My son Roman found this Humming-bird Moth today, in the memorial garden that we planted for my parents. I've never seen one of these in person before, so I got pretty excited. Photographed in Maryland.

A single image, shot hand held. Canon 80D, Canon MPE macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400, flash set to 1/16th power.

Already showing a bit of gold on the neck . . .

Thanks for Viewing.

Kestrel.

I thought this is a Raven ?

Actually i'm more thinking Jackdaw?

If anybody has any input it would be gratefully appreciated

One of my favourite little birds! I liked this one against the beautiful blue sky, and the little glint in his eye! HEoM ;0)

Glossy ibis feeding chicks at Ocean City Rookery, a loud and rather violent affair. The light on the birds is not perfect, but the nature story is rather compelling, I think.

Roseate Spoonbills are one of the most colorful birds anywhere. This group appears to be heading further south for better weather.

The kori bustard (Ardeotis kori) is the largest flying bird native to Africa. It is a member of the bustard family, which all belong to the order Otidiformes and are restricted in distribution to the Old World. It is one of the four species (ranging from Africa to India to Australia) in the large-bodied genus Ardeotis. The male kori bustard may be the heaviest living animal capable of flight.

Here's one of the baby birds from my bluebird nestbox. :)

The back(side) of the hawk. Wow, it's a big birdie!

just to explain, the white "spots" are water from the wings...
