Great-tailed grackle prepared for landing
I'm getting desperate for birds to photograph in my neck of the world

Osprey Mom coming in for a landing. She was watching her newly fledged youngsters zipping around in the skies and I swear she was hollering at them to slow down and be careful. I think her exact words may have been translated into ... Dont make me come up there!!..... and then she took off just to let them know she wasnt bluffing! lol!! In this frame she is on return to the nest and shortly after one of the youngsters came in for a landing too... lol!!
under the imaginary spotlight.
After reading a good bit of the input, with regard to Explore, then i am not totally sure that this image qualifies,
however, i am keen to learn, know more and maybe be more actively aware,

A Wood Stork coming in for a landing (virtually over my head)
From Florida Audubon
The Wood Stork is one of Florida’s signature wading birds, a long-legged, awkward-looking bird on land that soars like a raptor in the air.
Wood Stork
Like many Florida birds associated with wetlands, the Wood Stork has suffered from the destruction and degradation of our state’s wetlands. Today, the Wood Stork is classed “Threatened” by the State of Florida and the federal government.
It feeds in shallow water, stirring the bottom with its unlikely pink feet and snapping up small prey that are unlucky enough to encounter the bird’s sensitive bill. They nest in early spring, just in time for the traditional season of lowest water when prey items will be concentrated in shrunken wetlands, providing good hunting so the storks can feed their young.
Now, we have altered the natural cycle of high and low water in our wetlands and Wood Storks often can’t find enough food for their young, who eventually succumb to starvation.
How Audubon is Helping
Everglades Restoration: the Everglades is a historical feeding and nesting ground for Wood Storks. By restoring the river of grass, we will ensure there will always be places for storks to feed, nest and raise their young.
Lake Okeechobee Recovery: Wood Storks forage in and nest around this beleagured big lake. Cleaning up the lake will help storks and a suite of other animals, as well as the Everglades itself.
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary: This Audubon Sanctuary in Southwest Florida protects one of the state’s largest Wood Stork rookeries. Audubon actively manages the sanctuary for the storks’ benefit, and we advocate for their feeding grounds downstream.
There is a large rookery at Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
The largest group I've ever seen is at Harris Neck in Georgia - there they ride the thermals together many hundreds at a time. They also have a rookery there.

To really appreciate the depth, press L and zoom into the picture to see the mossy rocks and large tree trunks as the water cascades top to bottom.
Have a wonderful new Year!

Between the summit of Goatfell and its northern neighbour lies the Stacach Ridge. There are 2 choices, choose the less exposed path and skirt round the edge or go directly over the top. Having done both routes, I can say that your individual skill and the weather conditions will play the biggest factors on which route to take.
This route is not for the faint hearted. Most of the people standing on the summit will not come this way, there are faster and less risky routes. But for those seasoned walkers, climbers and explorers, sometimes you need that extra bit of excitement to get you there, and this ridge certainly provides that.

After floating and breaking up, this once much larger iceberg would soon disappear in the waters of southern Greenland. Taken from a zodiac on a relatively lovely summer day.
The setting sun gives a last glow to trees and a hut. The mountains of the Surselva, Switzerland provide a backdrop.
