Two vibrant kingfishers perch gracefully on a mossy branch, each gazing in opposite directions. The left bird looks slightly downward and to the left, while the right one gazes calmly to the right. Their vivid plumage stands out against the dark green, softly blurred forest background, creating a perfect moment of stillness and symmetry in nature.

The Eurasian Magpie is often unfairly labeled as just a "black and white" bird, but in the right light, its true colors emerge. I caught this one perched among the budding branches, perfectly illuminated by a soft morning glow that set its iridescent plumage ablaze with teal and deep blue.

A quiet moment of elegance from one of our most intelligent garden visitors.

Supongo que un rayito de luz lo mejora todo.

El día se iba. Yo esperaba entre la hierba, y los Araos se atusaban. Click.

Bristle-theighed Curlew. Always a tough species in Nome (or anywhere), and also a priority bird for many. We were fortunate to have a very cooperative bird this year walk up on nearby mounds and do some flybys. Canvas added at the bottom here.

Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth. Their legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet. They can run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances, or cruise at 10 mph over longer distances. A giraffe's neck is too short to reach the ground. As a result, it has to awkwardly spread its front legs or kneel to reach the ground for a drink of water. Giraffes spend most of their lives standing up; they even sleep and give birth standing up.

En esta foto se aprecia perfectamente porque su apellido es tridáctilo. Podemos tomar fantásticas de esta ave si no tenemos miedo de ensuciarnos de arena y conseguir un punto de vista a ras de suelo.

En aquesta foto s'aprecia perfectament perquè el seu cognom és tridàctil. Podem prendre fantàstiques d'aquest ocell si no tenim por d'embrutar-nos d'arena i aconseguir un punt de vista arran de terra.

In this photo it is perfectly appreciated because his surname is tridactyl. We can take fantastic shots of this bird if we are not afraid of getting dirty with sand and getting a point of view at ground level.

Here is the tawny eagle with its prey, I am guessing, perhaps a dove, or some other small bird.

I was poised about 40 feet from the perch this owl was using when he spotted his prey. To my surprise, after he caught it he flew right at me and landed at a perch 15 feet from me. After landing, he spotted me, gave me a few looks, then devoured the grasshopper.

Last light of the day turns their feathers to fluid and makes them look like a painting.

Metallic starling. Aplonis metallica.

The adult has brilliant red eyes, a long forked tail and green-glossed black plumage. Immatures are pale below with dark streaks.

They are very social and flocks of them build messy suspended globular nests. During the height of the breeding season they will attach their nests to nearly any type of tree. Even using the seed stems on palm trees to attach as many nests as possible. They remain in the area until the chicks have all fledged. They gather together into large flocks before heading back to New Guinea around April returning for breeding around September.
