As I have hand fed Azizi all winter, now when I bring him out, he automatically dribbles, which is what happened on his little photo shoot this afternoon!! Lots of dribble, all over the strawberries and me but it's a cute look!

Going to the archives for a shot that always makes me smile. I hope this shot of a young crow on the bird bath gives you a smile, too.

P.S. Some of you have commented on the color of this young one's eyes. Baby crows have blue or blue gray eyes that turn to brown as they mature.

Thank you all for your comments, faves and support. I do not know why lately there was a sudden growth of interests in my work, so, I am sorry if I do not reply or reciprocate your comments and faves.

. . . when I think of You !

This was from a trip with my good friend and guide, Ron Bielefeld (Whistling Wings Photography) and long-time friend Mike Stern. We didn’t get a ton of drinking shots, but we got some good ones. It was unusual in that the water was calm and reflective. Often, they want some surface texture but we got lucky this day. I call this one “Swallow-tail Dribble”. These birds arrive in Florida in February – March, breed, then return to South America in August or September. They are here now, and I think they are grouping up in anticipation of their long journey. They hunt and feed their young while flying. It’s not unusual to see a few of them returning to the roost with a small tree frog or lizard being passed from talon to bill and back. As you can see here, they also drink airborne, skimming the surface and scooping up some water.

For Our Daily Challenge: “Perfect Timing, Or Your Best Shot At It”

I’ve been posting archive shots almost exclusively of late, but on Saturday, I found some time to get out and explore a couple of the nature areas near our new home. I didn’t find a lot to photograph…things are still pretty much wearing their winter browns in these parts. But I did spot a couple of swans dabbling for food near the edge of a lake, and they turned out to be photogenic. So here’s at least one new shot, for a change. She had just pulled her head out of the chilly water when this shot was taken.

Boo hauling herself onto the branch, whilst dribbling away!!

(She was paid handsomely in Morio worms after this photo shoot!).

It's okay Mr. Black-necked Stilt. We all dribble while eating sometimes.

Male lesser scaup. First time I've seen a male.

A handsome male cinnamon teal. I really dig their bright red eyes and ruddy plumage.

Encore une nuit à regarder mes photos -inédites sur flickr- et à me rendre compte que parfois les choix que je fais ne sont pas toujours opportuns.

Bon, allez. Par gourmandise, je place cette photo-là que j'avais remisée sans trop savoir pourquoi (du moins il me semble ne pas l'avoir mise).

... La passe à Matterazzi ! Eric Cantona s'interpose ! Très belle reprise de dribble de Cantona, toujours propre !

I posted a male Crossbill taking a drink recently. Well here's a drinking female to even things up. I was quite pleased with this photo as I liked the stream of water droplets dribbling from her bill tip as she raised her head. Crossbills live on a diet of dry seeds from pine cones so need to take in extra water. So they frequently visit puddles to drink where they can be quite confiding and easy to photograph. This was near Holmfirth in West Yorkshire.

There is a Splash Pad in the park and I thought there might be some interesting photos there, but no joy. I did hear this little stream of water dribbling out of the pipe though. ; )

Cute little "Star" our 2 week old call duck in our dam for the first time and loving it. She and "Ringo" see us as their parents and scurry out of the water at any sign of being threatened and will 'hide' under us.

I got to Bushy Park pond before the bird feeders arrived with their bread . . . the ducks and seagulls were just hanging around in anticipation.

She poses well..

Just trimmed this one a little..

Inspired by so many of you, my friends…

This ring necked duck seemed to have a little dribble issue. Perhaps a tissue is in order, eh?

With an overnight low of 13 deg F last night and a day of sun today with a high of about 20 deg F, it seemed a good day to dig into my archive for this image from the glory of May '24 on the duck pond.
