Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds beginning with a “G” In The Title

Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds That Eat Fish as Their Primary Diet

Week #39 of the Bird Weekly Photo Challenge is birds that eat fish as their primary diet. Some of my photos this week have been in other blogs, not necessarily Bird Weekly, but some are being recycled specifically for this challenge. Not all my birds were caught eating fish, but they are fish eaters. You do not have to show your fishing eating birds in the act.

Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Birds with Long Wingspans

Happy 2021 everyone! Our first Bird Weekly Photo Challenge for the new year! We had some great birding in 2020 despite the challenges the world is facing with the pandemic, economy and job loss.

Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Long legged Birds

Long-legged birds tend to have a pronounced strut when they walk. Long legs are something I know nothing about since I’m only 5′ 1″ tall. I related much better to the short-legged bird challenge.

Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Macro/Close-Ups

Macro photography is close-up photography of small subjects. Mostly bugs and flowers get the spotlight, but today we are doing it on Bird Weekly. Macro is an extreme close-up, but for this post, any close-up will do. I know many of you don’t have a macro lens and that is okay.

Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge – Yellow or Orange Legged Birds

Lesser Yellowlegs fishing at St. Marks Wildlife Refuge

Because they are long-distance migrating birds, they have to fatten themselves up during the off seasons to have enough fuel to get to their breeding grounds. Failure to get enough nutrient will find these birds not making it to the breeding or wintering grounds.

Egret’s Reflection

Great Egret looking for a fish in the swamp of Lettuce Lake Park, Tampa, Florida.

Photo of this Great Egret was taken at Lettuce Lake Park in Tampa, Florida where the Hillsborough River flows into the nooks & crannies of the Cypress swamp of the county park. The park is filled with all kinds of wildlife including insects such as butterflies, birds, turtles, alligators and so much more.
