Sense.
How do some bird species sense food in mud or sand underwater. A juvenile Red Knot feeding on the Lake Huron shoreline in Southampton, Ontario, Canada. The bird had stopped off on its way south for the winter.

This is a male Black-throated Blue Warbler pretending it’s a Baltimore Oriole by eating the grape jelly in an Oriole feeder. Photographed in the spring on the South Bruce Peninsula. It fed and rested for a couple of days before moving on.
July Squares: (Eurasian) Blue Tits.
A contribution to Becky’s July Squares: Blue photo challenge.
Having posted a grumpy Great Blue Heron as part of the challenge it didn’t occur to me how many birds there are with blue in their common English names until writing this post. Expect to see a few more bird species before the end of the month.
An adult Eurasian Blue Tit feeding young with a caterpillar. When the photo was taken they were simply Blue Tits and they had a different scientific name.

This is my contribution to the Cosmic Photo Challenge: Eat, Drink and Be Merry.
A story of a Great Blue Heron on the Colpoy’s Bay shoreline, Ontario, Canada. All the photos are of the same bird taken over about 40 minutes although I did shuffle the order they were taken in to fit the challenge.
Eat. The Great Blue Heron has just caught and swallowed a small fish.
Drink. Actually the bird is striking after a fish but they probably swallow water sometimes.
Be Merry. Amusement about the Closed To Fishing sign.
