During the usual feeding in winter, there are always plenty of tourists and locals who are bringing them food.

A group of snow geese landing on a wetlands pond on a foggy winter morning.
These conditions are perhaps my favorite for photographing migratory birds — thick fog that is beginning to clear, allowing just a bit of directional light to illuminate my subjects at times, but still thick enough to to block out distant distractions. These are transitory conditions, like a sunset or skiable spring snow. You need to be there and ready, and get to work quickly when the right light happens — it won't last long!
Here in California we can typically find these conditions this time of year in many, many places — at the coast, along the shores of bays and lakes, next to rivers, all up and down the state. This photograph comes from the Great Central Valley, that place we tend to regard mostly as agricultural country, stitching hundreds of miles from Southern California to just below Mount Shasta. I had gone on this day because I knew there would be fog — the birds are less of a certainty. As the fog thinned and the light increased I found this spot and worked it as the conditions changed.

The Messerschmitt Bf 109, often called Me 109, was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser during the early to mid-1930s.
It was one of the first truly modern fighters of the era, including such features as all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, a retractable landing gear, and was powered by a liquid-cooled, inverted-V12 aero engine.
The Bf 109 first saw operational service during the Spanish Civil War and was still in service at the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II, during which time it was the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter force.
From the end of 1941 the Bf 109 was supplemented by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190.
Originally conceived as an interceptor, later models were developed to fulfill multiple tasks, serving as bomber escort, fighter-bomber, day-, night-, all-weather fighter, ground-attack aircraft, and as reconnaissance aircraft. It was supplied to and operated by several states during World War II, and served with several countries for many years after the war. The Bf 109 was the most produced fighter aircraft in history, with a total of 33,984 units produced from 1936 up to April 1945.
The Bf 109 was flown by the three top-scoring German fighter aces of World War II, who claimed 928 victories among them while flying with Jagdgeschwader 52, mainly on the Eastern Front, as well as by Hans-Joachim Marseille, the highest scoring German ace in the North African Campaign.
It was also flown by several other aces from Germany's allies, notably Finn Ilmari Juutilainen, the highest scoring non-German ace, and pilots from Italy, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria and Hungary. Through constant development, the Bf 109 remained competitive with the latest Allied fighter aircraft until the end of the war.
We called in at Laage near Rostock which is a Typhoon base. However, we were lucky enough to capture this A400M 54+26 landing there.
This particular one features refuelling pods under the outer wings.

The new Bothell Landing Pedestrian Bridge over the Sammamish River in Bothell, Washington. This was my submission for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, April 25, 2021.
Photographed with a Voightlander 116 Roll Film Camera, the lens was replaced with a pinhole.
Pinhole - 0.5mm,
Focal length - 135mm,
Aperture - f/270,
Exposure - 10 minutes,
Film - Kodak Contrast Process Panchromatic 4X5 expired Jan. 1961 (Cut down to fit),
ASA - about 5,

This is one from the archives, Its not been the best weather conditions for me to get out and shoot, plus doing some PC upgrades and updates mean a new index of my storage array. So going back to PRE Photoshop days and editing some older shots.
This was masked with Topaz, then layered. Next a run through Clarity on the bird to bring out wing details. Did a tad of content aware brushing to take out stray lighter branches.

Safe Landing
The CH-53K King Stallion lands after a test flight in West Palm Beach, Fla. on March 22, 2017. Lockheed Martin announced the CH-53K King Stallion passed its Defense Acquisition Board assessment that approved for the aircraft to begin low-rate initial production on April 4, 2017. The CH-53K will be considered the most powerful helicopter in the Department of Defense and is scheduled to completely replace the CH-53E Super Stallion by 2030.

Landing on runway 22R at JFK. The landing threshold is displaced by 3,400 feet from the start of the runway, hence this view from Terminal 5.

As I was watching the other eagle in the tree, the one I had arbitrarily dubbed the female, there came a high-pitched whistling call and this one came into view. She returned the call and flew up to meet him, they circled around then she flew off and he landed, looking rather ungainly with his landing gear down :-)
If there were eggs they would be taking turns sitting on the nest and not on the branch. The female lays eggs about 5 - 10 days after a successful mating so I surmise that they have mated and are now guarding the nest so that no other birds can take up housekeeping there while they wait. Just a guess. I love watching these magnificent birds!
