Hi there,

 

I recently spotted this pair of dahlias at a local park. What caught my attention were the subtle colour variations within the petals.

 

Thank you for taking the time to view and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!

 

Have a wonderful day and week ahead!

Paare gibt es genug, große und kleine, dicke und dünne, ich habe mich für ein Paar Ohringe entschieden die ich gerne trage, dazu gibt es noch einen Anhänger in der der Größe wie die Ohrringe sind. Liebe Freunde, Danke für Euren Besuch, ein Kommentar und Stern ist auch willkommen.

Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Tag und eine entspannte Woche, liebe Freunde. Seid achtsam und bleibt gesund!

There are enough pairs, big and small, thick and thin, I have chosen a pair of earrings that I like to wear, plus a pendant in the same size as the earrings are. Dear friends, thank you for visiting, a comment and star is also welcome.

I wish you a good day and a relaxing week, dear friends. Be mindful and stay healthy!

Les paires sont suffisantes, grandes et petites, épaisses et fines, j'ai choisi une paire de boucles d'oreilles que j'aime porter, de plus il y a un pendentif de la même taille que les boucles d'oreilles. Chers amis, merci de votre visite, un commentaire et une étoile sont également les bienvenus.

Passez une bonne journée et une semaine de détente, chers amis. Soyez attentifs et restez en bonne santé !

I went to the Sandhill Crane Festival in Fairbanks, Alaska and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting four days of rain but we had two nice afternoons of some sunshine otherwise it would have been disappointing for photograhy! One of the rainy evenings I was thrilled to see hundreds if not more than a thousand cranes arrive to Creamer's Field in Fairbanks. Here I've captured two cranes coming in to one of the fields to eat and rest for a bit on their migration south.

For Looking close.... on Friday!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Happy Sunday!

Taken through the window. Greenfinches have been absent from our garden for many years so it was nice to see this pair enjoying the sunflower seeds I put out.

This image took one hour waiting for this moment. The temperature was high and these butterflies are fast. I got lucky to capture two in one image.

This pair is well practiced in flying in formation. It's hard to see from this photo but they were inches apart and perfectly synchronized in their wing movement. Beautiful to watch.

Mottled Ducks are quite common in Florida. They sometimes breed with Mallards and hybrids form, much to the consternation of my biologist friend who is interested in preserving the Florida line. Here is a mated pair in flight. You can tell the male is in the foreground by his brighter yellow bill. The female's bill is more orange and duller.

 

I just looked up the Latin name and I'm almost jealous. How'd you like to be named "Anas fulvigula"? Not great: "Hey Anas, get a load of this!" Great: "Hey, Fulvigula, get a load of this!" :)

One of which is slightly blemished, but still lovely.

Großer Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) - (eurasion) curlew

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Brachvogel

 

Der Große Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Schnepfenvögel (Scolopacidae). Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden. Die Nominatform ist in Mitteleuropa ein zunehmend seltener Brut- und Sommervogel. Die Rote Liste der Brutvögel Deutschlands von 2015 führt die Art in der Kategorie 1 als vom Aussterben bedroht.[1] Er ist während der Zugzeiten ein regelmäßiger Durchzügler und Rastvogel, der gebietsweise auch überwintert.[2]

 

In Deutschland war der Große Brachvogel im Jahre 1982 Vogel des Jahres.

  

Beschreibung

Der Große Brachvogel ist etwa 50 bis 60 cm lang und wiegt zwischen 600 und 1000 Gramm. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 80 bis 100 cm. Die Vögel sind die größten Watvögel, und sie sind in Europa die häufigsten Vertreter der Brachvögel. Charakteristisches Kennzeichen des Großen Brachvogels ist der lange und stark nach unten gekrümmte Schnabel. Das Weibchen ist etwas größer als das Männchen und hat einen deutlich stärker gebogenen und längeren Schnabel. Ansonsten sehen die Geschlechter gleich aus.

 

Große Brachvögel sind eher unscheinbar gefärbt. Der Kopf, der Hals, die Brust die Körperoberseite sind fahl beigebraun mit dunklen Streifen und Flecken. Die Wangen sind dunkel gestrichelt und kontrastieren dadurch mit dem hellen Kinn- und Kehlfleck. Die Brust ist etwas kräftiger gestreift und wird zum Bauch hin heller. Im Flug wird der weiße Bürzel sichtbar, der mit dem weißen Rücken einen weißen Keil bildet.

  

Eurasian curlew

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_curlew

 

The Eurasian curlew or common curlew (Numenius arquata) is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across temperate Europe and Asia. In Europe, this species is often referred to just as the "curlew", and in Scotland known as the "whaup" in Scots.

 

This is the largest wader in its range, at 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in length, with an 89–106 cm (35–42 in) wingspan and a body weight of 410–1,360 g (0.90–3.00 lb).[2] It is mainly greyish brown, with a white back, greyish-blue legs and a very long curved bill. Males and females look identical, but the bill is longest in the adult female. It is generally not possible to recognize the sex of a single Eurasian curlew, or even several ones, as there is much variation; telling male and female of a mated pair apart is usually possible however.

 

The familiar call is a loud curloo-oo.

 

The only similar species over most of the curlew's range is the whimbrel (N. phaeopus). The whimbrel is smaller and has a shorter bill with a kink rather than a smooth curve. Flying curlews may also resemble bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica) in their winter plumages; however, the latter have a smaller body, a slightly upturned beak, and legs that do not reach far beyond their tail tips. The Eurasian curlew's feet are longer, forming a conspicuous "point".

 

The curlew exists as a migratory species over most of its range, wintering in Africa, southern Europe and south Asia. Occasionally a vagrant individual reaches places far from its normal range, such as Nova Scotia[3] and the Marianas.[4][5] It is present all year in the milder climates of Ireland and the United Kingdom and its adjacent European coasts.
