Back again after few days. I took a few days off because sometimes Flickr is overwhelming and takes a lot of time out of my days. I just post no more than two photos a day because that.
I find Maple (Acer) seed pods more beautiful than the flowers it produces in spring. A maple leaf is on the coat of arms of Canada, and is on the Canadian flag. The maple is a common symbol 🍁 of strength and endurance and has been chosen as the national tree of Canada.

Something about this photo I adore - the hues contrasting against this bird. Blue Winged are beautiful birds, increasing in these parts!

Borrego Springs, CA
White-winged Dove was a lifer for me. It was a pleasant surprise to see a pair of them showing up perching on a tree for mroe than 20 minutes right in the backyard of a house where my wife and I happened to be staying in Borrego Springs as one of our stops during this multi-day road trip to southern California.
Libellula auripennis. Adult Golden-winged Skimmers are about 2.0 inches long with reddish-brown eyes. It is found in North America. Near my home in Fairfield Harbour, NC
White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica) are semi-tropical doves whose native range extends from the southwestern U.S. through Mexico and Central America, into parts of western South America, and to some Caribbean islands. They are also residents in Florida, where they were introduced. The majority of White-winged Doves are seasonally migratory. They overwinter in Mexico and Central America and come to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico in April to breed, departing again in September. Some will overwinter in their breeding range, especially in residential areas where food remains available. In the southern parts of their range, they are year-round residents. There are twelve subspecies of White-winged Doves. Western or Desert White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica mearnsii) and Eastern White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica asiatica) are the most numerous and widely distributed subspecies.
White-winged Doves feed on a variety of seeds, grain, and fruit that vary depending on their range and seasonal availability. They consume seeds and fruits of wild trees, grasses, and herbaceous plants, as well as those of ornamental cultivars. Domestic grain crops including sunflower, barley, sesame, sorghum, wheat, corn, and safflower are also an important food source in many parts of White-winged Dove’s range. To supplement their seed-based diet, White-winged Doves will also ingest shells of small snails and other gastropods, or bits of bone extracted from raptor pellets or mammal feces. The bones and shell are an important source of calcium for the doves, necessary for eggshell and crop milk production.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.

Saltator atripennis
(Black-winged Saltator / Saltador de alas negras)
The Black-winged Saltator is a fairly common resident of humid montane forest on the west slope of the Andes from southern Ecuador to northern Colombia. It is more difficult to see than some other species of saltator, perhaps due to its preference for the canopy and its avoidance of clearings.

Blue-winged Teals are common in South Florida. They socialize together and aren't overly shy in refuges where they are not hunted. This is the best I've got of them in flight, getting it this morning. The male is mottled brown and the male, shown here, has a dark head with the telltale white crescent on his face. (Anas discors)

We had just walked a trail without seeing or photographing anything.
As we were returning to the car, suddenly a group of these beautiful parrots appeared. They spent some time feeding in the grass and then disappeared.

Buff-winged Starfrontlets are appropriately named and have a conspicuous buff-colored patch on their wings. These hummingbirds are rather territorial and often pursue other hummingbirds in high chases, or guard flowers from others from a nearby perch. Buff-winged Starfrontlets inhabit dense cloud forests, elfin forests, and nearby shrubby areas. They are most often seen foraging low around forest borders where they primarily feed on nectar by hovering or briefly clinging to flowers.
