I absolutely never ever get tired of photographing these birds, especially in the wild. These birds to me optimize what a florida wading bird should be with their grace and elegance. I did about 200 or more so you guys will be seeing more in the future. I really do not know how else to do it on Flickr but all my friends have a very happy and healthy new year and a very Merry Christmas.

Here are a few more pic of yesterday's jump. It was fabulous and I will describe it more once I have got over the post jump Party :-) Thank you for all your donations. I'm keeping the site open for another few months in case anyone else would like to donate.

A Turkey Vulture flew off and looked for another place to perch. I managed to catch its silhouette against the grey, rainy day April sky.
My first encounter with this marvelous bird can be seen in the first comment below.

This is a Falklands Steamer Duck, so named because they move across the surface of the water in the manner of a paddle-steamer as they are unable to fly. They are a large duck too, about the size of an Eider, with an equally heavy bill for cracking open shellfish. Males can weigh 4.33kg, but females weigh in less at up to 3.38kg. This one looks like it is preparing to charge by pawing the ground like a raging bull, though I realise neither bulls nor ducks have paws with which to paw the ground. And this isn't even a male, it is a feisty female taking exception to the proximity of a rival female. They only occur on the Falklands, but have a close relative on mainland South America; Flightless Steamer Duck.
A young fisherman goes about the usual preparation of his shellfish traps before taking yet another nighttime boat trip to a certain deep area in Subic Bay where he will submerge the said traps to catch blue crab.

During an 8-hour layover in Bangkok, we decided to explore the city, and lucked upon a monk ordination at the Marble Temple. This event happens once a year. At least 100 men and boys from the north of the country were ordained. The ordinations were for periods ranging from, we were told, three weeks to a lifetime.

In the Mardin bazaar, Turkey, a couple of olive vendors prepare çakıstes (cracked olives). Green olives are cracked with a mallet so they split, but don't loose the stone. This helps curing brine flavoured with fresh herbs to penetrate the fruit. Note the jars of çakıstes, centre frame, which are eaten as meze (appetizers). The men allowed me to practice cracking a few olives, hence the smiling faces.

Part 1:
The front line had been quiet all morning. Our stiff resistance during the fierce fight the night before had forced the Amis to pull back sometime during the very early morning. We reorganized, rearmed, resupplied, and fixed ourselves into our defenses. This position was of value to command and we were ordered to hold it by all means possible.
At around 0940 the silence was broken by the recognizable rumble of American armor. The Amis must have regrouped in the morning and received reinforcements. We all scurried to our positions and crouched down, awaiting the attack. As the rumbles got louder our anti-tank units prepped their guns and got ready to fire at whatever toys the Americans had brought to play with.
