Our backyard Cardinals have started the process already...
"What Happens When a Cardinal Molts?
Cardinals, like all other birds, molt. When a bird molts, it loses a few feathers at a time. When new feathers grow in their place, the bird loses a few more. A cardinal molts at least once a year, usually in late summer or early fall.
A cardinal needs some of its feathers for flying. When the bird molts, it sheds only a few flying feathers at a time. That way, the cardinal can keep on flying even while it is molting.
A cardinal must work hard to keep its feathers in good shape. It uses its beak to preen, or clean, each feather. A cardinal must also take baths. First, the bird dips its head into a puddle or a birdbath. Then it beats its wings to spread the water all over its body." - Howstuffworks
This picture is one of my favorites - maybe not my best - but a day of solitude, breaking trail on snowshoes, with the dogs off leash. We didn't run into a soul. Heaven.
The Texas State Aquarium also takes in birds that have been injured. Most are released after rehabilitation, but a few remain as part of the exhibits and educational facilities.

"Cardinal Waves Goodbye' by Patti Deters. A red Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) raises a wing as he perches on a slender tree branch. With him facing the edge of the frame, it looks like he is waving goodbye - and about to fly away. This adult male cardinal, easily identifiable by its red feathers and black mask around the beak, is a common yet charismatic songbird found across North and Central America - this particular bird was photographed in the Rio Grande River Valley at Laguna Seca Ranch in southern Texas, USA. Thank you for viewing this picture.

This is the largest number of red throat feathers I've ever seen on a juvenile RT hummingbird - this little guy is well on his way to impressing the lady-hummies next summer. Andover, NJ

This Green-winged Macaw is one of the most popular parrots at Ocean Park Hong Kong. While he has got very attractive stripes of green and blue on the back of his wings, I find his head pretty cool, particularly with the fluffy feathers and the beautiful, yet a little worn out, beak :-)
Red - Bird - Northern Cardinal: This male Cardinal and his mate were visiting the feeders in my backyard today. Usually they are much too shy to get a close up picture. The male didn't seem to mind me being there today.

Have you ever seen one of these before? I never did until the day I went to the Brevard Zoo. This is a Scarlet Ibis, and it's absolutely gorgeous!
White Ibises abound in Central Florida. They are a common sight in neighborhoods, where you can often see an entire flock of them on someone's lawn, eating bugs out of the lawn. (Greatly appreciated in the land of insects!) Florida's temperate climate most of the year makes the insect population a real problem, so we appreciate a little help now and then. I have never seen Scarlet Ibises out and about, though, and that is because they are no longer a native bird in Florida, although they might have been at one time. You will find them in S. America and the Caribbean.
I read that the eggs of Scarlet Ibises were introduced to the nests of White Ibises, and they quickly hybridized, producing "Pink Ibises"! From the pics I've seen, these look more like that than the completely brilliant birds seen in other countries.
No matter where they are found, these birds are a delight to see!
Back to the Goodwood archives, I found several photographs of this very glamorous lady. I have a few shots showing her complete ensemble and will post them shortly.
Hair accessories are functional or ornamental objects wrapped, tied, twisted, inserted, or otherwise attached to the hair. Throughout history, types of ornamentation and the materials from which they were made indicated religious significance, social class, age group, and level of fashion awareness. Infinitely varied in shapes, sizes, and materials, examples of hair accessories include: hair rings or bands, ribbons and bows, hairpins, hair combs, barrettes, beads, thread or string, hair spikes and sticks, and other affixed miscellaneous objects (shells, jewels, coins, flowers, feathers) perceived to have aesthetic or social and cultural value. Hair accessories have been worn by people of all ages and by all genders.
"Vermilion Flycatcher Perch" by Patti Deters. This striking crimson-colored songbird is a Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus obscurus) and was seen at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge during the month of April. Although common in parts of the USA, these little birds are mostly migratory so I was very excited to spot his bright red feathers among the tree branches. The dark feathers on the face crate a mask giving this passerine a mysterious look. Flitting and flying in the trees, he perched on this tree branch for a very short time - just enough to strike a cute pose! This bird loves to catch insects, especially flies - hence the name "Flycatcher". GPS: 4672 33°46'12.612- N 106°53'57.534- W.

i love progression. isn't it wonderful how a few words can make such a difference..; i love you, well done, i miss you, you're doing great or that's fantastic.. it's just a massive lift, praise is underrated, i ought to do it more.
i love positivity, i wish i was an optimist but i think i'm a realist, and i really do believe you can do anything you put your mind to, so i always strive to better myself, and i ought to be more comfortable at what i can already do.. but where's the fun in that?
i feel like i've shed a new skin, and i'm dipping my toes into slightly bigger boots and for once i don't feel daunted. i don't feel worried or pressured...infact, these boots look and feel pretty darned good.

"Vermilion Flycatcher - Portrait Pose" by Patti Deters. This vibrant-colored songbird is a Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus obscurus) and was found at found at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge during late spring. Although common in parts of the USA, these little birds are mostly migratory so I was very excited to spot his bright red feathers among the tree branches. The dark feathers on the face crate a mask giving this passerine a mysterious look. Flitting and flying in the trees, he perched on this tree branch for a very short time - just enough to strike a cute pose! This bird loves to catch insects, especially flies - hence the name "Flycatcher". They fall into the tyrant flycatcher family found throughout South America and southern North America and are a striking exception among the generally drab Tyrannidae because of the vermilion-red feathers. The males have bright red crowns, chests, and underparts, with brownish wings and tails. GPS: 4672 33°46'12.612- N 106°53'57.534- W.

Tag game started by Dolldiva67.
Rules: This game is simple - show us your favorite backdrop, which could be your favorite 'spot' for taking photos, if you have one, and say why it works for you!
I was tagged by Dolldiva67, jade ~, and MARVEL_DOLLS. Thank you all very much! :-)
It should come as no surprise that this is my favorite backdrop: a scarf thrown over a chair. When I started to photograph dolls I tried different improvised backgrounds, but found nothing I liked enough to continue to work with. White backgrounds are boring to me and I didn't own a large enough sheet of white paper anyway.
While shopping I stumbled onto this scarf. It's a brand scarf and it was on sale and I still hadn't paid that much for a scarf before. For me it worked. It's large enough that I can use different parts for (slightly) different backgrounds, even though I use my favorite part most often. It's very easy to set up (meaning: throw over the chair) and it doesn't take much room to store. So perfect for lazy me. ;-)
I still try other backgrounds, because red on red doesn't work so well for example. Pink hair stands out more against red than against white though.
By now I like to think of this scarf as my "trademark". :-)

Here's one bird few people in the U.S. have seen! This is a Scarlet Ibis. It's cousin, the White Ibis, is a native of Florida, and we see them all over the place, but not so the beautiful red versions.
According to Wikipedia, "The range of the scarlet ibis is very large, and colonies are found throughout vast areas of South America and the Caribbean islands. Native flocks exist in Brazil; Colombia; French Guiana; Guyana; Suriname; and Venezuela, as well as the islands of the Netherlands Antilles, and Trinidad and Tobago."
The red version behaves exactly like the more familiar white ones, and in a way, ibises are similar to chickens in the way they poke around foraging through the grass looking for food. They even cluck like chickens as they do so! If they are startled, they will start honking as they fly, just like geese! Though they might look a little odd and ungainly on land, in the air, the ibis is a beautiful thing to watch as they soar gracefully.
This brilliantly colored bird was a resident of the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida.
