Another common bird at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is the White-faced Ibis. Every morning when approaching the refuge, we saw large flocks of them flying around looking for the best places to forage. It's a bit tricky to get a good shot of one though. The brightness and angle of light has to be just right to get the iridescence to show up on their plumage and
to illuminate their namesake white face.
Another of my shots of this species is the cover photo on the Cornell "All About Birds" website. Here's a link:
Some more great Jazz music at the Manly Jazz Festival this afternoon, and another opportunity to experiment with multiple exposures.
I really liked the way the Bass Player's face created a progression of its own.
9 exposures on Average mode (in Camera)
We went to a place in Arizona where we were assured that we would see these Warblers, but it didn't happen! However, in a totally different location where we did not expect to find them, we had one lone Warbler come and visit just long enough for us to get a few decent shots. The challenge made the success sweeter!

This Cheetah, with two others, ambushed an impala in an impressive attack.
What impressed me the most at the time was the rush and the noise of the gallop of the group of impalas, realizing the imminence of the attack.
To cap things off, the Cheetahs didn't attack the Impala's jugular, which made him groan in pain, leaving all the spectators dumbfounded.
In the photo, the moment the Cheetah turns towards me with a bloody face.

I'm going back to Berlin for a bit...partly because I'm reading a good novel about it and enjoying Deutschland'83 on the telly!
Strange street art but there you go...
Early last fall I captured this image of the Bald Faced Hornet on our back deck. When I read up on him, it said he is actually a member of the Yellow Jacket wasps and not a true hornet. Either way, I was not happy to have him visit. I react quite strongly to bee and wasp stings so I always carry a small container of white vinegar with me to apply to a sting quickly to neutralize the effects. It works within minutes if I apply it right after the sting. The other reason we don’t like the wasps hanging around is because they strip pieces of wood off the posts. I thought initially when I discovered this, that a neighbourhood cat was scratching at our deck. I guess the wasps find it easy material for making their paper nests. This is my Wing Wednesday post for the day.
