These birds are quite common but usually very shy, this time I was lucky to get close enough for a reasonable "in flight" capture
Cheers!

These are the last birds of the summer to breed and raise little goldfinches. Since these primarily eat seeds (granivores), they wait until late July. Isn’t that clever?
I should have increased the shutter speed to capture the feathers in flight better.

As I haven't been to the coast for a while I looked back through the last few trips for something suitable. I'm always fascinated by waves crashing over wave sculpted rocks. The addition of a. few seconds exposure highlights the beauty, a does the little patch of sunlight bringing out some colour. Museum of Flight is a. beautiful song and title by Damien Jurado. It's also very topical in these strange days.Stay safe everyone and thanks for your wonderful words and friendship.
Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae. Really captured in mid-air during erratic flight. Couldn’t be happier.

A Roseate Spoonbill passes overhead in flight.
This one was photographed in northern Florida - some 'informed' sites still list them as south Florida birds - which certainly isn't true any longer. Populations are very much reduced in traditional southern locations - they are only able to feed in shallow water (short legs) and as climate change and changing waters (rising salty sea water levels) in Florida 'change' things, the Spoonbills adapt. So their numbers don't seem reduced overall, just relocated.
On a January evening, while I was photographing pink clouds against darker clouds during a sunset on the outskirts of Cody Wyoming, I was rewarded with a flight of Canada geese that passed right over me.
I have the week off so I had an opportunity to get out early to the riparian preserve. Frankly summer in Phoenix is not the best time of year to go birding, But I enjoyed myself and watched a few hummingbirds enjoying a mesquite tree. This one a female. I’m told by an expert that its probably a black-chinned hummingbird (my original ID was Anna’s Hummingbird)

I put together this 3 shot composite of our backyard male Oriole taking flight. At 20 fps my Sony a9 was able to capture his wing positions perfectly.
I once took a flight west and never flew back. I saw the splendor of the greatest ocean on earth and never wanted to leave. It has so many moods, so many faces, so many personalities. I love it. Especially at sunset when every few seconds the colors change, one more beautiful than the next. I found my forever home on earth.
Birds in flight, an excellent opportunity to practice and improve camera control skills.

I was curious to see how many Yellow-billed Spoonbill in-flight captures I posted on Flickr. I've found only one posted in 2015! I also discovered that it had one view and no faves - for some unexplicable reasons I posted several images of that spoonbill as private. Anyway - this is my second post of the Yellow-billed Spoonbil in flight, almost 8 years later...
PS. I've made some of the private shots public now (-;
Happy Sunday and HSS! Trying to post a bit more now that I'm back in New Jersey. Gone for two months and it will take four month to get caught up with yard work. Since I've been back I drove my daughter to North Carolina to pick up her new car and to Virginia to rescue a pony for Marybeth. Not to mention the mountain of wood I've cut and split from the trees that were cut down in June. All in all, life's been good...
