the crowned eagle (stephanoetus coronatus) is a lifer sighting.
to find a couple is a real privilege.
for years I was haunted by the dream to meet the most powerful african eagle.
a bit smaller than martial eagle is considered stronger and surely more aggressive than the savannah cousin.
crowned eagles are now rare and always elusive.they stay usually hidden and hunt in the forest like a huge goshawk.those raptors prey mainly on mammals of medium /big size (till small antelopes of 30/40kgs) ,monitors and sometimes big birds but....they are specialized on monkeys.monkeys have pratically 4 hands with opposable fingers and it means they can damage the vital feathers of the predator before to die.
this is why the crowned eagle is equipped with incomparable weapons.
two opposable talons are very big and large.the eagles use it to pierce the skull of the prey to kill it instantly.
crowned eagles are famous to be also cooperative hunters, this is why my title ,"double trouble".
shot at big distance,bad light(almost backlight) ,duplicator and high iso.....next time will be better:-)

Perfectly still water gave me a fantastic double sunset.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)
Their bright orange head and bill make them a standout among other ducks. We were so excited to photograph two at once. The Common Merganser is a fish-eating duck that rides low in the water on freshwater lakes and rivers. The female Common Merganser has a solid gray body with a reddish-brown head. She has a narrow, red, serrate bill and white chin-patch at the base of the lower mandible.
Another shot of one of the pretty mountain lakes of Macun. It's a rather longish hike, all in all, but I can't wait to go there again.
This is such an elegant mirror that is quite proportional to the room it is in! Have a wonderful Sunday.
Azure-shouldered Tanager - Not globally threatened. Currently considered Near-threatened. Occurs mainly inside humid forest and is less able to utilize forest edge and second growth than are most others in the genus, a factor that has contributed to its severe range contraction and fragmentation following deforestation. Believed to be in decline. Possibly occurs in only relatively few areas outside protected sites. birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/azstan1

I was set up in the alley to get some shots of people passing by when all of the sudden a guy comes running down the alley with a car behind him. Being an idiot photographer, I keep shooting and don't get out of the way. I end up with three shots of the guy running, none of which alone really tells the story. Thanks to the miracle of photoshop, I have added the last shot of the figure into the first shot of the sequence. I normally only use photoshop for slight exposure adjustments and minor cropping but I could not help myself in this case. FYI the car turned on to the street and the guy was an accountant running to catch a train. Nothing sinister all.
Because of their shape, Double Late Tulips are also known as peony-flowered tulips. The flowers, which are always large and double, can easily reach a span of 4 in. across (10 cm). Some cultivars are sweetly fragrant. Blooming in late spring, these tulips introduce charm and romance in the garden with their multi-petalled flowers! ...
The gangly Double-crested Cormorant is a prehistoric-looking, matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon, they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North America—perhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks, rocky islands, and channel markers, their wings spread out to dry. These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish.

Cypripedium calceolus (Gelber Frauenschuh, Lady's slipper orchid) Karlschütt, Steiermark, Austria. I noticed a lot of double-headed lady's slippers this year, but maybe they were there every year anyway.
Enjoying a nature walk, past a few semi-wooded fields, I came across these two-coloured tulips – so unexpected, so vibrant! Amongst the trees and the various grasses, these red and yellow tulips stuck out like beacons in an otherwise green and untended landscape. I wonder who it was that one day decided to plant those bulbs out there!
