Typed "ghost birds" in my photo search on a whim and pulled the first several results together:

Collage of nine photos all showing glowy, eerie, ghost-lit photos of various birds, some just in black and white, others filtered to emphasize their hauntedness: 1. A leucistic peacock perched up on a wooden ladder as shown through a flashingly white bar of intervening light. 2. The silhouette of a black phoebe sitting on one of a series of branches that reach like a skeletal hand across a lake speckled with tiny black flies like television snow. 3. A small, white egret feather waving from the near-silhouette of a wild rose bush like a solitary ghost amongst the dark beads of rose hip. 4. A close-up of a great egret backlit by brilliant sunlight and vignetted by white. 5. A stark silhouette of a berry- and twig-knotted bird nest backlit by a filter glow to emphasize the match of the nest to the surrounding twiglets on its hosting branch. 6. A close-up photo of a starling bowing eir head, eir eyes lidded only with eir nictitating lens so e looks sinister rather than sleepy. 7. A dreamy black and white photo of dozens of great egrets up in the windy heights of a cluster of pines, looking more like ghosts or a ghost's collection of waving handkerchiefs hung on the branches in lovely tatters. 8. A pale sepia photo of a goldfinch perched in tall grasses and overexposed by a backlight of brilliant white sunlight. 9. The silhouette of a ruby-crowned kinglet taking flight from a row of leaves like miniature trees in silhouette.
