Was very lucky to witness this behavior this morning. How much encouragement does a guy need Lol. Unfortunately he never completed the act he just sat very close to her.

Typically bald eagles have one mate for life. Their lifespan is generally 20-30 years in the wild. This picture shows the different size between male and female, with the female being the larger of the pair.

A pair of Australian black swans, swimming on Swan Lake, which is in Swan Lake Iris Gardens, in the city of Sumter, South Carolina. There are supposed to be eight different species of swans there. We saw most or all of them.
Thanks for looking!
Isn't God a great artist?
So far only these Yellow started to bloom,they must be over 200 of them, more yellows and others will be blooming for a Month.
Bright sunny morning with a bit of frost. Birds were celebrating the first signs of real spring. Greyag geese were fighting & a pair of Coots did what comes naturally.
This pair of Chihuahuas had a fun time at the farm yesterday. The sight of the goats out and about was very stimulating for them! I wish I'd taken note of their names, though. They live nearby, so I'll see them again soon.

...of Red Bellied Woodpeckers. The amount of work and dedication involved in raising just one chick was amazing and such a privilege to observe and shoot.
The perched bird has a piece of fish, the hovering mate is taking a closer look. I saw the bird with the fish take off from the nesting platform with this piece of fish, and fly around with it a while before returning. Interesting behavior to me, that they would carry this around, a behavior I've not observed before. I'm not a seasoned Ornithologist, it may be that individual Osprey are possessive of their catches, even among mated pairs. If anyone has knowledge they could share, I'd be interested!

There are LOADS of these little flies in our Staffordshire garden at the moment. I didn't actually realise that they were the same species until I saw this pair. I'm very pleased to have finally received a replacement for my Yongnuo YN24ex twinlite flash which developed a fault a while back. I used it on this shot with the Tamron 90mm macro lens at 1:1. Shot needed quite a bit of cropping.
I know very little about flies so have no idea as to likely identification.
[Update: Many thanks to Dipterists Forum for informing me that these are Anthomyiidae, probably Delia radicum.]
This picture was taken back in winter 2012, train CN Q11691 heading for Flat Rock yard Michigan. Catching a BCOL leading a train now days I'm sure is quite rare...and catching another BCOL pairing would be priceless!
The Ashy-headed Goose (Chloephaga poliocephala) is a large sheldgoose, which breeds in mountainous areas of southernmost South America and winters on lowlands just north of its breeding range.
The lined nest is built in tall grass, and 4–6 eggs are laid. This terrestrial species favors damp upland forest clearings and feeds by grazing; it rarely swims. The ashy-headed goose is a stocky 50–55 cm (20–22 in) bird with a pale brown back, chestnut neck and black-barred white flanks. The head is grey and paler over the crown. The inside of the legs are black and the outside of the legs are red. Sexes are similar, except that the male may have reduced or no underparts barring. Immature birds are duller and have brown heads. In flight, this species shows black primaries, with the rest of the wing white except for a broad green bar. The male's call is a soft whistle, and the female's is a harsh cackle. (Wikipedia); Patagonia; Argentina

The ACe situation down here in Union Pacific land is somewhat different to up there in BNSF land.
Frankly, there's so many, they're almost crunching under your feet...
It makes a change from wall to wall GE's though. And, if I'm honest, I've developed a bit of a soft spot for the chunky EMD's, with their slightly wheezy and monstrously noisy two-stroke whine and the mad as a bag of badgers K5LLA horns.
Here's a pair now, straddling the Yuma Main Canal. Arizona is just around the corner...
The bit of Yuma AZ that's actually in California. I think... 8 February 2023.

In this image there were actually three of this group of Sandhill Cranes. The one not in the image was dragging behind about ten feet so I cropped it out. They were pretty far away so I really needed to crop it out to bump these two up for the frame.

The eastern great egret (Ardea alba modesta), a white heron in the genus Ardea, is usually considered a subspecies of the great egret (A. alba). In New Zealand it is known as the white heron or by its Māori name kōtuku. Measuring 83–103 cm in length and weighing 0.7–1.2 kg, the eastern great egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Its bill is black in the breeding season and yellow at other times, and its long legs are red or black. The colours of the bare parts of the face change to green during the breeding season. The breeding plumage is also marked by long neck plumes and a green facial area. The eastern great egret can be distinguished from other white egrets and herons in Asia and Australia by its very long neck, one and a half times as long as its own body. The eastern great egret has a wide distribution throughout Asia and Oceania, with breeding populations in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Nepal, India, Indochina, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Russia (north-eastern), Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The egret breeds across Australia but only rarely in the southwest of the continent or dry interior. The largest colonies within Australia are in the Top End and Channel Country, which can number several thousand pairs. Colonies in the southeast of Australia can number several hundred pairs. The bird is an uncommon autumn and winter visitor to Tasmania. The diet includes vertebrates such as fish, frogs, small reptiles, small birds and rodents, and invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, and molluscs. The eastern great egret hunts by wading or standing still in shallow water and spearing prey with its bill. The eastern great egret often breeds in colonies with other herons, egrets, cormorants, spoonbills and ibises. One brood is raised a year, although the breeding season varies within Australia. In the north of the country it is in March to May, in southern and central Queensland December and January, and October to December in the south. Located atop trees at a height of 20 m or more, the nest is a flat wide platform of dry branches and sticks with a shallow basin for eggs and young. The clutch consists of anywhere from two to six pale blue-green eggs, with three or four being the usual number. They are oval in shape and measure 52 x 36 mm. The subspecies is protected in Australia. 41804
