Beautiful Image, love the reflection.

Great shots of this little guy!

Well captured Oliver! Beautifull Image

With my I phone. Unfortunately, I was doing bird photos with my long lens and did not want the extra gear of my good camera.

Thought I would Keep a Duck, waterfowl theme with food, A Goldeneye finishing off a crab leg.

Nice Shots Doug! Love the Mallards flying off and love the details on both the Green winged Teal and Mandarin.

Nice Alan, I have tried to shoot in the woods many times and always fallen short when it comes to looking interesting after I get them home. Very nice Image!

Thank you Jim!

Alan, When I was there and previous times, they talk. It is a hum of geese; it ebbs and flows and then it will crescendo to a higher pitched hum. sometimes it just will fall back but when it reaches the highest level it is a signal they will fly. That is the best description I can give you...

Doug, this event was just south of Klamath Falls, I have also experienced similar fly offs in Sacramento River Preserve but This is probably the best photograph I have of this behavior. Usually happens when an Eagle is nearby.

Thanks Alan, yes we all can use a break once and a while from the winter, I see the tops of my Tulips just starting to push up so know intellectually that spring is soon to be here but can use all the encouragement for summer I can get. Beautiful Image, love these gardens!

Thanks Doug, I was looking at those and the beak looked more like it in the drawings what was throwing me off was the black banding on the body.

Eye color in nature intrigues me too, so many different distinct colors and doesn't seem to be a pattern between eyes that dive and raptors and others that do not go into 2 different environments. I think one could do a whole segment on this subject.

my contribution this week is a couple of American oystercatchers running along the beach.
