Another of the Red-bellied juveniles was doing acrobatics to get at some bark butter in the backyard area. It was hard to resist getting shots of these, as they are providing some interesting poses.

wonderful acrobatics of both bird species at Pagham Harbour
A 'scuffle' which lasted a good 5 minutes or so eventually saw off the crows.
Some serious acrobatics had to be performed for this shot! Well, at least to my standards :-)

Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla)
Seven Islands State Birding Park, Tennessee, U.S.A.
This small songbird thrives in shrubby fields and open grasslands, feeding on both seeds and insects. It migrates short distances within eastern North America, wintering in the southern U.S. Despite its cheerful “bouncing ball” song, Field Sparrow numbers have sadly dropped over 60% since the 1960s, making it a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in several states.
According to the IUCN Red List, the Field Sparrow has an estimated 9,300,000 mature individuals with a population trend that is decreasing.
IUCN Red List Assessment (2020): Least Concern
Butterfly courtship happens with lightning speed approach by the male and fast wing fluttering by the female. Male azure is on the left, female on the right. In this case mating did not follow.
Summer Azure (Celastrina neglecta) Kent County, Maryland
I was at my friends place when I saw this little bird hanging upside down on one of the Banksias.
Not sure what it is but I am sure someone will know.
A Bohemian Waxwing enjoys a few berries on a snowy day at the Beaver Trail in Ottawa. They seem to like the berries just fine. I tried a few myself but I didn't think they were very good. Then I fell out of the tree.
We have several Cooper's hawks in the neighborhood these days, hunting in our yards, screaming from the trees and chasing each other in the air. Not sure if they are all juveniles that recently fledged?
Small bridges made from bamboos are a common sight across Bangladesh. Numerous canals and rivers scour through the flatlands, and building permanent bridges is not an ideal solution due to the everchanging courses of these canals and rivers. Using bamboos is much more economical.
But why use only one thin bamboo? I have no clue at all.

I was surprised what I saw when I got home and opened the photos I took today. This gull was preening in midair! I had no idea they could do that!
Would this be similar to texting while driving?
Have a wonderful New Week, everyone! STAY SAFE!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!

The Cedar Waxwings have been in full invasion mode on our holly trees this month. This one looks as if she is doing a somersault to get to the berries.

We have had a few days of showers, one day we had a massive storm with hail almost the size of golf balls and today was a beautiful day, but so windy.
Too windy for photos, so here is one from September.
The swallows have had a good year here. As each brood fledges they move from being fed on a perch to being fed in the air - something that I cannot catch no matter how often I try. There are droves still here. The day before Storm Ali I counted 50 on the power lines all preening. The owner of what was the derelict farm down the lane is beginning to demolish some of sheds this week - I am hoping he leaves some for them to nest in next year!
A demonstration of creative skill at the dolphin show at Kobe Sea World in Japan.
I posted this photo because I like the artistic formation of the trainers and dolphins; however, I realize it is controversial and there are ethical considerations regarding keeping dolphins in captivity and using dolphins for entertainment.
A cylindromyia dipter doing acrobatics.
This photo was taken in the Utxesa natural park in Lleida (Spain), a paradise of biodiversity.
I used an external flash manually configured to 1/32 and remotely triggered from the camera.
