We will move away from owls for a bit and post a warm location bird. White Ibis in breeding plumage with his lucky catch. Taken in Florida.
Thank you. Your visit and comments are very much appreciated.
* I made my annual pilgrimage to RSPB Bempton on Wednesday evening . It was unusual weather on the cliffs, warm and still instead of the usual chilly East wind . It obviously effected the birds the Gannets in particularly were flying much lower down the cliffs instead of being at eye level. It made flight shots much more difficult . I have to say I was not too concerned about getting too many images . I still have a lot of photos from Bempton in the archives from 2018, 2019 and 2020
This is one of the few I did take as I was using a long lens 500 mm I could not get it wide enough to catch all the Gannets wing . Stepping back to get a wider view would have been difficult Still I am quite happy with the result.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
Play… Hide and seek the Sun.

Looking directly south at sunset near Harrow, Ontario.
The indistinct islands are distorted due to distance and differences in air temperatures.
For an immature Eagle a wonderful catch - if you enlarge this, you will see he has the fish right at water surface. It looks more like he didn't spear it rather pinched it between the two talons... but under water it probably does has a talon stuck through the fish.

*Süntelbuche im Herbst*
Last Wednesday I drove to the northern Eifel to catch a few autumn moods. Fortunately, the over 200 year old dwarf beech tree on a Celtic burial mound near Blankenheim still had a few autumn-colored leaves ... and occasionally the sun came out.
Letzte Mittwoch fuhr ich in die Nordeifel, um ein paar herbstliche Stimmungen einzufangen. Die über 200 Jahre alte Süntelbuche auf einem keltischen Grabhügel bei Blankenheim hatte zum Glück noch ein paar herbstlich gefärbte Blätter...und gelegentlich zeigte sich auch die Sonne.
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

Finally getting back to the Gym after a lengthy absence.
Fortunately, I still have my “work-out” soundtrack on my phone, and Donovan sang “Catch the Wind” while I was working the machines... and thinking about a title for this Pic.
"Catch the Wind" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. "Catch the Wind" was released in 1965. The single reached No. 4 in the United Kingdom singles chart.

The Sandhill Crane:
These tall, gray-bodied, crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands, fields, and prairies across North America. They group together in great numbers, filling the air with distinctive rolling cries. Mates display to each other with exuberant dances that retain a gangly grace.
The Sandhill Crane’s call is a loud, rolling, trumpeting sound whose unique tone is a product of anatomy: Sandhill Cranes have long tracheas (windpipes) that coil into the sternum and help the sound develop a lower pitch and harmonics that add richness.
Sandhill Cranes are known for their dancing skills. Courting cranes stretch their wings, pump their heads, bow, and leap into the air in a graceful and energetic dance.
Although some start breeding at two years of age, Sandhill Cranes may reach the age of seven before breeding. They mate for life—which can mean two decades or more—and stay with their mates year-round. Juveniles stick close by their parents for 9 or 10 months after hatching.
The earliest Sandhill Crane fossil, estimated to be 2.5 million years old, was unearthed in Florida.
Sandhill Crane chicks can leave the nest within 8 hours of hatching, and are even capable of swimming.
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 37 years, 3 months old. Originally banded in Florida in 1982, it was found in Wisconsin in 2019.

Dull and drizzle but always worth going out... male kingfisher
Many thanks to all those who fave or comment always very much appreciated
Check this American White Pelican with a ginormous catch. Look at it - tail hanging out, head at the throat-side of the pouch. Took the pelican almost 5 minutes to swallow down the hatch.
