Probably my last post for a while, although I might log in from time to time. For some time (maybe one or two months) I fly off to other places. This time with my camper towards Denmark.
There are probably also some birds there, and as long as the holidays do not start yet, there may also be some space and tranquility. I do wish everyone a nice summer (holiday).
The shot here was taken in Arkemheen, a wonderful bird area in the Netherlands, and I found it again since I am cleaning up my pictures.
I stopped by Whitaker Ponds Nature Park in Portland a few weeks ago, and am glad I did. It's a small pond, with a dock reaching into the lake, and lots of water fowl that aren't much afraid of people. Got several great bird in flight shots from up close!
In flight across Abberton reservoir. They kept circling round and round trying to find an area that wasn’t iced over! They ended up following the crowd!
Two combined captures of mine.

Thanks for your faves and comments. I am back in the groove at last after my laptop died and I bought a Mac :-)
This American wigeon was about to cross the path at Commonwealth Lake, when a pedestrian approached. So it took flight to hurry across.

tips and tricks...i use M mode camera and here i made a little mistake.F5.6 isnt correct,best choice should be in this case F6.3-F7.1...probably i was looking for something else and i saw this guy.1/4000 is good...of course the wrong F5.6 gave me a better and cleaner background

A thank you to Pexels for the background. This is two photos layered together. My photo is of the birds on the wires.
This young double-crested cormorant was visiting with an adult, then headed up the lake for a different view.
Osprey in glide flight looking for a meal
It's worth looking at this enlarged to see the intensity of this bird of preys gaze.
Other photos of this same bird / same flight are in the comments below.
A cold Lake Michigan is the backdrop as this beautiful drake flies past me in winter. That green head and blue wing always strikes me with its beauty!
Taking flight - Captured with a Nikon 810 and a 70/300 @ 300mm I picked up for $200.00 A Good size crop as well ... Near Banff in the mountains , I recommend a prime lens for birds , this was better than I expected to get , but I don't see eagles in range very often in the wild . Or want to spend $ 10,000.00 on a lens ... Im pretty sure these birds rule the sky , I saw one on the Coast of Oregon fly down the coast very high and for miles , never saw its wings move , Amazing !
... barely seen a butterfly this summer, but yesterday I caught this one in my front yard ...
