I had been photographing this young bull moose (alces alces) while it was feeding in the shallows and I inadvertently knocked an oar against the side of my small fishing boat. The result was instant flight. Photographed at Wolf Lake, Yukon Territory, Canada. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.

This is a female Anna's hummingbird, looking nice and green and maybe even a little plump. I've seen a big increase in hummingbird activity lately. I got chewed out by both males and females today as I checked feeder levels and refilled them. I mean, they got right up in my face, just a few inches from me and chattered at me with aggression. Strongly-worded letter to follow.

Bei unserem Hamburgbesuch durften ein paar Treppen nicht fehlen, war ein wenig wie Schatzsuche..... Adressen hatten wir so in etwa, den richtigen Hauseingang zu finden war aber spannend....

A flock of Ross’s geese takes to the air at the end of the day.
As an afternoon of migratory autumn/winter migratory bird photography runs on into sunset and then twilight, it is inevitable that there will eventually be too little light to photograph the way I might during the daytime. But I usually continue until it is virtually dark — to the point that I may need a headlamp to stow my equipment when I finish. During that final low-light period I often end the cycle of increasing ISO and pushing shutter speed, and instead I drop ISO down to the minimum and let the exposure times lengthen, allowing me to work with motion blur from birds in flight.
We had positioned ourselves near a large flock of geese in a pasture, and they were gradually become more restless, beginning to take off in small groups and depart for parts unknown. Groups tend to depart together, and as they do they rise, with little or no warning, en masse and take to the air. It is hard to say what makes a photograph “realistic,” but I often feel that these masses of blurry birds may suggest the quality of these departing flocks at least as truthfully as stop-motion photographs.

A female Mallard drops out of the sky and prepares to land at North Point. That white patch above the bird is a charter fishing boat out on Lake Michigan.
Enjoy!

We've had some hot weather lately and that always brings out the termites. This particular morning they were gathering in the millions (and then some) in the gently swirling eddies below the clifftops. Would they show up in a photo? Only one way to find out. This is only a minute part of the whole. The numbers are beyond imagining.

On my motorhome tour around Skye I saw Golden Eagles, Porpoises and Red Squirrels for the first time in the wild but this was the only noteworthy wildlife shot that I came away with!
I got as close as I could to this Hooded Crow, which are numerous on Skye although I never saw a regular Carrion Crow, and captured the moment it took flight from the harbour railing. Captured at Portree Harbour on The Isle of Skye, Scotland.
I just fancied uploading something a bit different today - enjoy!
