One of the highlights of our recent trip to Sacramento NWR was watching this Northern Harrier hunting. She repeatedly swooped and flushed the ducks below.
Considering how rare they became it felt quite lucky and thrilling to accidentally bump into this beautiful male Hen harrier, hunting over the Zeeland polders. Although usually migrating to southern Europe and north Africa, a number of birds spend the winter in the Netherlands. Estimations of wintering birds range from 400 to 800 species (for 2013-2015). Only a dozen pairs breed in the Netherlands. In any case, the situation is still better there than in the UK where they are hunted to the brink of extinction.
The first part of its scientific name "circus" refers to the particular manner of hunting, often flying in circles as could be seen from this guy.

On a house hunting trip from New York to Michigan we had the treat of a late season snow fall. It made for an enjoyable set of houses to view. We did not purchase any of the houses we saw that day but we saw this barn while driving to one of the listings. I stopped the car and started taking pictures. Our realtor was entertained by it as she has never had a client do that before.
Hunting Island State Park is in miles east of Beauford, SC......At one time there were many private cabins in the island......I believe this is the only one not destroyed by high beach erosion......A number of the "Forrest Gump" scenes were filmed on and around the lagoon in the inland center.....The light house is still intact.The island stills holds the record for largest mosquito I have encountered.....
I only shoot birds with my camera, and I didn't like the gunfire around me, but I found these guys quite fashionable.
I walked on land belonging to the Gjorslev Estate, which was built by a bishop in 1396. Part of the area is open to the public.

Heron on the Isle of Wight pond on Bookham Common on the lookout for any passing lunch . I once saw about twenty heron in flight over this pond ( see shot in first comment box ) , it was quite a sight but weather conditions prevented any sort of a decent capture . There is/was a heronry very close to the pond , but since some issues with water levels and a sluice being replaced I have not seen the herons in large numbers these days .
Picturesque framing of great egrets hunting in a rich intertidal ecosystem, algae-covered rocks and tide pools.
These birds are characterized by their entirely white plumage, long legs, long necks, and pointed beaks
They are typically found in shallow waters, including coastlines, marshes, and lagoons, where they wade to hunt for fish and other small aquatic animals.
Great egrets are known for their elegant and graceful landings, often described as smooth and deliberate, with their long legs and wings outstretched as they approach their landing spot
The calm, clear water of the sea stretches out to a distant horizon under a partly cloudy sky. Shot from Nabq National Park during low tide.
A kestrel high above the South Downs. I rather like the simplicity of this one which was taken from the top of Malling Down Nature Reserve.
Some moments could last forever :) Here you see my beloved wife Tina
