"This could be the time for you and me.

Eric Clapton " We're all the Way"

“Once you have tasted flight,

you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,

for there you have been,

and there you will always long to return.”

This American wigeon was about to cross the path at Commonwealth Lake, when a pedestrian approached. So it took flight to hurry across.

In the Portland area, when gulls show up, it indicates that there's stormy weather at the coast, so they come in to shelter. We've been seeing gulls the last several days, and I've heard that there are gale-force winds at the coast. Does make for opportunities to catch these guys in flight!

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

This Great Blue Heron flew by where I was shooting ducks, and made a fine subject.

This great blue heron took off from the other side of the lake, then flew right next to us.

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.

Sunday, the Barn Swallows were active on the lake at Koll wetlands. Got this one preparing to land.

I tend to struggle with birds in flight, so was quite pleased to capture this one.

This cormorant was working one part of the lake, then evidently was dissatisfied, so moved to the west end. Fortunately for me, I was well situated for the flight.

I love shooting ibises in flight - once I trained on them to shoot a bird in flight correctly.

Finally caught up with the Kestrel along the river path at Attenborough Nature Reserve, stayed in one place long enough for me to catch up and finally get some in flight images.

Many thanks for taking the time to look at my pictures, for your kind comments and favorites.
