#BirdOfTheDay : des oiseaux ayant l'air de mauvaise humeur #MoodyFaces
Ce moineau friquet me fait penser à un petit papi grognon "d'mon temps l'eau était moins froide!"

Un moineau friquet de trois-quarts face. Il se tient dans une coupelle en terre cuite contenant un peu d'eau. Il a gonflé les plumes de son ventre et bombe un peu le torse en tournant la tête dans la direction de l'objectif, ce qui lui donne l'air d'un Aldo Maccione à plumes. Derrière lui, on voit un pot de fleurs en terre cuite rectangulaire d'où dépassent quelques brins d'herbe verte. L'oiseau est éclairé par les rayons du soleil sur sa droite et son ombre est projetée dans la coupelle. L'ambiance est ensoleillée, colorée et contrastée.

Fluffed up yellow and white bird, perched on a bare branch and looking into the camera

Today I met two fluffy pigeons at the entrance to a supermarket with #MoodyFaces #BirdOfTheDay #Borbs #birds 🪶 #photography #Dortmund

A puffed-up city pigeon sits on dirty pavement and peers up at the photographer.

Era un pezzo che il meteo non ci dava l'illusione di un clima normale. Tre piccoli amici in omaggio.

It had been a while since the weather gave us the illusion of a normal climate. Three little friends as bonus.

Like a drunk in a midnight choir.
I have tried in my way to be free … 🎶”

A photo of a male Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) in low, orangish-hued evening light with out of focus leaves in front of it giving it a hazy green-gold look. It is perched on a thin, bare, curving branch with its eyes closed and its beak partially open like it's snoring. Its feathers are fluffed out so it looks a bit round. It has iridescent magenta and gold colored feathers on its head and throat.

For @robcrank68.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy 's #BirdoftheDay, #Borbs, birds looking around, I'll share my favourite little wader, a Least Sandpiper, sheltering on the rocks at hide tide and looking around. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Photography

A Least Sandpiper, shot from the back, with its head turned to the right so its right eye is visible. The smallest wader with beautiful shading across the feathers.

Since #BirdOfTheDay themes today are #Borbs & #Black birds (alt), and since I'm caught up with work, I'll share (reshare?) one of my favourite art work. (also my entry for Day 5 of #ArtAdventCalendar) 🪶 #nature #BirdArt #EastCoastKin #TradArt #BSNM Sticker? www.inprnt.com/gallery/luci...

I'm loving on quails these day! 🤎 🤍 🩶 🖤

I didn't realize that the California Quail is the state bird of California. Like... duh? 🤣

Here are two lovely quorbs. The first is a female, her picture taken by a Bird Buddy feeder.

The second is a stately male showing off his quorbness and beautiful black plume. I do not know the photographer.

A very round female California Quail has lunch at a Bird Buddy feeder, which has taken her picture.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #round birds. There were a lot of borbs last time it snowed in Portland. Three of these are #sparrows, too. 📷🌿🪶

A photo of a male Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna), a tiny iridescent green bird with a pale gray belly and iridescent magenta-hued chin & head feathers, perched on the end of a bare branch, rather fluffed up and rounded.

A photo of a fat little song sparrow (Melospiza melodia) perched on the edge of a snow-dusted yellow bird feeder.

A photo of a golden-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia atricapilla) resting on the top of a snow-covered fence with some snowflakes on the end of its beak, looking a bit poofy and round.

A photo of a dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis) standing on the top of a snow-covered fence with its feet buried by snow, looking rather spherical.

While looking for more #Quails I came across a company calls Replacements that fills in discontinued designs in your china and silver and crystal and all kinds of wonderful things. I purchased the following two items because I COULDN'T RESIST! The design is called Quail Blue by Furnivals, and I got a 4-cup coffee pot plus a cup and saucer. Here they are.

A tall white coffee pot with a blue pattern of quails foraging in the grass, surrounded by trees and flowers and other plants. The knob on the lid looks like it's in the shape of a quail.

The pattern is called Quail Blue, by Furnivals. It has been discontinued. I purchased this piece from a company called Replacements, Ltd.

A white cup and saucer, with a pattern of blue quails foraging in the grass, surrounded by trees, flowers, and other plants.

The cup has a pattern of quails on the inside rim, too.

How can you look at this [female] California Quail and not fall in love? Such a beautiful example of avian borbulosity, with that cute little plume on top. 🟤 ⚪ ⚫
