Phil (Red-bellied woodpecker) certainly seems to be a bit of a show off these days. All of those red feathers are really starting to pop.
The addition of moss, bromeliads and staghorns to the oaks has proven to be a terrific habitat enhancement for my little visitors. Phil and Robbie (gray squirrel) are especially fond of the bromeliads and use them like little refreshment stands.
The next habitat enhancement project is adding resurrection fern to my oaks. I have been on the lookout for resurrection fern for a while now. As luck would have it, during my trip to Brooksville FL. over the weekend I met a couple that has the fern all over the oaks on their enormous property.
I asked if I could purchase some and they said no but I could have some. That certainly made my day! I was gifted a whole bin full, probably enough to establish the fern in all four of my oaks.
I hope that you have an incredible day, happy snapping.
NB. No human that I could see frightened these Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) to take flight. Just skittish.
Basically as shot in RAW with no curves or vibrancy or saturation. Some slight effort to reduce noise from ISO 5000. Should I try to enhance?
Thanks for looking!
Perhaps I should make an album of outtakes someday.
This maybe four day old Red-necked Grebe chick rests its head on the back of its parent, covered by the parents wing. I decided I wanted to get some extreme closeups of this recent newborn, hence the 600 prime with 2x. The parent is sitting on four more eggs, so it will be interesting to see how many more hatch and become part of this grebe family.
I visited today and there are only two chicks with this family and they are no longer sitting on the nest. So, I suspect this family is as large as it's going to get.
Taken 25 June 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska.
Back to Trout Lake and an early morning frost on the Sunshine Coast. The weather called for a touch of snow on this day, which led to plenty of interesting candy coated trees. My thought on this shot was to use the red frost covered trees, to imitate a shadow, to the white frost covered trees. In turn, that would help give the illusion of dimension.
When I saw the ducks land and begin to swim, they turned and angled straight for my shot, as if it were planned. Perhaps it is true when they say, "luck favours the prepared".
This Short-eared Owl was perched on a distant post this morning with it's feathers all ruffled.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
Something a little unusual., a feather in calm water made for a nice photo opportunity., but it became an irresistible photo opportunity when our special guest star Damselfly dropped in and decided to go surfing on it!
The little guy actually turned out to be pretty good on his improvised surf board., that was until another Damsel came along and knocked him off!
it sends my eyes a bit fuzzy too, but after taking this at various apertures I got fascinated by the tiny details of the feather touching the glass...so I kept it fuzzy :)
Smile on Saturday: FEATHERS
Diese Feder brachte mir mein Sohn aus dem Urlaub mit. Was ich bis jetzt nicht wusste, es ist eine Zauberfeder !! 😜
My son brought me this feather from his holiday. What I didn't know until now, it is a magic feather !! 😜
My favourite Albatross feather, I found it on my beach. It's beautiful, it makes me happy and it didn't cost a thing.

Have a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend.
I think this hen is on its way to get to the other side of the road.
Sabellidae, or feather duster worms, are a family of marine polychaete tube worms characterized by protruding feathery branchiae. Sabellids build tubes out of a tough, parchment-like exudate, strengthened with sand and bits of shell. Unlike the other sabellids, the genus Glomerula secretes a tube of calcium carbonate instead. Sabellidae can be found in subtidal habitats around the world. Their oldest fossils are known from the Early Jurassic. Feather-duster worms have a crown of feeding appendages or radioles in two fan-shaped clusters projecting from their tubes when under water. Each radiole has paired side branches making a two-edged comb for filter feeding. Most species have a narrow collar below the head. The body segments are smooth and lack parapodia. The usually eight thoracic segments bear capillaries dorsally and hooked chaetae (bristles) ventrally. The abdominal segments are similar, but with the position of the capillaries and chaetae reversed. The posterior few abdominal segments may form a spoon-shaped hollow on the ventral side. Size varies between tiny and over 10 cm (2.5 in) long. Some small species can bend over and extend their tentacles to the sea floor to collect detritus. (Wikipedia) Mabini, South Luzon, Philippines.
Growing up in Stratford Ontario, the annual high school football match-up between the 2 schools in town was known as the Red Feather football game (for reasons I never quite knew). In honour of that on this Superbowl Sunday, I've posted this image taken this past week of this red feathered Cardinal.
Best of luck to Chiefs and 49's today and looking forward to an entertaining game!!
