Caught In Flight
View allAll Photos Tagged flights
** I guess we all take birds ability to fly for granted, I still think the fact that they can defy the gravity that holds us to the ground is pretty extraordinary . Most birds do look perfectly adapted to the activity of flight, Gannets come to mind . There are some birds however that really do not look like flight is part of their nature . These flamingoes fall into this category they look perfect in a lake but flying !!. Of course they fly perfectly well and to see a group of them over ones head is a remarkable sight.
The photograph is from 2018 at the pont de Gau reserve in the Camargue

This is a green-winged teal drake flying at Greenway Park, across the lake from Koll wetlands. Late afternoon, taking advantage of golden hour light.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
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

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.
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.
