The Streamer-tailed Tyrant is a distinctive resident of Buriti palm groves and seasonally wet grassland from western Bolivia to central Brazil and to northeastern Argentina. Overall these birds appear pale gray with black wings that are highlighted by a patch of cinnamon at the base of the primaries. Aptly named, the Streamer-tailed Tyrant has a long deeply forked tail. Streamer-tailed Tyrants often perch conspicuously on the tops of low trees and bushes and utter a harsh repeated "wurreep" call. They forage by flying low over marshy areas before pouncing to the ground to catch large arthropods.

During courtship, the members of a pair of Streamer-tailed Tyrants perch 10-50 cm apart facing one another, while each bird alternately lowers their head and raises and fans their long tail. The birds then proceed to lower their tail and raise their heads while raising their wings and calling continuously. Source: Birds of the World.

The mist blowing up the valley kept sending up streamers that were lit yellow by the rising sun.

The annual bluebells thing I'm afraid. They're cliché, but a very pretty one when that morning light's pouring through.

Another busy day in littleworld. Even if there are still a few days to go until the new year. The streamers are already being prepared for the party by ironing them. And as always, you can rely on the hard-working little helpers.

Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Pale-bellied Hermit by Adam Rainoff

Pale-bellied Hermit (Phaethornis anthophilus) was photographed mid-flight above a shaded creek in the coastal rainforest of Capurganá, Chocó, Colombia. I framed the bird against the blurred green understory to isolate its slender form and extended tail streamers. Shooting in shutter-priority mode at 1/1500 sec allowed me to freeze the subtle wing posture, while the slight motion blur of surrounding leaves still conveys the gentle swirl of air currents near the water’s edge.

Using an 800 mm f/11 lens set to f/16 gave me the depth of field needed to keep the entire hermit sharply in focus, and dialing ISO 3200 preserved detail under the canopy’s low light without overwhelming noise. A stable handheld stance and careful timing were essential to capture the moment his ghost-white throat caught a stray shaft of light. This approach balances sharp subject rendition with a creamy background—an effect I often pursue when documenting fast, diminutive birds in confined forest environments.

Upward streamer by Christos Doudoulakis

An upward unconnected leader (or upward streamer as it is more commonly termed) is a positively charged channel of ionized air that rises from ground objects (like buildings, towers, trees or even the ground itself) towards a negatively charged downward-moving "stepped leader" from a storm cloud. When an upward leader "connects" with a downward leader, the lightning bolt we see occurs. It is possible to catch (in a photo) one or some of the upward leaders who "didn't make it" to connect with the downward one.

This pattern in the aurora borealis was streaming like those air socks they put in front of stores to attract attention. I would have bought whatever they were selling. Healy, Alaska, USA, November 2021
