BirdWatching’s top Instagram posts from 2021

With the end of the year upon us, we’re excited to share our top Instagram posts from 2021 based on the number of viewers they reached. 

These photos were all featured as Photos of the Day on our social media pages throughout the year. We select our Photos of the Day from our Reader Galleries and share them on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages. Thanks to the many talented photographers who share their images in our galleries and to the tens of thousands of people who follow our social accounts! (If you’re not already a BirdWatching follow, simply follow the links above to join us!)
