Ring-billed Gulls are often found inland or even in farm fields. Others like this guy live on inland lakes. This phoro taken from my boat at sunrise shows the takeoff with back lighting.
This started out as picture of water bugs I think we used to call skeeters when I was a kid--but it turned into an invasion of killer alien bugs capable of devouring a mastodon in minutes.
Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) juvenile
One of the, we believe two, juveniles at Sneydes Rd. demonstrating its aerial skills.
Straw-necked Ibis (Threskiornis spinicollis)
One of a flock of around 60 birds seen in the Sneydes Rd. paddocks yesterday. This one was taking off into a 40 knot (75 Km/h 47 mph) gale.
Taken this past June in Etosha, Namibia. The young zebra colt was having a great time running and kicking up his heels and in this image he is actually airborne. He was quite young as his fur coat still has the appearance of being slightly curly. I love them at this age and was thrilled to have seen so many young ones on this trip . This image is in honor of you Lanette Browder as I know how much you love zebras and especially babies.
Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday and a very blessed one ...

Lower New York Bay, a few minutes after takeoff from JFK Airport, heading west to Las Vegas. -- August 31, 2022
The cygnets, nearly-swans, were a source of interest on North Pond, Bishops Waltham. But last time I was there on the long wooden footbridge which crosses the pond, they were nowhere to be seen. A look around the other end of the pond accessible by the main road, also revealed only their absence.
And then a friend told me that they are taken to a sanctuary for safe-keeping during the winter. So, hopefully, spring will show them all, resplendent in their fully-grown white plumage and hopefully we will be allowed there to take their photo.

The K1 with its slightly slower AF is certainly not the best tool to photograph fast birds or even dragonflies in flight. But as you can see it is still feasible. Even with an old Tamron 28-300mm with slow screwdriver AF
Die K1 mit ihrem etwas langsamen AF ist sicher nicht das beste Werkzeug, um schnelle Vögel oder gar Libellen im Flug zu fotografieren. Aber wie man sieht ist es trotzdem machbar. Sogar mit einem alten Tamron 28-300mm mit langsamen Schraubendreher AF

Great egret's catch and toss
Best viewed extra large
I prefer still photography over videos. This sequence was captured in just one-third of a second. Each photo freezes a moment in time, enabling us to cherish the details and emotions of that split second one frame at a time
And finally the poem:
Egret, airborne angler bold,
In feeding frenzy, fish unfold,
With dart and dive, the fish’s fate,
They glide with grace, their hunt innate,
To strike and snatch from waters cold.
Legs tucked tight and neck stretched long,
White feathers gleam, a visual song,
Feet skim through waters, splashes rise,
Reflecting white in mirrored guise.
With splash and drag, they seize their prey,
Then toss and swallow, on their way.
