Small and distinctive falconlike kite. Light underneath, blue-gray above with conspicuous black shoulders formed by black wing coverts. Juveniles have a scaly back and brownish-washed breast. Found in open savannah, semi-desert, and agricultural lands with scattered woods; frequently seen on exposed perches. Varied flight style, hovering like a kestrel or gliding like a harrier with deep wingbeats and raised wings.
a swarm of Semipalamted Sandpipers flies over the waters of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. As high tide approaches the birds have to take to the air to find a safe place to land and wait for the waters to recede in order to get to their food source in the mudflats of the bay. This is their annual stopover point each summer before making a 3-4 day non-stop flight to South America-DSC_5156

DEAR FRIENDS! IF YOU CAN VISIT MY B&W PHOTOGRAPHY :) :
There were no pretty birds around so I settled for a plain brown bird that is almost invisible. You are not always dealt good hands, it is how well you play the cards you have.
Another bird on our fence - I caught her as she was doing her preening thing, and got an interesting expression...
Sandhill cranes below and geese above showcase a wonderful birding morning in the Pacific Northwest.
I will be traveling the next couple of weeks, so it may be a while before I can review and comment.
This is what wikipedia says: Strelitzia /strɛˈlɪtsiə/[3] is a genus of five species of perennial plants, native to South Africa. It belongs to the plant family Strelitziaceae.[4] A common name of the genus is bird of paradise flower/plant, because of a resemblance of its flowers to birds-of-paradise.
This is the Strelitzia reginae.
Bird City is located in a wetland on an island in the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge north of Rockport, Texas. In search of the elusive Whooping Crane by boat, we came upon this neighborhood of the city, which contains White Pelicans, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Ibis, Roseate Spoonbills, a duck or two and a few black grackles, but no Whoopers.
