Great Blue Heron skimming across a glassy lake at sunset, perfectly mirrored in the glowing orange water. Loved watching this silent fly-by right past the dock.

Grabbing a last snack before the sun is gone.

Merlin resting on the bed. He really doesn't want me to make the bed!

Happy Caturday to all my Flickr's friends!

The Lake Express Ferry heading out of Muskegon Port and over to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The view from the Park encompasses both the South Pierhead Light and the South Breakwater Light. Adding two more West Michigan lighthouses to my goal of photographing all 20. I'm up to 16 now, need another trip to the Michigan northwest.

...and finally a proper trip out with my newly acquired Z8, well I have had it since early June, just too busy with work to get out.

Please enjoy the beach details in Large. Thank you so much for your visit!

Le Vanneau huppé est une espèce d'oiseaux limicoles vivant souvent en bandes, il mesure 28 à 31 cm pour une envergure de 82 à 87 cm. Il pèse entre 128 et 330 g.

Il présente une longue huppe noire effilée caractéristique, des parties supérieures à reflets verts et des sous-caudales orange. Son ventre blanc fait ressortir la couleur rose de ses pattes, très fines et courtes. Ses ailes larges et arrondies sont sombres dessus et blanches dessous. Leur battement rapide produit un son très particulier, qui rappelle le bruit que fait le van (sorte de grand tamis) dans les mains du vanneur, d'où son nom de vanneau.

Northern Spain

A pair of nesting Northern Mockingbirds have made it their mission to attack me when leaving my front door. This one alighted on the branch after scraping my lens hood with her little claws.

Another target species from the recent Iceland trip. We found a small lake that held three pairs.

Hopefully this Tricolored Heron is not learning the hard way to not stare at the sun.

A Trio of BIF shots from the Isle of Lunga in the Treshish Isles just off the Isle of Mull in Scotland, which has a huge colony of sea birds and is must place to visit if you are in the area during the breeding season to experience the wonder and joy :-)
