A pair of loons care for their hatchling
They received an Honarable mention in the 2016 Plymouth MN photo contest.
When they come for Pecans they fill their mouth with more than one and then fly away to eat in private:-)
Peafowl is a common name for three species of birds in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the family Phasianidae, the pheasants and their allies. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl as peahens. Male peafowl are known for their piercing calls and their extravagant plumage, which is especially prominent in the Asiatic species, which have an eye-spotted 'tail' or 'train' of covert feathers, which they display as part of a courtship ritual.
Despite the length and size of the covert feathers, the peacock is still capable of flight. The peafowl lives mainly on the ground in open forests or on cultivable lands where it forages for berries and grains, and also preys on snakes, lizards and small rodents. It makes loud calls, which makes it easier to detect, and are often used to indicate the presence of a predator in the forest areas. It forages on the ground in small groups and usually escapes on foot through undergrowth and avoids flying, though it flies into tall trees to roost. 12769
Captured in my local park a few days after the cygnets hatched. This is a new pen for the cob, as he lost his previous lifetime mate at the beginning of the year. This was such a welcome sight as I had been following the previous pairing for many years and looked forward to their little clutch of cygnets each year.
Swans on the river Korana. Next to the river Korana is one of the most beautiful promenades in the whole city Karlovac where people walking, watching and feed swans. River Korana become a great place for swans. One large flock whole year stay on the river.
An adult burrowing owl poses as the kids play beneath. Is it pride or a brief respite from the chaos?

There weren't many birds seen in the Everglades, nor in Arthur R Marshall Loxahatchee NWR, but Paul and I found a small tree near a water feature with a warbler flitting amid the thick foliage at Loxahatchee.
I took several pictures and so did Paul. I kept saying Northern Parula; he kept saying Yellow-throated Warbler. Those two birds look nothing alike. We didn't compare pictures at that time to see who was right. Well, BOTH of those warblers were in the tree, as well as this beauty (in the picture), a Prairie Warbler :-))
