Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird - Backyard Bird, Boothbay Harbor, Maine
I had to get out the flash for these, 'cause high ISO grain doesn't work well with tiny subjects.
An the dark BG doesn't look too bad, if you think of it a a shadowy, woodsy background.
Ring-billed Gull splashing and wing flapping while bathing. South end of Blackstrap Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada. 10 July 2021
A rufous-naped lark (Corypha africana) in Masai Mara last year. (Rufous means reddish brown in colour, and the nape is the back of the neck.)
I think it's one of the birds I have seen and heard the most while driving on the savanna, often standing on top of mounds on the ground.
It has a sweet, simple and loud song of 3-5 notes, and often does a wing flapping display at the same time, like on this photo.
It is a widespread species of lark, in the lightly wooded grasslands, open savannas and farmlands of the Afrotropics.
(Melankolilerke in Norwegian)

It seems that after a loon has a preening session, they will usually flap their wings. Don't know what purpose it serves, but it makes for a nice photo op!
Male Hooded Merganser at Viera Weltands. I love these guys. At one time, there were 5 males and 2 females....but they stayed hidden much of the time.

Here's a photo of Victoria's Downtown Empress hotel. This shot uses symmetry in a nice with, with the building itself being symmetrical, but the flag only flapping in 1 direction. I think this shot turned out well, comment any of your thoughts!
This Great Shearwater (Puffinus gravis) prepares to hit the water astern of our boat, its eyes on a tasty morsel bobbing in our wake. #443 in Explore, Sept. 1, 2015.
A male Eider duck (Somateria mollissima). Best viewed Large.
Nice walk from Lymington down towards Keyhaven and back for lunch at the The Mayflower. Pity Environment Agency workers were destroying almost all the mature gorse leaving little cover and breeding sites for Dartford warblers.
Today's Facebook archive selection are all of Dave The (Red Throated) Diver who spent from at least Christmas Day 2012 until early January 2015 in City Quay, Dundee because of a damaged outer wing (which can be seen in some of these photos). 'Dave' seems to have been a young bird when he got injured and moved on (?) the winter after reaching full breeding plumage. I was responsible for the name 'Dave The Diver' which seemed to stick with quite a few birders/photographers. On days when I couldn't get motivated to go too far for some birding I'd pop down to check up on and photograph Dave.
