent trip to Costa Rica!
Bird taking flight
Coming from my lunch break already put away my camera and then found this bird squawking almost playfully taunting me. Got my camera out in time for a few photos before flew off. Help me identify the bird and I'll update bird's description.
Bird was identified as America Crow.

The Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) is a large, terrestrial tree kingfisher native to Australia and New Guinea. It's known for its distinctive, loud call that sounds like raucous laughter, used to establish territory, especially at dawn and dusk.
The culmination of a series of images that I took back in May. The male finally made his move and gave the female the fish as he fluttered onto her back. I have the full view of both wings, but liked this crop very much. It was special to watch!!
I've been combing my archives recently for a site that has been in the works for a long time. It's a fun collaboration between three bird photographers from Kansas. We are really excited by some of the ideas that we have implemented...and others that will be online soon!
The blue-faced honeyeater (Entomyzon cyanotis), also colloquially known as the Bananabird, is a passerine bird of the honeyeater family, Meliphagidae. It is the only member of its genus, and it is most closely related to honeyeaters of the genus Melithreptus. Three subspecies are recognised. At around 29.5 cm (11.6 in) in length, the blue-faced species is large for a honeyeater. Its plumage is distinctive, with olive upperparts, white underparts, and a black head and throat with white nape and cheeks. Males and females are similar in external appearance. Adults have a blue area of bare skin on each side of the face readily distinguishing them from juveniles, which have yellow or green patches of bare skin.
Asio flammeus.
I've been organizing all of my photos from the past several years (an overwhelming job!) and have been finding some little gems among them. This is my favorite of a series I took of this bird.
Taken at Cheyenne Bottoms (Barton County, KS).
Thalurania colombica.
This is the first shot I've posted from my recent trip to Costa Rica with my partners from BirdsInFocus.com. I'll be uploading many more to my site in the coming weeks. Thanks to Greg Basco, Jose Lopez, and Foto Verde Tours for a great trip, and for help with the multi-flash setup used for this capture - one of about 20 species of hummingbirds that we photographed!
Thank you for your comments. They are always appreciated!
Taken at Rancho Naturalista (Cartago Province), Costa Rica.
The Pied currawong is generally a black bird with white in the wing, undertail coverts, the base of the tail, and most visibly, the tip of the tail. It has yellow eyes. The wings are long and broad. The long and heavy bill is about one and a half times as long as the head and is hooked at the end. Juvenile birds have similar markings to adults but have softer and brownish plumage overall, although the white band on the tail is narrower. The upperparts are darker brown with scallops and streaks over the head and neck, and the underparts lighter brown. The eyes are dark brown and the bill is dark with a yellow tip. The gape is a prominent yellow. Older birds grow darker until adult plumage is achieved, but juvenile tail markings only change to adult late in development. Birds appear to molt once a year in late summer after breeding.
A Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) executes a flawless mid-air maneuver, wings stretched to their full span and feathers catching the golden light. The perfect arc of its body and the fine detail in its plumage showcase the elegance and agility that make this coastal hunter so captivating to watch.
The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) is a black and white songbird native to Australia and New Guinea. They are known for their distinct black and white plumage, with varying patterns across their range. Males typically have a white nape, upper tail, and shoulders, while females have a grey nape, upper tail, and shoulders.
Photo of the Day â The Egyptian Plover has earned itself the nickname âcrocodile birdâ from its reputation for feeding on decaying meat in the open mouths of crocodiles, although this unusual behavior is not supported by any photographic evidence. We do know however that these birds spend much of their incubation time cooling rather than warming their eggs cool by trailing their downy feathers in water before sitting on the eggs; a very useful adaptation for a species that lives on large rivers across warm tropical sub-Saharan Africa. This gorgeous bird was recently photographed by Rich Lindie on one of our private tours to Ghana.

A fascinating display of the Black Heronâs unique hunting technique, forming its 'umbrella' to cast a shadow over the water and lure fish closer. Captured along The Gambia River, this amazing moment shows nature's brilliance in action.
Laughing Kookaburras are believed to pair for life. The nest is a bare chamber in a naturally occurring tree hollow or in a burrow excavated in an arboreal (tree-dwelling) termite mound.
Both sexes share the incubation duties and both care for the young.
Other Laughing Kookaburras, usually offspring of the previous one to two years, act as âhelpersâ during the breeding season. Every bird in the group shares all parenting duties. Clutch size is 2 to 3 eggs with an incubation period of 25 days. The breeding season is from August to January.
Bathed in warm coastal light, a Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) stands poised in the swirling shallows, wings partly spread for balance as it navigates the rush of water and seaweed. The birdâs posture radiates precision and readiness, perfectly illustrating the grace and focus of a master hunter.
This picture was taken during the Magic Birding and Photography tours at San Jorge de Tandayapa Wildlife Sanctuary. Best photography trips in Latinamerica.

Kookaburras are almost exclusively carnivorous, eating mice, snakes, insects, small reptiles, and the young of other birds. Unlike many other kingfishers, they rarely eat fish, although they have been known to take goldfish from garden ponds. In zoos, they are usually fed food suitable for birds of prey.

A close and calm encounter with a striking male Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula) â captured low from water level with beautiful golden eye contact and lush green bokeh. Photographed during a peaceful moment on a quiet lake in Norway.
Photo of the Day â Ranging across Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua, the Ivory-billed Woodcreeper can be found occupying deciduous forests as well as a vast array of wooded habitats where it unobtrusively flits from tree to tree. Although more often heard than seen, these birds are not particularly shy as illustrated in this photograph taken by Adam Riley in Honduras.

A close-up of a stunning Blue-Breasted Kingfisher, captured on the serene waters of The Gambia River. The vibrant colors and piercing gaze of this beautiful bird make for an unforgettable moment of wildlife photography
Photo of the Day â Another fascinating yet much more endearing bird than yesterdayâs bird of the day is the Red Crossbill which, has earned itself a reputation as the âparrot of the northern woodsâ owing to its distinctive bill. This unique feature allows these birds to more easily extract pine cone seeds, which make up a large part of their diet. Found in North America, Europe and Asia these extraordinary crossbills can be seen acrobatically flitting from cone to cone as they feed. This delightful image was taken by Adam Riley in Bulgaria.
Lampornis castaneoventris.
Got a nice series of this little guy on this perch. He was very cooperative :)
