Hope everyone is having a wonderful Fly Day! :)

Looks like it's going to be a great weekend to turn off the

news, and head outside with the camera... :]

 

HFDF! :)

 

Sightings of Sharp-tailed Grouse are pretty common in Custer State Park. Good photo ops are less common because they can be a little skittish and spend much of their time in tall, dense prairie grasses.

 

So, I was happy to find this bird in the open and quite tolerant of my presence.

  

Despite their tendency to non-stop motion, this little guy hung around just long enough for a profile shot. A sharp-tailed sandpiper (calidris acuminata) photographed at the edge of marshland in Kumana National Park, Sri Lanka. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.

445) Sharp Tailed Sandpiper

Sharp Tailed Sandpiper, Calidris acuminate, Kedidi Ekor Tajam

This species breeds in the boggy tundra of northeast Asia and is strongly migratory, wintering in South East Asia and Australasia. Rarely seen in Peninsular Malaysia, usually stop for a few days to refuel before continuing journey to Down Under. Consider vagrant in Peninsular Malaysia.

 

Offensive...? if this offends anyone please let me know....I wasn't sure to share or not....it's nature....trying to stay on the light side...."put your left leg in....put right left leg out"...no????

Handle with care!

 

Probably worth pointing out that this is a scuba diver’s tool, *not* a weapon: its tip is squared and blunt, useful for prying; the line cutter on the bottom and the sharp edges are a lifesaving defense against entanglements.

Squirrel chased the hawk before it became a meal.

This morning in Central Washington

Low light, hand held

They are putting on extension growth and flowering - and even fruiting - a bit early

Sharp tailed sandpiper in the early morning light in the Coorong National park South Australia.

Saw this bird fly in so fast it was unreal, It perched on the tree for a few seconds and then left. I'm thinking it's a Sharpie, any thoughts ? Thanks for looking.

I enjoyed watching and photographing this bird yesterday morning. As I have done several times with what I believe is the same bird since back in early November I walked to within 50 feet and spent about half hour near this bird. He/she even left for about 5 minutes to chase after a sparrow and returned to the same brush pile. Birds were hiding in the brush pile. For those who don't know this hawk eats other birds to survive. Even after he/she left, and while I was spending time photographing a hummingbird, juncos, goldfinches, and a woodpecker this bird reappeared at least 3 times. They move so fast this there can be hard to see so he/she may have passed by more than that. This all happened over a period of about 2 hours. After that, because I was not properly dressed for the cold weather I went indoors to thaw out. IMG_8841

 

I appreciate all of the views, kind comments, awards, and faves. Thank you.

Bearded Tits (male and female) develop their full plumage to coincide with their pair bonding / display behaviour - which itself coincides with a change to a more reed seed based diet.

 

This includes a pink chest blush on the male - which isn't so obvious during the rest of the year.
