A little variation on my attempts at getting the "perfect" B&W flower shot, whatever that might be.
Milpitas, California.
I thought Jasper looked particularly fluffy in this shot. And in fact, he is a pretty fluffy boy. Here he is on the trail at Lost Dutchman State Park, concerned that his human mom makes it down the trail OK (she's a trooper, but she's no mountain goat)
A very late downy Moorhen chick. This was probably a replacement clutch after one (or more) failures

A young Currawong sitting on our fence. This little(?) bird is quite a character - a bit timid but very curious. Last week I was sitting on the lounge reading a book and I heard some tapping on the glass door. I turned around and there was this bird trying to work out how to get inside. It didn't expect to see me so it jumped back to the deck railing where one of its parents was waiting.
A juvenile Roseate Spoonbill wetting her bill in the reflecting marsh at sunrise. She just fluffed up her feathers creating the soft look.
Birds puff up their feathers to trap heat next to their body, or to dry out after a bath. They also fluff up their feathers when they are stressed or sick. Or while they are preening. And males may fluff up a bit when they are doing their courtship dancing...This one was seen Early morning on a TV Aerial ..
For weeks now, I've had the wonderful opportunity to see and photograph a Bald Eagle pair as they prepare for breeding season. I've happily seen many different kinds of looks from them and here's another one. He was preening and just decided to shake everything out. He even had a great expression. I hope you're not getting sick of these eagle shots but I can't help myself, LOL. It's like an addiction.

Fluffed-up Titmouse, in my yard in Chester County, PA.
I really enjoy seeing and hearing these Tufted Titmouse busily flitting around my yard, so I was unhappy when they seemed to disappear. It is great that they are now back again but not as frequently perhaps because they are busy nesting.

What a treat to watch a couple of House Finches dry off their feathers in the Lilac tree in our backyard. It had rained in the morning. But then the afternoon was sunny and warm enough to sit on the deck. The female finch was in the bush too. They both snacked on the new buds on my Burning Bush. I wasn’t worried. There are tons of buds to share with them. They were quite relaxed and stayed for a long time before moving on. I am eager for the next visitors to arrive. Possibly the Oriole again this spring? Happy Wing Wednesday!
8 of a family of 9 Mallard ducklings. Their mum was standing on the bank above them.

Another visit to the Wetlands with long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef.
We had sprinkling rain and overcast conditions which was ideal for light - there were a couple of Welcome Swallows that perched nicely and allowed us to get a few close up portraits - hope you like this one!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - most appreciated!
Wishing you a wonderful day and week ahead!
Green Herons are often seen along the trails at Circle B Bar Reserve which is located near Lakeland, Florida. The Green Heron (Butorides striatus) measures 16-22 inches (40-55 cm) from beak-tip to tail-tip. As I prepared for this shot, I had not noticed that its chest feathers were fluffed out and I was pleasantly surprised to see it later.
