Winged Wednesday 3/20/2024

[Eric Gofreed]

Continuing the alphabet series, we are now at the letter "L." So, add your images of anything with wings that start with the letter "L" in its name, species, or taxon. Of course, anything with wings is welcome regardless of the letter "L". Here are mine.

Masked Lapwing, Australia

Horned Lark, Arizona

Long-billed Curlew, California

Lawrence's Goldfinch, Arizona

Long-tailed Duck, Utqiagvik, formerly known as Barrow, Alaska

Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Arizona

 

[Trent Watts]

Nice bunch of L's Eric. That Long-tailed Duck took me a minute to see what was happening. It is a spectacular image showing behaviour. Nicely seen. The Curlew was another favourite as well.

Wonderful high-quality bird photography, Ken. I like all three, however, the third photo, the peeking Swann portrait is unique special,

You're blowing my mind. All exceptional photos, Doug. I love the horns on the horned lark. Best I've seen. The Lark sparrow may be our pretties.

As usual I can't match the great photos already posted......but I found an entry. A ladybug on lavender!

Here are a couple of Sea Eagle shots from Lofoten, Norway. So I guess my "L" is for Lofoten.
