A male Green Winged Teal cruises the shore - I was lucky to get this somewhat shy duck - but wanted o get the nearby Female - but sometimes we take what we can get!
Up until this month, I have been pretty much winging it with my bird photography. I was doing okay with the birds if they kept still. Then I watched a couple of videos of Simon Paul D’entremont’s bird photography on You Tube. I wanted to be able to capture birds in flight with better details and I needed more tips on how to do that. His tutorials are excellent. So now I am practicing with my limited gear. I won’t be investing in a new lens just for birding. I simply want to make the most of the lenses and camera I already have. This Egret is one of my practice shots. I do prefer having habitat included with the birds which is particularly challenging when they are flying!

One of 11 warbler species in the yard/pond today. Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Sept 15, 2021.
A rare one for the yard and always nice to see.
We had The golden-winged, Tennessee, Magnolia, Cape May, Blackburnian, pine, Palm, Bay Breasted, Blackpoll, Black and White, and American Redstart. A bumper crop.
Vermivora chrysoptera
Golden-winged parents may use trickery to protect their young from predators. Adults feeding nestlings have been observed repeatedly carrying food down other plant stems away from the nest, possibly as a decoy, when they detected humans nearby.

Wikipedia: The blue-winged leafbird (Chloropsis moluccensis) is a species of leafbird found in forest and second growth throughout Southeast Asia as far east as Borneo and as far south as southern Sumatra.
The superficially similar golden-fronted leafbird lacks blue in the flight feathers and tail, and has a golden forehead. As in other leafbirds, the call of the blue-winged leafbird consists of a rich mixture of imitations of the calls of various other species of birds.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Green-winged Teal (Eurasian) (Anas crecca)
This photo was taken in Kiyose Kanayama Green Park, Japan. The weather was perfect and the water was extremely clear. I had a great day and took loads of photos.
I photographed this Blue-winged Teal (Spatula discors) at El Desaguadero on Lago de Tota, near Aquitania, Boyacá, Colombia, at about 3,015 meters. It is one of the smaller dabbling ducks. It breeds in North America, from southern Alaska to Nova Scotia, and many winter far to the south, as far as Brazil and central Chile. The male's call is a short whistle, while the female gives a soft quack. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I made this frame with a Canon R5 and the RF 800mm f/11 plus the RF 1.4x extender, at 1/750 sec, f/16, ISO 1600, +1 EV. Lago de Tota, in the Sugamuxi Province of eastern Boyacá, is Colombia's largest lake and the source of the UpÃa River.

A small duck of the marsh, Blue-winged Teals can be found feeding amongst the cattails and sedges along with Mallards and other dabbling waterfowl.
They get their name from the brilliant band of blue feathers under the wings which is normally only seen in flight.

Bronze Winged Jacana, Metopidius indicus, Burung Teratai Tembaga
Bronze-winged jacanas are rail-like, large, short tailed birds that appear dark at a distance except for the supercilium. The species is widely distributed across the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia mainly in low elevations, found singly or in pairs foraging on aquatic vegetation.

Black-winged Stilt has a wide distribution including Africa. Asia, and Europe, and we saw many of them on our Thailand birding trip. However, perhaps because of their very abundance and the ‘distraction’ of other more unusual species, I didn’t do much photography of these birds. They are an elegant combination of black-and-white, with the addition of long pink legs — which this image at least hints at…
A rare bird because of decline in its habitat, they are beautiful. This one was singing on fresh maple growth. Oh and I love the colors of the young fresh maple.
While at the Werribee Open Range Zoo with Lance www.flickr.com/photos/lankee2009 and his wife (from New Zealand) we spotted two Brolgas in the 'back paddock' of the Zoo. I was wondering if it is the same two we saw at the WTP last week.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
In the spring and throughout early summer, the air is filled with the calls of the red winged blackbirds which, by end of summer, have faded away. And so I was tuned in when this pair of blackbirds called out to each other on the last day of September. A pair coming through on their way south somewhere....
