Die sonst eher ruhige Ostsee wurde von dem Wind an diesem Morgen ordentlich aufgepeitscht.. dazu ging die Sonne gerade auf, die Wolken am Horizont verschwanden.. und die Möwen begannen zu jagen..
Die Ausbeute von dem Morgen ist echt super und ich denke gerne an diese Momente zurück.
Der einzige Nachteil: ich habe zu viele Bilder gemacht ;)

At waterfowl lake (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/20885938864) there was lots of bird life, and staying for almost the whole day, I noticed an osprey hunting the area.
My days in Canada were very intensive. Traveling, hiking long distances, seeing everything because there is so much to see etc. But on the morning I took this picture, I wasn't in the mood to hurry so I walked from the waterfowl lake campground to this lake ( a 5 min hiking distance) and enjoyed most of the day this view. Another nice thing what happened was that I saw a lot of bird-life that otherwise I would have chased away, and I heard the call of the loon, which is absolutely amazing, and that reminded me of of the morning calls of the gibbons in the tropical rainforest. The loons were looking after their chick, the first in three years one of the rangers told me merrily!
From the 11th of June till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.
And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. Frow there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).
4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.
I hope you will enjoy the impression of my travel, one that equals earlier journeys to Alaska and south America, this journey was the first in the digital era, and equally intensive because of all the hiking activities every day on and on. I loved every minute of it.
Brazos Bend State Park - 6/2022
With little rain, the already shallow lakes in the park have been drying out. Herons and egrets gather to feed on remaining aquatic creatures.

Green Heron (adult) - Florida Wetlands - 9/5/20
In The Wild - Palm Beach County, Florida USA
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - going out on-a-limb]
*[The Green Heron is relatively small; adult body length is about 17 inches. The neck is often pulled in tight against the body. Adults have a glossy, greenish-black cap, a greenish back and wings that are grey-black grading into green or blue, a chestnut neck with a white line down the front, grey underparts and short yellow legs. The bill is dark with a long, sharp point. - Thanks for looking]
[FYI: They are called "green" herons because of
the green color on their wings (see image below)]
Ah, off to some of my favorite things...barrelling through a humid South Carolina night, watching lighting playing in the distant cloudtops, talking photography with a friend, counting the minutes until I have my toes back in the saltwater and sand, listening to the waves break and enjoying a beach sunrise with my camera and friends.
Did one of my crazy drives to the coast for sunrise this weekend. Photography adventures with friends are always a great time. ;-)

It was great to see the Barred Owl actively hunting, ignoring half a dozen birding photographers right underneath.

Cooper's Hawk
Accipiter cooperii
ORDER: Accipitriformes
FAMILY: Accipitridae
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Coopers_Hawk/overview
Colorado Springs, CO
This lovely hawk visits my trees just about every day hunting for small birds and doesn't seem to mind being watched as it hunts for its meal.
Were you ever taken snipe hunting when young? Well, hunting snipes was fictitious but the snipe is real, and it hunts for food by poking its long bill into the muds and water of marshes and border muds of wetlands.
This bird was found with three others and a group of least sandpipers poking in the same mud in the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands, Viera, Florida.
This is a Western coyote at Cherry Creek State Park, leaping in the snow for a vole, in the early morning light.
I was sitting by the field where it was hunting and was pleased as it moved closer and closer to me. I cropped this only slightly and struggled to keep him in the frame.

The so-called Casina Vanvitelliana, a late 18th-century building in a lake designed by architect Carlo Vanvitelli, was a hunting lodge for the royal family of the Kingdom of Sicily (later Two Sicilies).
Common Buzzard - Buteo Buteo
The common buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a medium-to-large bird of prey whose range covers most of Europe and extends into Asia. Over much of its range, it is resident year-round, but birds from the colder parts of the Northern Hemisphere typically migrate south (some well into the Southern Hemisphere) for the northern winter.
This broad-winged raptor has a wide variety of plumages, and in Europe can be confused with the similar rough-legged buzzard (Buteo lagopus) and the distantly related European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus), which mimics the common buzzard's plumage for a degree of protection from northern goshawks. The plumage can vary in Britain from almost pure white to black, but is usually shades of brown, with a pale 'necklace' of feathers.
Of the two eastern subspecies, B. b. vulpinus breeds from east Europe eastward to the Far East (including Eastern China and South Asia), excluding Japan, while B. b. menetriesi breeds in the Southern Crimea and Caucasus to northern Iran. B. b. vulpinus is a long-distance migrant, excepting some north Himalayan birds, and winters in Africa, India and southeastern Asia. In the open country favoured on the wintering grounds, steppe buzzards are often seen perched on roadside telephone poles.
The common buzzard breeds in woodlands, usually on the fringes, but favours hunting over open land. It eats mainly small mammals, and will come to carrion. A great opportunist, it adapts well to a varied diet of pheasant, rabbit, other small mammals to medium mammals, snakes and lizards, and can often be seen walking over recently ploughed fields looking for worms and insects.[citation needed] When available, common buzzards feed on their preferred prey species, field voles Microtus agrestis, in relation to their abundance. When the abundance of field voles decline, common buzzards switch to foraging on a diversity of prey items typical of farmland habitats.

22 September: All of my Hummingbirds have abandoned the area for their annual migration to South America. If lucky, they'll return in mid-April.
