Two tufted titmice in flight. One tuftie is just taking off, its wings spread wide but its toes are still in contact with the branch. That's great split-second timing! The photographer is Mark Olsen.
On the right, the second bird has completely left its branch. Love those curled-up toes! The photographer is Jeff Rosenberg.
Note that with both birds, their crests are plastered down on their heads so they're aerodynamically rounded and don't have have the characteristic "cone" shape. While some tufties do fly with their crests partially up, more often, they use their pointy heads as communication and aggression signals to other birds: "Leave my food alone!" "The exit from my territory's that way!" or "What is this strange thing I'm looking at?!" which is sometimes done when encountering a camera lens on a feeder. Normally, tufties are cheerful and social little birds, but when the crest very sharply goes way up, it can be a way of signaling irritation.
Again, photographer on the left is Mark Olsen. Photographer on the right is Jeff Rosenberg.

Well, here's a stunner: an albino American crow! You can tell it's albino and not leucistic because of the color of the eyes and beak. If we could see them, the legs, feet, and talons would be pink as well. 🤍 🤍 🩷 🤍 🤍

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.

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. 🟤 ⚪ ⚫

Ohhhh, my 🤎 !!!
The ultimate borb of a birb: a Golden-Crowned Kinglet. Not sure if this is a male or female, as both have the crown. 🤎 🤍 🖤 🧡 💛 👑 🟤 ⚪ ⚫ 🟠 🟡
Kinglets are nervous, twitchy birds that fly off the moment you think you have them in focus, so this is an incredible capture.
The European equivalent would be a Goldcrest, although there are some minor differences.

A puffin chick, called a "puffling," ventures out of its burrow. 🩶 🤍 🖤 As an adult, it will develop an adult's wide, colorful beak and smooth, bright black-and-white feathers, but for the moment, it is still sporting fuzzy grey down and is barely identifiable as a puffin.

Quail Day! 😊 🥰 😘
Here we have King Quails... although wouldn't the female then be a Queen Quail? 🤔 They do have other names, like the Chinese Painted Quail or Blue-Breasted Quail (despite the fact that only the male has a blue breast). The female is bigger than the male, and they don't have the head plumes that many other quails sport. But they are gorgeous!

3. Female and Male (bottom R) -- photographer unknown.
