Birds are part of everyone's lives. The beautiful plumages of feathers, ranging from those of the muted pastel greys and yellows of the Warbling Vireo to the iridescent Sparkling Violet-ear hummingbird. They are attractive and detailed, perfect subjects for photography.

To showcase birds in all their feathered glory, I bring you The Daily Feather. It will feature one photo per day. It may be of a plain bird or a vivid bird, but each is beautiful in its own way. I hope you will enjoy my photographs!

#13: Spotted Sandpiper


Nonbreeding Spotted Sandpiper
Taken August 25, 2010, Bob-O-Link Golf Course, OH USA



(Isn't the name of the golf course fitting for a bird sighting? If you don't know, a Bobolink is a real bird. )



Fun fact: The female can store sperm up to one month; the brood may be cared for by one male but fathered by another.
