Feather Addiction (No birds)

Well, everybody wants a part of my
Black feathers, black feathers
Well, everybody wants a part of my
Black feathers, black feathers
You were laughing at the start
Now we're leaving the older part
We're trapped, don't drown in your lies
I wanna see, see your demise
But they came to me in the pouring rain
Their eyes were closed and they feel ashamed
They came to me in the pouring rain
Their eyes were closed and they feel ashamed
But I, as you know, as you know, as you know I don't want to
I want as much, want as much, want as much, my friend
Well, everybody wants a part of my
Black feathers, black feathers
Well, everybody wants a part of my
Black feathers, black feathers
Found this Great Egret getting breakfast at a local pond. Made My Day !!
The feather was eventually lost to the wind and water... not a Ladies Hat : )
The elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans.
They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill. Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century, sparking conservation movements and some of the first laws to protect birds.
Great Egrets fly slowly but powerfully: with just two wing-beats per second their cruising speed is around 25 miles an hour.
Though it mainly hunts while wading, the Great Egret occasionally swims to capture prey or hovers (somewhat laboriously) over the water and dips for fish.
The oldest known Great Egret was 22 years, 10 months old and was banded in Ohio.

The only editing I did was sharpening,cropping and a little color boost.Love the Nikon D2H and the Nikon 70-300mm vr.The orange color you see was a car.
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.

Macro Monday's theme is "low key".
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.

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.

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