This little figure reminded me of George Michael so in honour of him I've named it after one of his songs. :)

Double-crested Cormorants are fast flyers and I'm usually lousy at capturing fast flyers. However, I had a bit of luck with this one as it flew by in Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah.

But even with 1/1250 shutter speed, there's still a bit of wing motion blur. Yep, that's a fast flyer.

Another installment from our recent three-state journey.

I'm still on a quest to catch one of these little welcome swallows at the moment it dips into the water. I'm slowly getting closer! I still haven't figured out whether they are just having a quick dip to bathe or are just grabbing a very quick drink. Either way, it is very entertaining to sit and watch them.

 

Happy Wing Wednesday!

This is near Lauderdale, Ms. and the Alabama state line. I really like the back door on this old store. Its a nice one. I checked, and Sprite was launched nationally in 1961. I don't know if this mural is that old, but just saying that it could be, maybe.

I'm not the fishing type of street photographer. So, shots like these don't happen too often to me. I had to walk faster to get ahead of her and prepare for the shot.

A few months ago I was walking in a forest near the Naarderlake when I heard a lot of rustling going on around me. And then suddenly I saw a large group of bank voles running around, the first time that I ever saw that sort of spectacle.

 

But goodness how fast they were and how unpredictable. They popped up everywhere, but also they hid under leaves, went into little holes in the ground, and came up in a completely different place.

 

I felt like a predator not knowing were to look or on what animal to focus so most of the shots I took were awful. This is the only shot that more or less is acceptable. But what a treat it was to observe them!

Hope people are not getting bored of these!

 

1/50 Shutter., this time gliding... which made the subject more stable for panning (wing flapping invariably causes body movement)

 

I find this sort of photography fun and challenging., and it creates the opportunity for something quite ordinary (a Heron flying past) to become something extraordinary in a photographic sense

 

Einen ordentlichen Freischnitt würde dem Motiv wahrscheinlich guttun, allerdings geht es so ja auch. Nur um die Stelle zu erreichen, muss man sich durch das Unterholz quälen. Das taten wir für 232 609, welche mit dem EZ 51617 durch das Pegnitztal kam. Hier überfährt sie gerade die Pegnitz, um Sekunden später in den Vogelherdtunnel einzufahren. Im Hintergrund die idyllische Ortschafft Enzendorf.

The Greyhound is an ancient and noble breed renowned as the fastest dog on Earth, but also famous for being a docile "45-mph couch potato" in the home. They make calm, affectionate, and low-maintenance family pets for the right household.

Key Characteristics

Speed:

Greyhounds can reach speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h) in just a few strides, thanks to their unique, aerodynamic build, deep chest, flexible spine, and long, powerful legs.

Temperament:

Despite their athletic prowess, Greyhounds are gentle, sensitive, and quiet dogs. They are non-aggressive, typically get along well with people and other dogs, and are known for their calm, even-tempered nature indoors.

Exercise Needs:

They are built for sprinting, not endurance, and require surprisingly little exercise—around an hour of daily activity, ideally split into two shorter walks with the chance for a supervised sprint in a securely fenced area.

Prey Drive:

As sighthounds, they have a strong instinct to chase fast-moving objects (like squirrels or rabbits). For this reason, they should generally remain on a lead in open public spaces and a secure, high-fenced garden is essential.

Greyhounds are one of the oldest breeds in history, appearing in ancient Egyptian art dating back to 4000 BCE and the only dog breed mentioned by name in the Bible.

The Graphosoma lineatum is a stink bug that quirts an irritant to birds who decide to aim its way for a snack. Blackbirds try to peck and swallow at such a speed that the bug has no time to squirt. It might be nice to imagine that the beautiful and varied songs of blackbirds are also due to their agile minds.
