Feather Addiction (No birds)

A Great Blue Heron stood motionlessly on a railing about three feet above the marsh. Suddenly, his feathers seemed to explode from his body in an unexpected gust of wind. That created a much more interesting image than the 25 or 30 pictures I took of the motionless heron.

These are three macaw feathers (two down feathers from our Green Wing and one small feather from our Hahns-mini macaw). The total frame measures about 1 1/2 inches. I placed a measurement photo in the first comment box.
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 ... :-))

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.

My friend Tom and I were sitting in this rowboat watching a colony of egrets go about their business of building nests and sitting on eggs, when we notice this very active bird flying around with a feather stuck to its toe. He would go pick up a stick and deliver it to his mate and then repeat this with the feather fluttering behind. Because they all looked alike from our vantage point, this one we could keep track of. Here it has dropped off the stick and was heading back for another.

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.

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.
