Now, two and a half years old.

He was a cute baby, see below.

I love the detailed green on the Grater Scaup that came in close to shore on a nice morning

Do you know what Emu The Handsome, Winnie The Poo, John The Baptist and Alfred the Great have in common? They all have the same middle name. Are you not emused?

From the comments: Attila the Hun, Eric the Wise, Eric the Wise Cracker, Dragon the Handsome, Jack the Knife, William the Conqueror, Vlad the Impaler, Dennis the Menace. Seems "THE" is a very common middle name.

"I have bigger muscles than you :P" Does anybody have any name ideas for this colt?

Nothing prettier than a Tom Turkey strutting his stuff surrounded with greenery and wild flowers. Females were in the area while this male showed them some great moves.

You have to be in the right spot, and pelicans will swim by or jump on a stone without a care in the world. Unfortunately all the birds were close to each other, so one can see a cormorant wing, and parts of other pelicans.

He is handsome and he is the alpha male of the boer goats at a local park, the one who rules the roost. This goat is quite a character but very friendly too and he LOVES visitors.

happy Sunday, HSS.

Hornberg Castle or Burg Hornberg is a partially ruined castle located on a steep outcrop above the Neckar valley above the village Neckarzimmern, between Bad Wimpfen and Mosbach. It is the largest and oldest of the castles in the valley.[The original castle was built in the 11th century. It is notable as the stronghold of Götz von Berlichingen, who bought it in 1517 and died there in 1562. The castle was bought by Reinhard of Gemmingen in 1612 and remains in possession of the Gemmingen-Hornberg family today. It was uninhabited from 1738 and left to decay until 1825, when it was partially restored. It has housed a museum since 1968.

Right at the entrance to the Woodbridge Ecological Reserve South Unit, we spotted this beautiful hawk on a small pole. When we drove in he got frightened and flew off. Yet he flew right onto another pole and we were able to get some pretty good close ups. It’s always fun to get close ups, especially in nature. We saw so many hawks and other birds at Woodbridge it was a feast for the eyes.

Baie Chesapeake. Un Lifer.

Pendant que j'attendais sur le rivage de la majestueuse Baie de Chesapeake que la glace pousse les canards à s'envoler j'ai empiété sur le territoire de ce beau mâle Tohi à flancs roux qui est venu me le laissé savoir. J'ai eu la chance aussi d'observer sa compagne mais sans obtenir d'image car elle était constamment dans les enchevêtrements d'arbustes et de branches.

Chesapeake Bay. A Lifer.

While I waited on the shore of the majestic Chesapeake Bay for the ice to push the duck to fly I have encroached on the territory of this handsome Eastern Towhee male who came to let me know I was trespassing. I was also lucky to observe his female but without obtaining an image because she was constantly in the entanglements of trees and branches.

This is another Merlin (Prairie) that I saw that morning. He was busy eating his breakfast and keeping a watchful eye for other raptors around.
