I certainly did not expect to see a merganser cruising the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe, but here she is. We came upon her sleeping on a beach area. A crow startled her and she slipped into the water to resume her napping. Eventually, she did the routine - a little preening, drinking that fresh water, and finally off to fish. She was all alone. I don't know if she missed the flight. But it was a lovely afternoon for a cruise I guess.
It had been a few years since I had seen a Common Redpoll. Still think the name does not match the bird.

Nothing really special about this one but it is the first time I caught a good shot of this species semi out in the open. So was a happy moment for me.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
Harbinger of Monsoon,this locally migratory bird calls "brain fever" with the pitch rising with each call.
Its range covers much of North America and some of Central America. Its habitat is open areas with low vegetation and some bare ground. Adult butterflies feed on flowers with certain pollinator cues: yellow flowers that are 'pre-change', or flowers whose color has not been changed due to insect visitation or other factors. Their wingspan is typically between 2 and 2.5 inches (5 - 6.5 cm).

A Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus tinnunculus) flies above me as I return home after spending a day at the 2023 RAF Cosford Air Show.
I'd spent all day photographing aircraft and to be honest, in the challenging conditions, I was more pleased with how this image came out!

I was so excited to see this Loon because I haven't seen one for a very long time. Taken on a short trip to Fairmont, British Columbia.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
I had been invited to a restricted area in South Florida and saw more Nighthawks than I had ever seen in my life. It was a really neat experience.
A mixed flock of redpolls and siskins came by this morning to tear the birch seeds apart. Didn't last long or provide many photo ops, and was completely frenetic while it was happening.
Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) male.
These dragonflies are braver than most and not so easily spooked. This one was seen perched on a plant in my pond, and although it's named the Common Darter, I see very few in my garden. I do see them in abundance when I go out and about though.
Shot with my D70, a camera that can be picked up for less than £200 these days. As you can see, it's still a more than capable camera.
Wishing you all a great day!
