Steps and perches

A brown-and-white shorebird raises one of its yellow legs in the Egyptian-hierograph style of walking

A large bird, black on top and white beneath, stands in water, its broad wings raised; its bill is bright orange-red near its face and black farther out, and the lower bill projects far beyond the upper one

A small bird with a white belly, a brindled back, and a light rufous wash on the front of its neck is swimming in water

A large predator bird, wings dipping down in flight, with a hooked beak and a dark eyeline

A small shorebird with a russet-brown back, a clear white belly, and yellowish legs inspects marsh surface for insects to eat

A bunny, pink ears up and flexed, pauses on a sidewalk, with its front paws just barely touching the ground

A close-up of a small perched bird with a gray face, a neat white eyering, a green cap, two white wingbars, and a white belly, as well as a grub in its beak

A small bird with an orange-and-russet face and a streaked breast leans over from its perch

A small yellow bird stretches up its neck as it looks skyward, while perched in a tree with lime-green leaves and samaras

A hummingbird with a white belly and a green cap sits at the end of a zigzag branch

A gray squirrel stands on its hind legs, its paws folded in over its belly, and looks to the side

A close-up of a small bird with a yellow eyebrow, a dark triangular patch on its cheek, and delicate streaking on the sides of its chest

A bird with a large gray head, a yellow belly, and reddish tailfeathers eyes the camera, while perched

A small black-and-white bird stands on a tree branch in profile, hit by the sun

A column of dirt particles and vegetation debris, kicked in the air by a just-departed warbler
