It took a lot of time to train them to march in step.

You don’t achieve greatness on your one, there is always someone there to lend a helping hand !!

Cows and their babies.

I do believe in an everyday sort of magic -- the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone.

A couple of duck take off at the sound of my 'Canon' - in sync on their timing and stroke!

Happy Crazy Tuesday!

We went to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Smyrna, DE. for first light. One of the first birds we came across were the Roseate Spoonbill's feeding in the mudflats at low tide. The sunrise light just lit them up. Simply a beautiful sight.

The rookery at Avery Island, LA is known as "Bird City" and was created as a bird colony in the 1890's.

There are platforms built over the water (above the alligators) and lined with the locally grown bamboo.

This forms the base for the nests where the Egrets will breed and raise their little ones....

Each Spring...it becomes home to tens of thousands of birds, with a particular emphasis on Great White Egrets.

It's amazing to watch them nest-building, breeding, preening, & tending to their young. Such a sight to see !

Thanks for taking a look.

Have a great Saturday and beginning to our Memorial Day Weekend. It'll be a special one for sure..........

I really like the way pelicans glide along right above the top of water.

Some lucky timing as a trio of male Goosanders came into land at Hogganfield Loch, Glasgow... a downpour had just stopped.. not the sharpest but hey ho!

I caught these mallards streaking by in the Corte Madera Marsh. Even at 1/800 second, the background blurred, as I panned along with the fast moving ducks. They came along just at the right time because this week's topic for the Flickr Lounge is Motion.

These guys have GOT to practice this, maybe to dazzle the tourists. Once more at the estuary.

Finally, some ducklings were born on the river...and I spied them. I've been waiting for months...and was pleasantly surprised, needless to say.
