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.
After getting many perch shots, she did a series of slow up and down wing flaps. This reminded me of when young birds of prey try their wings out. Luckily I had my zoom on to pull back for the entire wings to fit in the frame. More poses to come later :) Click image for larger view.
I got lucky today as one of our local orchid experts took the time to show me a hidden meadow full of flowering green-winged orchids. They have an amazing variety of color, ranging from white, through pink, to deep purple. I'll have to return there in a few weeks when other species of orchids will come into bloom.
This is one of a decent-sized population that seem to be stable in the Cuyamaca Mountains. They used to be considered "rare" in these mountains, but I have seen them in groups of over half a dozen near my home for quite a few years now.

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.
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.
I thought this was a cute pair of white-winged doves topping a saguaro that seems to be about done flowering. Every time I see these I sing that Stevie Nicks song (Edge of Seventeen) in which the white-winged dove plays a prominent role in the lyrics. I'm not sure that me singing that song is an entirely pleasant experience for those around me. 😜
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird preparing for the daily battle in morning light. Thanks again for the visit.
A Black-cappped Chickadee
"A bird almost universally considered “cute” thanks to its oversized round head, tiny body, and curiosity about everything, including humans. The chickadee’s black cap and bib; white cheeks; gray back, wings, and tail; and whitish underside with buffy sides are distinctive. Its habit of investigating people and everything else in its home territory, and quickness to discover bird feeders, make it one of the first birds most people learn."
Himantopus himantopus

The red winged blackbirds were active that day, calling and posturing for the females. They presented many opportunities for pictures. This was taken at Commonwealth Lake.

We haven't seen many of these so far this winter. I have been reading of more sightings recently. It would be great if we get a late winter irruption.
Hermitage Park. Edmonton, Alberta.
For some time the Pied Currawongs have eluded me. On Saturday as we had a coffee at Aireys Inlet this one landed on a nearby fence post.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
This poor Barred Owl with an injured wing was being harassed by crows. Fortunately, someone captured it and took it to the Wild Bird Care Centre. It has recovered and was just released the other day!
