Still looking back for unposted or unprocessed waterfowl shots especially those in a preening pose.

 

Edmonton, Alberta.

Blue Wing Teals take flight - pure fear of the click of a Canon!

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.

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.

One of three posts for this evening.

 

A set of the drakes of the three Teal species we see here.

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

The Blue-winged Teals continue to hang around so I was glad to get out on this sunny, calm morning because just a few hours later a severe thunderstorm rolled through with hail and high winds!

Golden-winged Warbler

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.

White-winged Crossbills are slightly larger than Pine Siskis. They have unique shapes of beaks. They can use their crossed bills to pry open the cones to eat the seeds.

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)

The Red-winged Blackbird is an early spring arrival in Southern Ontario. The Blue background is an unfrozen pond with Cattails at the edges. Photographed at Long Point Ontario.

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.

 

Uncommon and classified as Vulnerable.

Migrant from southern states. Presence irregular, year to year. They can be everywhere. Last year, I did not see any.

Baylands Nature Preserve, Palo Alto, CA

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.

I took part in a Lost Locations photo shoot last Thursday. It was exciting, but also exhausting. Later, nothing worked without a torch and a tripod.

A Green Heron was prompted to fly from shore by a fisherman, so lucky me got to see it fly right past. Again, lucky, I got it dipping its wing in the lake. Santa Margarita Lake, CA.
