It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether they’re soaring, hovering, gliding, or simply posing where the light is best, we want to see your favorite winged wonders. Birds, bugs, bats, butterflies, dragonflies, or anything else with wings—if it flies, it qualifies.
Eric is not back yet so I’m posting for Winged Wednesday today.
It is the time of year when birds are working hard at keeping the species alive. Here are a few images showing success.
This is a Eurasian Coot with two babies seen in the Netherlands when on a cycling tour many years ago.
A common Raven nested in a local park a few years ago. I lived ½ block from the park so went nearly every day to watch as the young developed.
For many years Peregrine Falcons have nested at the top of a building in Saskatoon. I was fortunate to be asked to go to the top and capture the young and the parents. Here you can see 4 fluffy balls tucked in the corner of a ledge 20 some stories high.
Same spot but a few years later with young a bit older.
A Long-eared Owl nested in a neighbour’s tree last year. Many people followed the young as they fledged and eventually left the area. There were 4 young but only three were on this branch quite inquisitive about my presence.
