Soaring/Glider-flying
View allAll Photos Tagged soar,
I noticed that quite a few snowy and great egrets were flying from the pond where they had been fishing to a nearby tree to perch. I took the opportunity to capture this and several other flight shots.
This palm tree has totally rejuvenated itself, we all thought it might be dead after the freaky winter freeze storm that hit our area earlier this year.

This is one of my favourite photos I've taken this year. There are many brilliant wildlife pictures on Flickr and in terms of image quality this does not compete: it was taken in lowlight well after sunset and was subject to a fairly severe crop. However, it was the first time I'd seen an owl in the wild and I managed to track it over several fields before grabbing this hand held shot. To me, this is a big part of the enjoyment of photography. Finding something new and of interest and capturing it to the best of one's ability. The owl may have been soaring but my heart was too!

A westbound Canadian National freight crosses the Fraser River over Cisco Bridge at Cisco, British Columbia, on September 27, 2001. Powering the train is the interesting consist of EMD SD50F No. 5450 leading a trio of former CN SD40s now owned by Alstom, but still lettered GEC Alsthom Transport, and rebuilt into SD40-3s. CN’s Cisco Bridge is 247 meters (810 feet) long and 67 meters (220 feet) high, and also crosses over the parallel Canadian Pacific main line.

A particular characteristic of many vultures is a bald head, devoid of normal feathers. Although it has been historically believed to help keep the head clean when feeding, the bare skin may play an important role in thermoregulation.
Vultures have been observed to hunch their bodies and tuck in their heads in the cold, and open their wings and stretch their necks in the heat. #HSS #sundaysliders #sliderssunday
The beautiful frigate bird is often seen flying high in the skys. He gets his food from other birds such as gulls and also will feed on small fish that are near the top of the water. They never actually land on the water. Fascinating birds to see and wonderful to photograph especially during the courting season when the male's pouch inflates and becomes a vibrant red color.. Very handsome indeed.
Wishing you all a beautiful and blessed evening !!!!

I'm so drawn to birds in flight. I think that is because they are symbolic for me of freedom and spiritual ascension.
I've used the central part of Nesster's TTV to enhance the light. Many thanks Nesster!

Back to one of the countless waterfalls in Iceland, the mighty Skogafoss. As I mentioned in the caption of Where Rainbows End, the crowds of tourists forced me to zoom into the scene and shoot more intimate compositions. And as luck would have it, at the exact moment I pressed the shutter to take a picture of this abstract-looking composition of falling water, a bird flew through the scene and I happened to catch it right in the third of the frame. So unlike the image At World's End which I took in the Westfjords where we really waited until a bird was in the frame, this image was pure luck, and since I couldn’t get any of the classic compositions with the river in the foreground because of all the people, I was really happy when I noticed the bird on the back display of my camera. I hope you like it too!
This one surprised me, flew overhead at a nearby lake. Turned around at the perfect moment, focus locked, and boom. One of my favorites ever.

I was extremly happy to spot this Bald Eagle soaring above in the sky. Even though far away this majestic bird made my day.
