Theme: One Last Flight — The Final Wingbeat of 2025
It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether they’re zipping, swooping, sunbathing, or just striking a sassy pose, we want to see your favorite winged wonders. Birds, bugs, bats, or butterflies—if it’s got wings, it’s fair game!
As we close the chapter on 2025, this week’s theme is: “One Last Flight”
Not every takeoff is graceful. Not every landing is planned. But every winged creature has its moment—and this is theirs. From full-blown flight shots to quiet pre-launch stretches or heroic hops, we’re celebrating the last flaps of the year.
Sneak Peek: January 7, 2026 – Prettiest Birds You’ve Captured
Next week’s theme? Prettiest Birds. Think showstoppers. Head-turners. That could mean stunning color, elegant posture, showy feathers, or just the kind of beauty that made you stop and whisper, “Whoa.”
Whether it’s iridescence, symmetry, lighting, or attitude—if you thought, “That’s one of the best-looking birds I’ve ever photographed,” it belongs here.
Great Egret : Fish meets bad luck. Egret meets dinner.
Lazuli Buntings Fighting
When two flashes of blue and cinnamon square off, it’s less of a disagreement and more of an operatic feud in feathers. No need for referees—just a perch, a puffed chest, and plenty of attitude.
The Red-breasted Merganser hen launches like a low-flying missile, powered by orange flippers and pure intent. With every splash behind her, she's rewriting the rules of water travel—because running on water isn't just for prophets and coots.
The Rufous Hummingbird whole world is feathers, nectar, and fighting for turf.
The Yellowjacket doesn’t care—it just wants nectar and has the weaponry to take it.
Green-winged Teal: Some birds don’t need to pose—they just arrive. And sometimes, like this Teal, they also flee.
