I recently went to Colorado in April. I saw McCowan's Longspurs but could never get close to them so I was thrilled to have this breeding plumaged male let me walk (rather crawl) right up to him!
Monsoon in the Sonoran Desert! This storm came up fast with strong wind and a dust storm. It was near sunset and I had walked out to the desert to take sunset photos. Needless to say I raced the storm home! The rainbow led the way with thick dust and clouds following. The lightning was not far behind. Unfortunately by the time I got home most of the lightning strikes had subsided. I quickly set up my tripod so I could get a few shots of the light show.

Thank you!
The thick air and heat of summer is not usually my favorite season for photography, but I do perk up when the dahlias start blooming!
I pre-ordered the Nikon MC 105 Macro lens (for Z bodies) and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived in just a few weeks. The real surprise came when I took it out for the first time though and saw how sharp it is - even wide open. I shot at f10 here though to maximize focus throughout the bloom for a change. I had a few macro lenses in the past including the Tamron 90, but nothing like this. It will auto focus all the way down into the macro range which is a plus. I usually use AF for everything as I did here, and taking focus right off of the sensor is a game changer for me with no fine tuning needed.
Thank you for your warm and kind visits my flickr friends - you are the best of the best! 💖

Thick-headed Fly in my yard in Chester County, PA. This looks like a wasp but it is actually a fly.

Without a couple of thick slices of toasted multigrain wholemeal bread and thick spread butter my beans on toast would be nothing!! 😊 Happy Macro Mondays.

517) Thick Billed Spiderhunter
Thick Billed Spiderhunter, Arachnothera crassirostris, Kelicap Jantung Paruh Tebal
My last spiderhunter of Malaysia. Uncommon resident species that have been evading me for seven years of birding. At last got all 10 species of spiderhunters in my lifers’ collection. Hopefully, ornithologist doesn’t split any species of this Family anytime soon. If does, I might go crazy again.

Thick-knees are lapwing-like birds but larger. The name 'thick-knee' is a misnomer as these birds have swollen ankle joints, not knee joints. Their large eyes are well adapted for foraging at night. Also called Water Dikkop.
The bongo is a large and beautiful antelope that lives in the undergrowth of the jungles of Central Africa. It shuns man but is threatened by hunting and deforestation.
Coat ........: reddish brown ...... with vertical white stripes on the body.
Lyre-shaped horns........ Dark muzzle and thick white line under the eyes.
Habitat: Dense undergrowth in the forests of western and central Africa, as well as an isolated population living in the mountains of Kenya.
Weight & size
1.70 to 2.50 m long and a height at the withers of 1.25 m for a weight between 200 and 400 kg.
Reproduction After a gestation period of 9 months, the female often gives birth to only one cub.
Lifespan 17 to 19 years on average.
Diet Herbivorous: leaves, grasses, roots and fruits.
Poaching and habitat destruction threaten the Bongo. There are two subspecies of the bongo: the mountain bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci) with the status of 'Critically Endangered' with less than a hundred individuals surviving in the wild in a few remote areas of Kenya, and the lowland bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus eurycerus) with the status of 'Near Threatened'.

A thick covering of snow and ice clings to every tree surface deep in one of the islands many secluded plantations. In all the time I’ve been doing landscape photography here on the Isle of Man, I’ve never seen conditions quite like this before. With this image I utilised a pathway carved through the forest as a nice leading line to the exit from the forest, which looked like a portal to another world ❄️

The Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), also known as the common puffin, is a species of seabird in the auk family. It is the only puffin native to the Atlantic Ocean; two related species, the tufted puffin and the horned puffin being found in the northeastern Pacific.
The Atlantic puffin breeds in Russia, Iceland, Ireland, Britain, Norway, Greenland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and the Faroe Islands, and as far south as Maine in the west and France in the east. It is most commonly found in the Westman Islands, Iceland.
The Atlantic puffin is sturdily built with a thick-set neck and short wings and tail. It is 28 to 30 cm (11 to 12 in) in length from the tip of its stout bill to its blunt-ended tail. Its wingspan is 47 to 63 cm (19 to 25 in) and on land it stands about 20 cm (8 in) high.
The male is generally slightly larger than the female, but they are coloured alike. The forehead, crown, and nape are glossy black, as are the back, wings, and tail. A broad, black collar extends around the neck and throat. On each side of the head is a large, lozenge-shaped area of very pale grey. These face patches taper to a point and nearly meet at the back of the neck.
The shape of the head creates a crease extending from the eye to the hindmost point of each patch, giving the appearance of a grey streak. The eyes look almost triangular because of a small, peaked area of horny blue-grey skin above them and a rectangular patch below. The irises are brown or very dark blue, and each has a red orbital ring. The underparts of the bird, the breast, belly, and under tail coverts, are white.
By the end of the breeding season, the black plumage may have lost its shine or even taken on a slightly brown tinge. The legs are short and set well back on the body, giving the bird its upright stance when on land. Both legs and large webbed feet are bright orange, contrasting with the sharp, black claws.
The beak is very distinctive. From the side, the beak is broad and triangular, but viewed from above, it is narrow. The half near the tip is orange-red and the half near the head is slate grey. A yellow, chevron-shaped ridge separates the two parts, with a yellow, fleshy strip at the base of the bill. At the joint of the two mandibles is a yellow, wrinkled rosette.
The exact proportions of the beak vary with the age of the bird. In an immature individual, the beak has reached its full length, but it is not as broad as that of an adult. With time the bill deepens, the upper edge curves, and a kink develops at its base. As the bird ages, one or more grooves
may form on the red portion. The bird has a powerful bite.

Slightly larger than the Least Chipmunk, this little cutie comes in second in my smallest to largest series from our latest trip.
Various scientific sources refer to the American Pika as a vulnerable species with warming temperatures due to climate change as the greatest threat. Their thick coats can cause them to overheat in temperatures in the mid seventies Fahrenheit.
We found this little guy/gal in Rocky Mountain National Park.
