It's most often the Birch shieldbug that I've seen do this when perhaps feeling a little threatened.

A male Short-eared Owl displaying the wing-clapping behavior. "When a male displays to a female or attempts to ward off an intruder, he snaps his wings together below his body in a burst of two to six claps per second, producing a sound that sounds like applause." .

There were quite a few Green-winged Teals at Burnaby Lake yesterday and I was just settling in to get some nice shots when some dumbass in a boat came into the bay and scared all the birds away! It was all downhill from there...
This little guy dragged around this piece of vegetation on his back for quite a while.
don't think this truck is going to be restored anytime soon... makes for an interesting sight and the snow on the fence helps. winter has its benefits ;(

I had fun the other day hanging out at the duck pond in San Lorenzo park. There were lots of seagulls,,,so tame, but willing to fly when I crept right up next to them with my stealth camera:")
icolorama, procreate
For the first time in weeks I was able to visit Kohler-Andrae State Park AND take a bike. Both made me very happy. The trio in this post have wings in common. Cool to have the monarch butterflies and dragonflies back into the mix of local nature.
This aggressive Red-winged Blackbird was busy chasing other birds away. I suspect that babies had hatched or eggs were laid.
The black-winged kite (Elanus caeruleus) is a small diurnal bird of prey in the family Accipitridae best known for its habit of hovering over open grasslands in the manner of the much smaller kestrels. This kite is distinctive, with long-wings, white, grey and black plumage and owl like forward-facing eyes with red irises. Although mainly seen on the plains, they are sometimes seen on grassy slopes of hills in the higher elevation regions of Asia. They are not migratory, but make short-distance movements in response to weather.
The black-winged kite is a species primarily of open land and semi-deserts in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical Asia, but it has a foothold within Europe in Spain and Portugal. The species range appears to be expanding in southern Europe and possibly in West Asia.
Several geographic populations have been named as subspecies and these include the nominate subspecies which occurs in Spain, Africa and Arabia. The subspecies vociferus is found east of this range across South Asia and into Southeast Asia. Along Sumatra, Java, Borneo and the Philippines subspecies hypoleucus (sometimes considered a full species) is found while wahgiensis is restricted to New Guinea. Subspecies sumatranus is not always recognized. The white-tailed kite and the black-shouldered kite were formerly included with this species but have since been treated as separate species.
The theme for week 34 is Abstract. Not my favourite theme. This has been cropped to show the detail in a butterfly's wing. The butterfly in question is a large white and as you can see the wing is not white! There are yellow areas and black spots.
Not sure it works as an abstract though.

Wing It ! ~ Well, that's it for my 30 pic summer wetland
Saint Augustine (July) wildlife series. Thanks for looking.
I had a great time watching this bird the other day. He flew down from his fence post perch and started looking around in the grasses and every few seconds he would flash those wings. Popular belief is that these birds do that so that their white underwings startles any insects into movement. Slim pickings for him on this day as I never saw him catch anything.
A relatively small blackbird with a long spike like bill , flat crown and a fairly short, glossy black tail.

There has been a white winged dove at Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, on and off this spring/summer.
They are a bird normally found in the American south west not the Great Lakes.
Today I got a call that there were now two white wings sitting in the same tree.
He is in mid call as indicated by the puffed out throat.
Maybe they will nest.
This fella displays territorial posturing and singing as he protects and lures us away from his near-by nest and family. This was the only reason I was able to get so close to him.
The Brown Winged Kingfisher…. their habitat can be found in Asia, including Thailand, India, Myanmar, and Malaysia in subtropical and tropical mangrove forests. Their population is decreasing, and they are a rare species.

Corcorax melanorhamphos
White-winged Choughs move about in large families along the ground searching for food in the form of insects, grubs, etc. They are very sociable and noisy birds, and although those eyes make them look a little crazy, they are anything but that.
