A juvenile Roseate Spoonbill wetting her bill in the reflecting marsh at sunrise. She just fluffed up her feathers creating the soft look.
Birds puff up their feathers to trap heat next to their body, or to dry out after a bath. They also fluff up their feathers when they are stressed or sick. Or while they are preening. And males may fluff up a bit when they are doing their courtship dancing...This one was seen Early morning on a TV Aerial ..
For weeks now, I've had the wonderful opportunity to see and photograph a Bald Eagle pair as they prepare for breeding season. I've happily seen many different kinds of looks from them and here's another one. He was preening and just decided to shake everything out. He even had a great expression. I hope you're not getting sick of these eagle shots but I can't help myself, LOL. It's like an addiction.

What a treat to watch a couple of House Finches dry off their feathers in the Lilac tree in our backyard. It had rained in the morning. But then the afternoon was sunny and warm enough to sit on the deck. The female finch was in the bush too. They both snacked on the new buds on my Burning Bush. I wasn’t worried. There are tons of buds to share with them. They were quite relaxed and stayed for a long time before moving on. I am eager for the next visitors to arrive. Possibly the Oriole again this spring? Happy Wing Wednesday!
8 of a family of 9 Mallard ducklings. Their mum was standing on the bank above them.

Another visit to the Wetlands with long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef.
We had sprinkling rain and overcast conditions which was ideal for light - there were a couple of Welcome Swallows that perched nicely and allowed us to get a few close up portraits - hope you like this one!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - most appreciated!
Wishing you a wonderful day and week ahead!

Green Herons are often seen along the trails at Circle B Bar Reserve which is located near Lakeland, Florida. The Green Heron (Butorides striatus) measures 16-22 inches (40-55 cm) from beak-tip to tail-tip. As I prepared for this shot, I had not noticed that its chest feathers were fluffed out and I was pleasantly surprised to see it later.
