So many times
I made this crossing
What would I give
To go back to you
When I revisited this footbridge after many, many years, it was so overwhelming as I felt I was looking back at my past life, which in a way I was. I used to go across this bridge with my family as a child, walking our dogs. It is the way of life that we grow up and our parents pass over, but there are times when the loss of them becomes very acute, catching us unawares. This was one of those occasions, and I could barely press the shutter.

Icterus chrysater
(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

Looking at the back of a bird whilst realizing that it is looking straight at you is always a mind blowing experience :) Most birds can rotate their head about 180 degrees without any problem. I wish we, humans, could to the same :))

At least Flickr is back to normal.
I was using GIMP, and the shape of my toolbar changed. Why? Who knows.
At least when I shut down my computer, it went back to the normal shape.
I can't wait till fall! But it might be late and short, too hot!
I am just getting back to basics (organizationally that is) with my photo gear while I am planning out my HUGE trip for 2024.
Pink Backed Pelican
Pink Backed Pelican, Pelecanus rufescens,
Now living in Putrajaya Wetland, Malaysia. Some of the birds in the flock learnt to fly again, become escapee.
I was trying to make a composition out of the intersecting planes, shapes, shadows and colors. It's not one of my favorites but I decided to post it anyway. I like the barren, pruned-back tree surrounded by stark architectural lines.

Malay: Pekaka Api
Family: Alcedinidae
IUCN Red List (v3.1, 2016): Least Concern

I caught these sandhill cranes as part of a small group "staging" before flying south. Cranes remain in Wisconsin as long as they have access to food. That tends to be in November when a significant snowfall occurs. This group was in one of their foraging grounds on November 7. They were gone by the 20th or so. They'll be back in late February or March.
While staging in groups they often face-off when one bird gets a bit too close to another. Nothing bad comes of the encounter, but it makes for a good show for onlookers.
I captured this scene at Uihlein Waterfowl Production Area in Winnebago County about 10 miles west of Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

I was eating lunch by one of my favorite birdwatching windows when this Carolina wren took shelter from the snowstorm on our back porch. Despite the nasty weather he was still belting out a loud and cheerful song. Taken through a window. Backyard bird.
Back in business
2021 was the year of the great garden renovation. Instead of photographing foxes, badgers, sun rays and frosty mornings I was now building my own Japanese garden paradise with a large pond, a rocky garden stream, stepping stones throughout the garden, a fancy shed and a large wooden deck. Great fun to learn how to build it yourself of course, but that also meant very little time for photography in 2021. Luckily all that is finished now and we can soon enjoy the warmer seasons again in a garden full of wings, fins, fluffy tails, and flowers.
As a kick-off to this new year of photography, I visited the cold northern parts of Finland and Norway, together with 5 highly talented nature photographers. While temperatures back home reached +20°C, we were experiencing snow blizzards, cold sessions in drafty hides and getting pooped on by thousands of birds. Definitely one of the better photography trips I’ve been on though, all thanks to Stefan Gerrits Photography for putting together the perfect trip to the Varanger Peninsula!
Anyhow, this is the first of many images I will share from this trip. The European Shags (the bird, not that other thing….) at the island of Hornøya were closely sitting together, forming this dark patch of feathers with here and there some bright yellow cheeks and a pair of vivid green eyes staring back at you.
So many of you have asked me where I’ve been lately as there haven’t been any updates on my blog for the last weeks. I simply needed a vacation away from SL and blogging, but now I’m back!
