This guy really cooperated - kept landing and taking off from the same perch, hitting the water, so was able to set up and get him right when he was coming back to roost!

While visiting San Diego recently, I had an opportunity to stop by one of my favorite locations for views of the San Diego Skyline, Coronado. Had a great meal while waiting for the sun to go down, then set up the camera for a shot of the night sky.

If you get a chance to visit San Diego and Coronado, don’t forget to stop by the Hotel Del Coronado, its an amazing place with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean. And, Ladies, if you are lucky you can sip an umbrella cocktail and watch those Buff Navy Seals perform "BUDS" training on the beach : )

Coronado is a California resort city on a peninsula in San Diego Bay. It’s known for the grand Victorian Hotel del Coronado, which opened in 1888. Across from the hotel, the wide, flat Coronado Beach draws surfers and sunbathers. The Coronado Ferry Landing has shops, restaurants and a small beach. Nearby, Centennial Park offers San Diego skyline views.

Explore Dec 7/ 07 Mute Swans, landing, early morning light. They actually run across the water as they land which differs from most that ski across the water until they stop. Larger is better www.pbase.com/woody/image/89992210/original.jpg IMG_2186

As the sun was setting the field was a sea of Snow Geese. Near Lewes Delaware.

A Great Egret approaches a snag for a landing at Little Creve Coeur Marsh in St Louis, Missouri. I really like this version in black and white. Check out those water droplets coming off of both feet as he opens his claws to grab a perch!

Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

This one more from my backyard, same series .

Osprey landing on a very very short runway

A Ring-billed gull flares just before landing on this lone boulder protruding from Lake Michigan.

The gulls often fight each other for this prime real estate, but it looks like this one has it all to itself.

Fast shutter speeds allow us to see the aerobatics that accomplish the miracle of flight, which the birds take as a routine matter of fact :)
