The snow was all melted, and the sun made a rare appearance for a few hours. This Black-capped Chickadee stopped by his favorite tree to give me a hasty "good bye" as I was leaving the marsh. He hopped in and hopped out, and I left.
An energetic Orange-crowned Warbler showed off its insect prize early in the morning. The warblers are eating constantly to accumulate fat and energy for their long migration south.

The Sparkling Violetear is one of the most widely distributed species of hummingbird in the Andes, as it occurs from northern Venezuela south to northwestern Argentina; it also has an outpost on the tepuis of southern Venezuela and adjacent northern Brazil. In common with other species of violetear, it is not a bird of deep forest. Instead it is found at forest edge and open areas with scattered shrubs; it also adapts to nonnative flowering trees such as Eucalyptus. Sparkling Violetears are energetic songsters, and repeat their simple song for long periods of time. Sparkling Violetears are similar to the Green Violetear (Colibri thalassinus), but are larger, and have an extensive blue patch on the belly. Sparkling Violetears also tend to occur at higher elevations than does the Green Violetear; in at least some parts of its range, however, the Sparkling is an elevational migrant, and so is found over a very broad elevational zone. doi.org/10.2173/bow.spvear1.01

This is my best shot so far of a very cute, very energetic Golden-crowned Kinglet. Peace Valley Park, New Britain PA.
Small energetic plover with a fine bill, white underparts, and pale gray back. Lacks breast band. Adult has an obvious rusty-red cap, whereas juvenile has varying reddish tinges on the back of the head. Occurs beside a wide variety of saline wetlands where it moves quickly as it forages along the ground. Common around inland lakes as well as at the coast. (eBird)

Tiny little bird on the mud flats looking for worms. A big crop, but this was the only time it was "close" enough for a photo.

The Carolina Wren is easily recognized by the white stripe above each eye and its distinctive "tail-up" posture that it assumes as it flits about the bushes. Energetic and vocal this little wren has one of the loudest songs of any small bird. Males sing their “tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea." song hundreds of times a day, all year long. One particularly busy bird was recorded singing almost 3,000 times in a single day!
Carolina wrens form lifelong pair bonds and pairs often stay together for years. The birds move and feed together, where you see one, you will usually see its mate foraging close by. The pair works together to build a nest, which can be in a tree hole or on a branch, but Carolina wrens are well known for choosing to nest in man made structures such as mail boxes, door wreaths, flower pots, or even a cardboard box in a garage. They use sticks, hair, feathers, and anything that looks suitable—even shed snake skins. They often build multiple nests then select one to raise their chicks.
When feeding, a Carolina wren hops around on the ground and in the underbrush turning over dead leaves, and probing cracks and crannies for spiders, insects and larvae. They also eat fruit and berries, but rarely come to bird feeders.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
This image was taken for the themed group Smile on Saturday. This week's theme is "floriography" The information below about the Gerbera Daisy comes from the following website. I personally found it to be very interesting and plan to visit the site to read about other flower meanings.
The gerbera daisy is native to South Africa and lush with bright colors and a happy beauty about it. These daisies are strong perennial plants with colors from deepest red to warm yellows, creams, white and peach shades. Not surprisingly the Victorian meaning of the gerbera daisy is happiness. The gerbera daisy seems to hold its rays open to the world radiating pure happiness. Who wouldn’t get a smile on their face when presented with a bouquet of these beauties?
What Does the Gerbera Daisy Mean? Gerbera Daisies have several meanings, but all lean to happiness. The Egyptian meaning of gerberas is closeness to nature and devotion to the sun. The Celts believed that the gerbera would lessen the sorrows and stresses of everyday life. Any type of daisy equals the truth or happiness of children. It is thought that if someone gives a gift of covered gerbera daisies that it symbolizes they are hiding something.
Etymological Meaning of the Gerbera Flower: The Latin name for the gerbera daisy is Gerbera jamesonii and is part of the large Asteraceae family of flowers. These daisies were named after the German botanist and doctor Traugott Gerber. Also known as the Transvaal Daisy. A Scotsman, Robert Jameson found these beauties growing wild around the dug up gold mines he was in charge of in Transvaal, South Africa, and Mr. Jameson is credited with also discovering these flowers.
The symbolism of the gerbera daisy is the simple beauty of a very happy life. Throughout history, the gerbera daisy has symbolized the innocent hearts of children, attributed to the white gerbera, and, happiness and gratefulness for the life you have been given. The meaning is more energized than contentedness or mellowness. It is happiness that bubbles, fizzes, and pops with joyous surprises.
There is an energetic playfulness to these flowers, which is evident in all their radiant colors. These are not flowers for regrets. These flowers are a celebration of life!
Gerberas are available in rich reds, oranges, yellows peaches, creams, and white and there a few distinct meanings including...
orange: sunshine of life
Red: unconscious in love or fully immersed in love
White: is a symbol of purity or innocence, childlike
Pink: admiration, adoration, or high esteem
yellow: cheerfulness

When I saw my first example of the result of my shaking hands I immediately threw out the window my attempts to make a sharp picture of the lines and the cracks of the varnish. Hello ICM (intentional camera movement)...
Energetic Double Breasted Cormorant clearing water from its wings after a deep dive.
Considered rare to the area although sightings seem to be increasing over the last few years. Usually gone by mid-October.
The sanderling is a small, plump, energetic wading bird. It has a short straight black bill and medium length black legs. It is pale grey above and white underneath, and there is a black mark at its shoulder where the folded wing meets the body. It does not breed in the UK, but is a winter visitor and passage migrant in spring and autumn, journeying to and from their high Arctic breeding grounds. What they eat: Small marine worms, crustaceans and molluscs (Courtesy RSPB)
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated.
After an exciting Berlin weekend with dear Flick friends and beautiful holidays in Sweden I'm happy to be back again, full of energy and with tons of photos :-)
The Winter Wren (Trogoldytes trodlodytes) is a tiny but highly energetic bird. Indeed, this little one was no larger than a mouse and put on quite a show as it scoured the wet detritus for insect treats (no tricks, please).
This bird packs a vocal punch. Perhaps size really isn't everything--pound-for-pound, the winter wren's song is 10 times stronger than that of a crowing rooster!
The accessories were made from many cypraeas and should have taken long time to assemble all of them. At Taum Island, Papua New Guinea.
White Ibis energetically forage in the muck with their long, curved beaks. This one came up with a crustacean. Riverstone Wetlands, Sugar Land, Texas.
Between energetic intervals among a group of Common Merganser males and females (such as seen in the previous image www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/52002325527/in... ), there were periods of rest and relaxation. Those times included the maintenance activity of preening, which this image of a female shows well. I particularly like how the serrated mandibles are evident in this photo, a feature that is recognized in the French common name “bec-scie,” meaning saw-bill. Those pointed projections are an adaptation to grasp the slippery fish that are their main prey, which they dive after. This bird was at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Small, cute, energetic nuthatch. Distinctive with bold black-and-white head pattern, blue-gray upperparts, and orangey belly. Males are brighter than females. Typically found in coniferous or mixed forests, often in mixed flocks with other songbirds. Creeps along tree trunks and branches, often upside-down. Nomadic; they sometimes move south in large numbers in fall and winter. Visits feeders. Listen for nasal calls. (eBird)
Sarsparilla Trail, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. May 2022.
A colorful, energetic warbler of northern forests, the Canada Warbler spends little time on its breeding grounds. It is one of the last warblers to arrive north in the spring, and one of the first to leave in the fall to return to its South American wintering grounds. This steely gray and yellow songbird is sometimes called the "necklaced warbler" thanks to the bold black necklace that it wears across its chest.
Freezing a dynamic scene of parasailing and boating activities on the sparkling water creating a sense of energy and leisure.
The vibrant blue of the water and sky, contrasted with the bright white reflections and colorful parachutes, makes the image visually appealing and evocative of a sunny day by the sea.
The different elements two parasails, various boats are arranged in distinct horizontal layers (foreground boats, mid-ground boats, sky with parasails) which adds a sense of depth to the scene.
The white wakes created by the speedboats act as natural leading lines, drawing the viewer's gaze from the foreground toward the subjects in the middle ground and background, enhancing the sense of depth and movement.
The lighting is harsh and direct, typical of midday sun, causing intense specular highlights on the water surface that create a shimmering effect. The color palette is dominated by various shades of blue (sky and water), with contrasting pops of yellow and blue/white from the parachutes.
The bright colors, clear sky, and dynamic activities convey a cheerful, energetic atmosphere. The vibrant blue of the water and sky, contrasted with the bright white reflections and colorful parachutes, makes the image visually appealing and evocative of a sunny day by the sea.
Shot from a slightly elevated perspective providing a good overall view of the activity contributing to a clear story of an active day on the water.
A visit to the Sequoia farm ... I had the whole park to myself. Whatever the weather, this place is a place full of energy and high vibrations :)))

Energetic Southern Cloudywing Skipper butterfly preparing to take nectar from the flower of a wild meadow vetch.
Considered rare. Subtle color/tones gives this species a drab easy to miss appearance. Frequently mistaken for a Wasp. Five years ago, it was considered common in this location. This year's four specimens are the first there observed since then.
This energetic kangaroo male was about to turn right when he spotted a human (me) and he corrected slightly his itinerary to avoid collision.

Not recommended unless you happen to have wings!
Although a Puffin apparently has to flap its wings between three and four hundred times per minute just to stay in the air!
Thus making this particular manoeuvre an extremely energetic event!
A very energetic and cute little bird, size of a kids palm maybe. The birds follow rains and they are usually seen in the month of August. We chanced upon a good number of them accidentally y'day and had a good time. Though the light was low, managed a few good shots.
The bird's calls are very nice and pleasant, a two noted call which is very easy to hear and id, but the bird itself is very hard to sight in the grass / natural habitat.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.

A very energetic and delightful little bird, size of a kids palm maybe. The birds breed during rains and are usually seen after the first rains. These birds have a very nice and easy to remember two noted call "Chirp Chirp" which is very easy to hear and id, but the bird itself is very hard to sight in the grass / natural habitat.
There are only a handful times where I got decent shots of this bird since they always stick to the grass. They are easy to hear and last season in a grassland, we heard 100's of them bursting with energy at the same time and it was a truly memorable experience. There was a swathe of green grass till the land meets the sky, and calls of this quail were everywhere.
We sighted several over the past few days and some walked across a small mound giving us these shots!
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
My favourite two genres.... wild animals and action photography!! This gorgeous Otter really came through for me, just in running towards his keeper..

Randomly growing plants by the river bank framed against vibrant sky, creating an artistically energetic chaos.
An energetic performance filled with passion where the audience is transported to an underground café in Spain. The illusion is aided, in part, by the exposed brick walls at the back of the stage, not to mention the several audience members who impulsively yelled out “Olé!” For a short while, these exclamations caused heads to turn quizzically, but it didn’t take long for most to embrace these customary interjections of excitement.
