Today's image, while not technically proficient, shows a huge colony of Common Murres on a large rock outcropping just beyond the Yaquina Head Lighthouse in Newport, Oregon. There were tens of thousands of birds on this rock and a couple of adjacent rocks. In the background, you can see the fuzzy images of thousands more murres in the water. I have never seen such a large flock of birds before.
Murres can dive up to 100 feet for food and can fly up to 200 kilometers from their nest to bring back food for their chicks. A group of murres are collectively known as a "bazaar" and a "fragrance" of murres. I can tell you from personal experience that this scene was reminiscent of a middle eastern bazaar and there was a definite fragrance to these murres. I can't imagine what this rock is like when the chicks start to hatch. What a scene that must be!
The one odd looking bird with the blue neck is a Brandt's Cormorant. While this image only shows the one cormorant, there were others interspersed on the colony. The colony was so large that you would need a wide angle lens to get it all in the frame. But it was so far away that the birds would have been indistinguishable from the rocks. So I chose to take a close up of a small portion of the rock.
Can you find the egg in this image? At least I think it's an egg.

One of eight common hawker dragonflies emerging today (27 June) from the Lon Mor ponds (Trossachs). I've never found so many emerging on one day, so this is clearly peak hawker emergence time. Judging by size, shape and colour, seven of them were almost ready for their first flight. Three still had their wings in the closed position. Three of them had already opened their wings by the time I saw them. Two of them opened their wings whilst I was watching them [e.g. photos 1 & 2]. I found them all over a two hour period (11:00 to 13:10), although the last one I found was in fact the least well-developed and still had a curved abdomen [photo 3]. As always with emergents, they can be hard to photograph due to being in amongst rushes, near the edge of water, and rarely with the light coming from the 'right' angle!
My wife and I arrived at this observation point within the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana to see if we could see any wildlife. It actually was pretty "dead" as they say. The wind was very strong so not many birds were moving, and alligators that I used to always see here were nowhere in sight. As I walked around the caliche parking lot, I came within feet of stepping on this common nighthawk that was resting on the ground. It jumped into some marsh grasses and then took off. I was only able to get a few shots before it went on its way. Luckily one time it flew right in front of me.
Mi esposa y yo llegamos a este punto de observación dentro del Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Sabine, en Luisiana, para ver si podÃamos ver algún animal. De hecho, estaba prácticamente "muerto", como dicen. El viento era muy fuerte, asà que no se movÃan muchas aves, y los caimanes que siempre veÃa aquà no estaban a la vista. Mientras caminaba por el estacionamiento de caliche, estuve a pocos pies de pisar un chotacabras zumbón que descansaba en el suelo. Saltó sobre unas hierbas de la marisma y luego emprendió el vuelo. Solo pude sacar unas pocas fotos antes de que siguiera su camino. Por suerte, una vez voló directamente en frente de mÃ.
I spent most of last year trying to get a photo of a common blue and every one I saw foiled my every attempt...that was until now...phew!
Common Sandpiper - River Crouch, Hullbridge, Essex. Such a small wader especially when on the far bank of the river!

This stand of Common Spotted Orchids (Dactylorhiza fuchsii) was in perfect summer bloom. It was growing with many others in the rather wild Wych Valley to the far southwest of Cheshire.
