One of the most fun parts of taking wildlife photography are the surprises that show up. We went out before sunrise to photograph migratory waterfowl and this Painted Bunting was feeding along the shoreline of a shallow flooded field. They are one of the most spectacular birds in Southwest Florida. Here you can see how they freed on the local plant seeds.
After the processing, this song popped up in my head:
'Paint It Black' by The Rolling Stones.
The first to lines are:
""I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black.""
Sweet memories of Schiermonnikoog ;-))
Happy weekend!
The painted stork (Mycteria leucocephala) is a large wader in the stork family. It is found in the wetlands of the plains of tropical Asia south of the Himalayas in the Indian Subcontinent and extending into Southeast Asia. Their distinctive pink tertial feathers of the adults give them their name. They forage in flocks in shallow waters along rivers or lakes. They immerse their half open beaks in water and sweep them from side to side and snap up their prey of small fish that are sensed by touch. As they wade along they also stir the water with their feet to flush hiding fish. They nest colonially in trees, often along with other waterbirds. The only sounds they produce are weak moans or bill clattering at the nest. They are not migratory and only make short distance movements in some parts of their range in response to changes in weather or food availability or for breeding. Like other storks, they are often seen soaring on thermals.
Painted Stork has a heavy yellow beak with a down-curved tip that gives it a resemblance to an ibis. The head of the adult is bare and orange or reddish in colour. The long tertials are tipped in bright pink and at rest they extend over the back and rump. There is a distinctive black breast band with white scaly markings. The band continues into the underwing coverts and the white tips of the black coverts give it the appearance of white stripes running across the underwing lining.
One more of that fabulous place, just because this one was so different being all by itself.

I heard rumors that the painted bunting male had returned to Dix Park in Raleigh, NC so I ventured out to see him. Merlin app first told me he was around and then there he was. Breath taking bird to observe.
The rugged Newfoundland landscape is softened with the ubiquitous yellow seaweed covering the rocks near the water Best viewed large for the detail in those cliffs.

Another unused photo I took for the Macro Monday theme - (Begins With) The First Letter of My Name. (White Paint)
Went way back into the archives for this one.
This is a painted turtle, an image I captured years ago locally here in Central Ontario, Canada.

I don't want summer to end without posting a butterfly. Here is a Painted Lady, and as you can see it was well aware that I was taking its photograph. How lucky we are to be able to observe with our macro lens their tiny lives.
Butterflies have been the inspiration of so many fairy tales and fantastic stories, and there are so many more things that I can say about them, but for now I'm going to stop there :)
Something interesting about this butterfly:

Photography is one of my passions, and nature photography is my favorite.
I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.
I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!
The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!
