You can just see the pilot as he concentrates to bring this Cessna Citation Longitude in to land at Houston’s West Side Airport. This is a business jet produced by Cessna, part of the Cessna Citation family. The Model 700 made its first flight on October 8, 2016.
The meadow pipit is a common nesting bird of moorland, heathland and rough grassland. In the autumn and winter, it moves out of upland areas to lowlands where it gathers in small flocks and can be found on farmland and saltmarshes. In the spring, it performs a fluttering, 'parachute' display flight. There are 2 million breeding territories in the UK.
On moorlands, meadow pipits are the most common 'foster parents' of young cuckoos. The adult cuckoo will lay a single egg in a meadow pipit's nest. After hatching, the cuckoo chick will push the other eggs or young birds out of the nest, giving its foster parents more time to concentrate on feeding their new, oversized chick.
I spent some time today witnessing one of the most remarkable waterfowl sights in the whole world. Somewhere between 10,000 - 15,000 tundra swans are staging right here in the Upper Mississippi River before heading east to Chesapeake Bay for the winter. I took video footage on my smartphone to add some sound, which is sensational, but then I wasn't smart enough to get it on Flickr. Sorry.
Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta)
So intent on scanning the water it paid no attention to us as my mate Gil and I walked along the boardwalk.
I love to watch Terns negotiate their landing spots. They need to find a spot within the other shorebirds on the rocks and it takes full concentration. The background is the water. The shot was taken very early in the morning.
The shot below is a close-up of its head and feet which show its intense focus.

Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta)
The resident Egret at the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands was so intent on its hunt that it didn't notice me.
Just concentrating on setting this carby up ready for a test and tune day on the morning of race day.

Great Egret (Ardea alba) hunting for prey at Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve in Lee County, Florida, USA.
Gasteruptiid Wasp (family Gasteruptiidae (subfamily Gasteruptiinae)) female
Usually these Wasps will fly off if I get within five feet of them. This Lady, however, was so engrossed she allowed me to get in very close for a number of shots. I chose this one for today for the Eyes of March Two group.
Happy Eyes of March!
I marvelled at the Tricolored Heron's (Egretta tricolor) uncanny ability to concentrate on the task at hand... stealthily stalking and motionlessly waiting for an opportunity to strike its prey. They also move rapidly and use their wings (similar to Reddish Egrets) when fishing in shallow waters. Copyright © Kim Toews/All Rights Reserved.

No real reason for being away so long, we've just been doing other things. Well, Dad has been doing other things, I'm doing what I always do.

For me to get things done, I have to concentrate on one thing at a time. Sometimes it works, but I'm still trying to figure out this new camera, even been tempted to go back to the D40, but I'm forcing myself to stick with it. Concentrate, Karen!!
Met this squirrel today. Unfortunately I had only 50.0 mm lens... It was impossible to get closer.
PS. One more photo in the comments!!!
