"Macro Mondays" this week's theme "Summer Olympic Sports" HMM
Since 1992, badminton has been a Summer Olympic sport with five events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles.
The shuttlecock cone is formed from 16 or so overlapping feathers, usually goose or duck, embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. To ensure that shuttlecock rotate consistently, only feathers from the birds' left wings are used. Feather shuttles may come off the strings at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph).

Feeding birds are forever retreating suddenly to their hideyholes when spooked on our patio. But there is no need to call in Scotland Yard's Flying Squad... A tiny telltale feather clinging to the leaf of our Clematis montana has given away one of their haunts ... :-))
A windy day on the lake… birds had to fight against the cyclone, there were ripples and small waves on the water… but this feather stayed stable and on her own - have a great Sunday ahead….

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all...................... Emily Dickinson
I do not believe that any peacock envies another peacock his tail, because every peacock is persuaded that his own tail is the finest in the world. The consequence of this is that peacocks are peaceable birds.

Mute Swan [Cygnus olor]
Cold, blustery and very windy day...lots of swans in the harbour doing just this!
They weren’t actually asleep - their legs and feet were still paddling. Every now and then one would stick his head up, have a look around and then snuggle back down.

Glass eyes and porcelain skin
Look to her and think of sin
Her touch is like a hazy dream
Her mind is in a world unseen...

A stern looking Javan myna is protecting a feather it found. In Fort Canning, Singapore. It got too hot for sightseeing. So I stopped to look for birds in the shade.

Great Horned Owl Owlet all puffed up and giving me the eye. This is one of three and was doing it's best to stay near mom who was close by.
A spectacular and distinctive flycatcher, the bright red Vermilion Flycatcher inhabits riparian areas and scrub in the southwestern United States and southward. It perches conspicuously, making periodic flights to nab insect prey.
The male Vermilion Flycatcher often seeks to initiate copulation by delivering a butterfly or other showy insect to the female.
The oldest recorded Vermillion Flycatcher was a male, and at least 4 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mexico in 1972, the same country where he had been banded.
