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!

This is one shot in a sequence where this mature Bald Eagle was flying to my left but noticed something to my right and is working quickly to change direction. I love the wing position in this image as it's something I don't see too often, as though the wing is draped - the wing that is pointing at me.

Die Gold Wing ist ein schweres Reisemotorrad mit wassergekühltem Vier- oder Sechszylinder-Boxermotor und Kardanantrieb von Honda. Das erste Modell GL 1000 mit 1000 cm³ Hubraum wurde im Herbst 1974 auf der IFMA in Köln präsentiert. Sie wurde anfangs in Japan gefertigt und ab 1979, vor allem für den amerikanischen Markt, in Marysville, Ohio (USA). Mitte 2009 wurde die Motorradproduktion im Werk Marysville eingestellt und nach Kumamoto (Japan) verlegt. Im Laufe der langjährigen Weiterentwicklung dieser Baureihe vergrößerte der Hersteller den Hubraum nach und nach bis auf aktuell 1833 cm³.
Die Firma Honda betrachtet die Gold Wing als ihr Flaggschiff, entwickelt und gebaut für Motorradfahrer, die höchsten Komfort, Sicherheit und Wetterschutz auf weiten Reisen erwarten und für die der Anschaffungspreis und das Fahrzeuggewicht nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen. Dazu wurden viele Ausstattungsdetails wie Audio- und CB-Funk-Anlagen, Antiblockiersystem (ABS), Tempomat, Sitzheizung, Rückwärtsgang oder Airbag aus dem Automobilbereich in das Konzept integriert, manchmal lange vor den Mitbewerbern oder, wie beim Airbag, als Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Kritiker und Bewunderer bezeichnen sie deshalb oft als „Auto auf zwei Rädern“ oder „Königin der Landstraße“. Die Vereinigten Staaten bleiben, auch nach der Einstellung der Produktion dort, der Hauptabsatzmarkt für die Honda Gold Wing. (Wikipedia)

"One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird is a familiar sight atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Glossy-black males have scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow. Their early and tumbling song are happy indications of the return of spring."
I could watch a bird eating a dragonfly. It left the wing of the dragonfly behind.

I didn't take the opportunity to go after this species this spring, so here is an image from last Spring that I've yet to post. This was the only male out of six I found that day that wasn't banded. Personally I think this species is over-studied, and I'm not persuaded that all that field study is not hurting this species in some locations, especially in the southern part of it's range which is under pressure already. Such studied populations behave differently than populations that are infrequently birded IMHO.

The bird seen in the photo is called Black-Winged Stilt, it is a kind of birds that has a long red legs that allow it to wade into deeper water, where it may be seen snatching insects that hover over the water’s surface, dipping its head below the water to catch small fish, or pulling small worms from the mud.
You can see how it is slowing walking in calm water searching for it food.

The chestnut-winged starling (Onychognathus fulgidus) is a glossy, medium-sized starling found across parts of East Africa, often inhabiting rocky cliffs, savannas, and woodland edges. It is easily recognized by its dark, iridescent plumage contrasted with rich chestnut-colored wings that flash warmly in flight. Highly social and vocal, these birds are frequently seen in pairs or small groups, foraging for insects and fruit. Their striking coloration and lively behavior make the chestnut-winged starling a rewarding subject for observation and photography.
