A female Mallard makes her way in for a landing on the Upper Thames river here in London Ontario. It was a bright windy day and the sunlight did a great job in bringing out the detail in the feather pattern on this fine looking fowl. Hope you enjoy!
In most years, this area at the Kane Boat landing would be flooded by Bighorn Lake (Reservoir). However, on June 19 202,1 the lake level was still low and the Bighorn River meandered across the grass covered lake bottom. Off in the distance a dust storm moves along the base of the hills.
Spoonbills always garner attention and this one landed was no exception. I did have to remove the rude fellow occupying the next rock over who rudely crowded into my frame. Oh well. These guys are doing their seasonal nesting in earnest and hopefully will produce a generous number of chicks. They are colonial nesters and don’t seem to squabble much, each finding a niche to build their nest and raise their brood. I’m hoping to get some more opportunities with them this season.

The Great Egret landing perfectly, beautiful white bird. Picture taken at the Wading Bird Rookery in Saint Augustine, Florida.
Great Egret Landing
I like the unusual angle and lighting showing the feather and even the wing bone detail.

The Snowy Egret coming in for such a pretty landing. They travel a little faster than the Great Egret.
A Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala) was landing fast to join the big brothers - resting Dalmatian Pelicans in the early morning. This was with the first sunshine and I got rewarded with plenty of wild actions in a short burst of moments. Pics was taken near Dwarka sector wetland in Gujrat, India.
Seems to help. I didn't see any seals or sea lions near this dock. Also seems to work on seagulls. Nary a one in sight.
Moss Landing, just north of Monterey, California.
The Moss Landing public marina and the natural gas powered electricity generation plant located in Moss Landing, CA at the midpoint of Monterey Bay. Its large stacks are landmarks, visible throughout the Monterey Bay Area. The plant is owned and operated by Houston-based Dynegy and currently has a generation capacity of 1020 MW (net) from its two combined cycle generation units.[3] It was once the largest power plant in the state of California, with a generation capacity of 2560 MW, before its two large supercritical steam units were taken offline. It is to be the site of a new battery storage power station for grid battery storage of over 567MW / 2,270MWh of power, potentially the world's largest when completed.
I like the contrasting composition with the colorful sky and colorful details in the foreground. Copyright: Sweezey Pictures/Ken Sweezey.
