I went to the cliffs a little later this morning. (I wanted to sleep longer.)
The overcast skies were clearing and I was able to get some juvenile flight shots.
Unfortunately I missed the shot of the parent who flew directly by me with food. I just didn't see it in time.

Came out of the closet yesterday (have been painting, closets, et al) and went outside.
Looked up into this flight of fancy.
And for a moment......took to the air.
after finding out quickly I had single shot set and not getting focus...It's almost like I have to learn this all over again,
Hope everyone is well.

I had been photographing this young bull moose (alces alces) while it was feeding in the shallows and I inadvertently knocked an oar against the side of my small fishing boat. The result was instant flight. Photographed at Wolf Lake, Yukon Territory, Canada. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
This is a female Anna's hummingbird, looking nice and green and maybe even a little plump. I've seen a big increase in hummingbird activity lately. I got chewed out by both males and females today as I checked feeder levels and refilled them. I mean, they got right up in my face, just a few inches from me and chattered at me with aggression. Strongly-worded letter to follow.

Bei unserem Hamburgbesuch durften ein paar Treppen nicht fehlen, war ein wenig wie Schatzsuche..... Adressen hatten wir so in etwa, den richtigen Hauseingang zu finden war aber spannend....

A flock of Ross’s geese takes to the air at the end of the day.
As an afternoon of migratory autumn/winter migratory bird photography runs on into sunset and then twilight, it is inevitable that there will eventually be too little light to photograph the way I might during the daytime. But I usually continue until it is virtually dark — to the point that I may need a headlamp to stow my equipment when I finish. During that final low-light period I often end the cycle of increasing ISO and pushing shutter speed, and instead I drop ISO down to the minimum and let the exposure times lengthen, allowing me to work with motion blur from birds in flight.
We had positioned ourselves near a large flock of geese in a pasture, and they were gradually become more restless, beginning to take off in small groups and depart for parts unknown. Groups tend to depart together, and as they do they rise, with little or no warning, en masse and take to the air. It is hard to say what makes a photograph “realistic,” but I often feel that these masses of blurry birds may suggest the quality of these departing flocks at least as truthfully as stop-motion photographs.

Enjoy!

... wild horse-watchers talk about 'flight distance' when it comes to the number of feet/yards that mustangs will allow between you and them before they flee. For some, the flight distance is a quarter of a mile. For others, it's more like fifty feet. But for some mustangs ... they're so wild ... they don't flee at all. They charge in for a look at the human tucked in the sagebrush!
