Winged Wednesday 6/5/2024

[Eric Gofreed]

Today's Winged Wednesday we're continuing the alphabet project and today's letter is "W." So, add your images of anything with wings that start with the letter "W" in its name, species, or taxon. Of course, anything with wings is welcome regardless of the letter. Next week we will end the alphabet series with the letter "Y."

Western Bluebirds, Arizona

Cedar Waxwing, Arizona

Canyon Wren, Arizona

White-eyed Eastern Towhee, Florida

Whimbrel

Wrybill, New Zealand. The only bird we know of that has a side-ways bending bill and it always bends to the right

I wish I had taken your photos, Trent. The Whooping cranes, the pileated, and the wren with a bug are awesome. I've photographed the orange crown numerous times and never captured the orange crown,
