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!

This pair of Northern Shovelers were seen at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Florida.

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.

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.
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 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.

A pair of Northern Gannets at their nest.
The male on the left had just returned and the female started to shake her head from side to side as if saying "Where have you been for all this time?"
The male then started to dart forward excitedly towards the female, beak agape,but never got too close.!
A few days later the female laid her first egg in the nest.
The head shaking is behaviour I have seen before but I have never managed to capture it on camera!.
Taken at RSPB Bempton.

Blue-gray gnatcatchers are, without a doubt, one of the most special and entertaining birds the US has to offer. With a pretty sky-blue back contrasting with a paler shade of blue, along with white and black, they boast what I think is one of the more underrated color combinations when it comes to Neotropical migrants, and I’m sure they know it because they sure like to flip those tails around (kidding, that’s a foraging technique). That isn’t the only thing about them that’s underrated; males are pretty great songsters too, emitting an intricate series of what is both their own little babbles and little phrases of other species songs. I even found yesterday that they are able to mimic new vocalizations on the spot. Unfortunately, these guys have the luck of returning earlier than the warblers, and they only get two weeks of fame before what many people consider the real show falls upon our forests. That’s okay, though- they get right to pairing up and nest-building and have fledged young by the end of June, so I think they couldn’t care less about how much attention we pay to them.
Courting Robins who I'm delighted to say look like they are going to nest in my garden, fingers crossed.
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!" :)
