Great White Egret, Fox River at De Pere, Wisconsin

Capture from a homemade floating blind.

Unexpected wind on the river early cut my time short this morning.

Winter rose at Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens from winter.

Looks pretty good large.... But then I would say that :D

With the usual stern expression of raptors on its face you might be forgiven to think that someone ruffled this black kite's feathers, but it was actually just a gust of wind that ruined its formerly immaculate appearance. ;o)

Snowy egrets can be pretty territorial. This guy was fed up with the other egrets in Pond 7, chasing them off with a squawk and a show of his crown of feathers.

It's rather late here, so I'll have to call it a night, and catch up with you all tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great day/night, wherever you are!! :-)

On top of the nest box over the pond while the hen he is paired with tends the nest inside.

The robins took issue with the hawk's presence and were harassing it mercilessly here.

White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae) juvenile

I was able to make a quick visit to the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands and was thrilled to see a lot of juvenile birds around. This Heron was quite amusing to watch as it was trying to imitate Mum feeding.

Ruffled Bird Feathers not sure which bird but remind me of pheasant, found in North Carolina.

Goose seen at Lake Erie Metro Park in Michigan.

Le cheval ébouriffé

A little breeze at just the right moment ruffled the normally perfect feathers of this Silver Gull.

Happy Feathery Friday!

I think women have long been defined by their roles as procreators and wives, and we're expected to serve, take care of, say 'Yes,' and not ruffle any feathers. Women, in particular, are sometimes not allowed to consider who they are outside of the roles that they play.
