Need to work on the neck position to keep them coordinated. Still not a bad attempt :) At the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge

I appreciate every comment very much, thank you for watching!
This pair of coots was cute, as they both seemed to look at the same things at the same time. I have another shot of them both looking at me, but liked this one better because it so well shows those red eyes. At Beaverton Creek wetlands.
Strange plant life in Van Dusen Botanical Gardens....
After processing the image and flipping it vertically, I could see faces and they looked like they were under water.

A lighthouse keeper on Iceland’s Westman Islands has been banding puffin chicks for more than 60 years. The islands are home to the largest puffin colony in the world, and the keeper, Oskar Sigurdsson, earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for his prolific banding: more than 90,000 birds in that time, including more than 55,000 puffins.
Half of North America’s Atlantic Puffins breed in one location: Witless Bay, Newfoundland, Canada.

A group of American White Pelicans flying in unison over the Snake River. They still had their breeding horns. The “horn” on the upper bill of an adult American White Pelican is a fibrous growth known as the nuptial tubercle. This odd growth develops in both sexes during the breeding season and is thought to contribute to its mating displays and perhaps signal breeding fitness. An alternative title for this photograph is Horny Flyers. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA, April 2025

The Black Skimmers are in town and I thought I would get to see them yesterday, but I got hung up in Friday afternoon traffic. So, this is actually from 2016, from my insane Skimmer afternoon.
This was taken last November in Florida as the sun was going down. Black Skimmers move so fast and are fascinating to watch as they skim the water in search of fish. That all seems far too energetic for the watching American White Pelicans.
"The strange, uneven bill of the skimmer has a purpose: the bird flies low, with the long lower mandible plowing the water, snapping the bill shut when it contacts a fish." Audubon
As always thank you for stopping by to look at my images. I really appreciate any comments and faves. Have a great day my Flickr friends 😊
There is safety in numbers. I like how these female Impala all bend down to drink at the same time and how their legs cross over each other.
SNEG and a GYL showed up in the fireground while I waited for the rails (sora and Virginia rail) to show up. Focus was on the SNEG. See reflections of reflections of the reeds on its face.
Sometimes siblings do get along well. These two Mergansers were well synchronized in their preening routine.
Perfect day out with the camera. I find buffleheads so hard to capture and to get them in flight... I was so happy!
