... and some black ...
HFF folks ... right after I took this shot, someone looked out of the window to the left, and demanded to know why I was taking photos of their house, I mumbled something about 'nice shadows'.. the perils of shooting a fence shadow!
press L to see on black (definitely better)
I wasn't going to upload another shot from that flowery set, but as I had some time to kill, I started playing around with them and ended up with this one... I loved how it turned out and thought I'd share ;D
Big smiles everyone :)))
Photo taken on a hiking trail in New Jersey. The trail is located in Hartshorne Woods in Buttermilk Valley.
Red Kite - Milvus Milvus
Persecuted to near extinction in the UK, the Red Kite has made a tremendous comeback thanks to reintroduction programmes and legal protection. Seeing one of these magnificent birds soaring high in the sky is a true delight.
Once a very rare bird that could only be found in Central Wales, the Red Kite has been successfully reintroduced to several areas of the UK and can now be seen in Wales, Yorkshire, the East Midlands and the Chilterns. A large, graceful bird of prey, it soars over woods and open areas, its distinctive shape and 'mewing' calls making it easy to identify. Red Kites were routinely persecuted as hunters of game and domestic animals, but they are in fact scavengers, eating carrion and scraps, and taking only small prey like rabbits.
Red kites were common in Shakespearean London, where they fed on scraps in the streets and collected rags or stole hung-out washing for nest-building materials. Shakespeare even referred to this habit in 'The Winter's Tale' when he wrote: 'When the kite builds, look to lesser linen'. The nest of a red kite is an untidy affair, often built on top of an old Crow's nest. It is lined with sheep's wool and decorated with all kinds of objects like paper, plastic and cloth.
Thank to all who take the time to view, Comment or Fav, It is Always Appreciated.
Red-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalus) is an incredibly striking bird: adults have brilliant crimson head, black back, large white wing patches, and white belly. These large patches of solid color are unlike other woodpeckers with more intricate patterns. Immatures have brownish heads.
