Dandelions, like all things in nature, are beautiful when you take the time to pay attention to them.

Great Blue Heron prepares to rest after an unsuccessful feeding strike by first getting all its feathers lined up.
Windy day and fluffed feathers make for an interesting scene.

A young Kestrel fresh out of the nest, it couldn't fly, but just sat outside nest. There were four Kestrel chicks this year, this was the boldest. It's been a good year for birds around here, but bad in ways we all know about !!

Resting and trying to stay warm, a female House Sparrow fluffs up its feathers and poses sweetly for me.
I like its feather colors as well as the color of the beak.
Enjoy the weekend, everyone...
This little guy looked sleek and slim one minute and a round ball of fluff the next. Tauhou (aka white or silver eyes) eating banana, mandarin and kiwifruit. I do enjoy hanging out watching the birds eat breakfast.
Link to 55 second movie of the birds eating breakfast on the same morning.
This is a totally different look for an American Bittern. After just going in the swamp after a fish and consuming it, for a split second it fluffed up and shook the water off it’s feathers. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing through my camera.
This little bunch of feathers was born a couple day prior to when I took this photo ( 16th July ) and was mostly staying very close to the mother which already had some almost grown up that must have hatched around late March ?
This very young barred owlet was branching out for the first time away from the nest.

Aufgeplustert wie ein kleiner Feder- / Flauschball saß das Rotkehlchen im Schnee und beobachtet die Umgebung und die fallenden Schneeflocken :)
Last April, I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful male snowy owl. It this shot, it fluffed itself up and shook as the finale of its preening routine.

I am glad you are enjoying these dictionary shots because I love making them even if I have trouble coming up with a word sometimes.
This beautiful material is produced by a Cotinus (var. Grace), also called Smoke tree. Here it is captured in the Californian late afternoon sun.

Little Owl (Athane noctau)
The Little Owl is not a native species, having been introduced to Britain in the 1870s, but it appears to have occupied a vacant niche without having any detrimental impact on other species. Numbers and breeding distribution increased gradually, reaching an estimated breeding population of between 4,000 and 8,500 pairs at the time of Project Barn Owl. The current distribution extends across England, north to the Scottish borders and west into Wales, where it is largely confined to Anglesey and to eastern parts of the country. There have been very few records from Ireland.
Pairs remain on their breeding territories throughout the year, with territorial calling evident during autumn – when young birds are searching for breeding territories – and again during spring. Small cavities are favoured for breeding, these often located within hedgerow trees or the walls of old agricultural buildings. Favoured nesting chambers tend to be located some distance from the cavity entrance and with little daylight reaching them. The male will often perch close to the nest cavity while his mate is incubating her clutch of eggs.
Little Owls often hunt from a perch, taking small mammals and large invertebrates, including earthworms, cockchafers and other beetles. There is evidence to suggest that breeding success is linked to the availability of small mammals, though some pairs evidently do well on other prey; a pair breeding on the island of Skomer, for example, took a large number of Storm Petrels (Courtesy BTO).
