Going through the archives this morning ... never can seem to keep up. Came across this image of a marbled godwit in the shallow waters just off the shore of a small lake. It had been foraging and drinking water, then all of a sudden fluffed itself displaying its beautiful feathers. Marbled godwit have such a pretty bill ... long, slender, slightly curved, and multi-colored ... pink with a black tip. Hope that you like it.

Valentino the Kookaburra was looking after Ernie, today again. So, he sat on the neighbours roof and followed his grandson's every move around our garden.
A lovely male kingfisher in beautiful condition perched patiently watching out for his next meal. I just loved the way the wind picked up slightly from behind him to fluff up his beautiful orange feathers.

Senecio Vulgaris or Common Groundse (wiki)
I posted the same plant a couple of days ago. There were no fluffy stuff, just flowers (buds?) then. Yesterday I saw some fluffs like dandelion seeds. Still not sure what sort of weeds.
My kind friend, PokemonaDeChroma, suggested that's "pollen bag". I thought "pollen bag" was a flower name and searched for the images.... not really flowers but some yellow handbags came out. I thought, Oh my, they're not my tastes. I am a bit too old for yellows 😂
Last one was macro. This one is not. 250mm zoom lens. I went out for birds... then only ended up seeing a funny cuckoo baby.
Seeds of butterfly weed, Asclepias tuberosa, photographed in situ. This orange-flowered milkweed is not invasive here. It also isn't toxic enough to protect monarch caterpillars from their prey. Monarch butterflies will stop for nectar on the flower but will not lay eggs, given a better alternative.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

Love how the late evening sun spotlights the white layer of fluff on the slough and also floating in the air. Just click the image to see it.
"Poplar trees produce their seeds in catkins, which hang unpollinated on the trees in early spring. Once they are pollinated, green seed capsules form, and when they break open the seeds are released, each carried by a tiny parachute of fluff. This is what you see stuck in the tree, floating through the air, or lying on the ground.
Sometimes the fluff accumulates on the ground so thickly that it looks like snow! [...]." The Furry Gnome
Wishing you a wonderful new week from Bluebird Estates.
People may say seagulls are vermin and destructive, but that is hypocrisy. People excuse themselves for the trees they felled, the water they waste, and the habitat they stole from animals, then complain when a seagull steals their burger. Seagulls are no less of a nuisance than we are. Seagulls are simply strong, adaptable creatures that are sharing their homes with us.

This is something you would never imagine from the yellow and white flowers of the Sieversia pentapetala.

NS I78 enters Suffolk VA with a very long train of intermodal heading to portlock yard with two BNSF gevos and a UP gevo trailing. Goodness the foreign power has been awesome recently, you would think we were in Iowa lol. This train did put a smile on my face. i love my NS but to see a train with no black and white was a nice change of paces. I did plan on catching this in Downtown Suffolk but ended up checking google maps and wanted to go for a shot. Half way to the spot, i realized that i would be shotting completed backlit. It was to late for me to turn back so i had to make it work. I end up walking down a little on the lit side and ended shotting next to a farmers cotton felid and sitting on a stick of wood to get some height. I ended up puling this off and I'm super happy with it. It may still just be a wedge shot but I'm still pleased with the results
