Continuing the alphabet series, we are now at the letter "O." So, add your images of anything with wings that start with the letter "0" in its name, species, or taxon. Of course, anything with wings is welcome regardless of the letter "O".

We seem to have a common thread of Oyster Catchers today and that is what I have as well. Interesting to see the various markings of these birds in different parts of the planet. This shot is from Harris Beach State Park along the Oregon coast.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Streaked-backed Oriole

Fabulous photo, Ken. Momma seems to be smiling and so proud of her adorable three chicks.

A truly remarkable collection, Douglas. I love the Olive warbler photo and the osprey chick who seems to be saying, "A stick? dam it I want fish!!!"
