I regularly see Blue Jays flying high overhead carrying an acorn or two in their beaks above Horsepen Bayou but I have never before seen one foraging at water level. This one was well hidden until a break in the clouds put a brief spotlight on it deep in the reeds along the shoreline.
A small finch endemic to the himalayan forests and to South Asia found in the Himalayas and parts of Myanmar. This is a small bird maybe around 12-14 cms and always seen in flocks. This is the female, the male has no streaks on the breast area /underside and more less colorful. Sighted around 15+ foraging on the hillside next to our homestay. They were foraging on the ground in the step farms on the hillside and were impossible to sight. I accidentally stumbled upon them and managed this shot after they landed on a nearby pine tree.
The birds are altitudinal migrants and move to lower altitudes during winters from around 2500-2700 m to about 1300 m in India. There are reports of them going down to about 300 m as well (not in India though). These prefer the montane forests and eat a variety of insects, seeds of pine, alder, thistle, daisies etc.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback. Much appreciated.

Autumn has officially begun and it won't be too long before I can wander through the forest and explore the color that will soon begin to show, such beautiful reds, golds, blues...breathtaking really! And, as you can see I am not the only one enamored with light! This was such a fantastic day spent foraging for light in the woods...

Green Jays do a fair amount of ground foraging by turning leaves. In trees they are known to use sticks to pry up loose bark to expose insects, making them one of the few North American birds to employ tools.
Large gulls seem to be endlessly foraging for food. In this instance the Lesser Blacked Gull photographed here in Blakeney Cut a channel that effectively creates an island near Blakeney has found a crab. I don't suppose it will satisfy its hunger for too long though.
Horned Lark foraging in the snow covered Amish cornfields near Honeybrook.
I like this shot because the little horns and the very long hind claw are visible.

A small Armored-Resin Bees (Osminii bee Genus Heriades, Subgenus Neotrypetes) foraging on Swamp Milkweed. (3/8 in) Home, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. 7 August 2022

Heriades is a genus of bee in the family Megachilidae. Fairly small and usually black, they are found all over the world. There are more than 130 species worldwide, roughly 25 species in North and Central America, but only 3 species are native east of the Rocky Mountains. European species such as H. truncorum can be found on the east coast of the US. Like other bees in the tribe Osmiini, Hoplitis and Ashmeadiella, they nest in cavities in wood excavated by other insects, or perhaps occasionally pine cones.[1] They separate the cells of their nest with resin (most of the time).[2] [3][4][5]
A few squirrels foraging through the snow-covered sunflower seed husks for food. Luckily the birds on the feeder above have knocked some down for them.
These were taken through the window at work. The platform bird feeders are filled with only sunflower seeds so the squirrels get their fair share too.
The time to see Abdim's stork (white bellied stork) in Tanzania is the dry, non-breeding season from Oct-April when it forages for insects in the dry savanna grasses. It is the smallest of the storks and it migrates north of the equator during its breeding season for the remainder of the year. Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

As I walk through the forest, I hear that sweet song that can’t be mistaken by non other than the white-throated sparrow. It takes a break from foraging and I snap its photo…
