Yesterday at Cape May Meadows, there were number of paired up American Oystercatchers. At one point, two pairs went into a synchronized flight, 2 x 2, above the beach and shouting their opinions at length.

Here is another set of images from the Bear River Migratory Bird refuge in Utah April 2024. Everyday was a great treasure hunt with treasure to be found everywhere!!!!

Beautiful June sunset. Stopped at Shutes Branch after a Jeep ride. Started to take some photos with the ducks on a log and swimming. Later, at home, I realized that this in this shot the two ducks in the background left were "synchronized swimmers" or flappers.
Looking up in the backyard of our office, I discovered a "sky writer" ...
I went out into the street to see better .... On Black
Trumpeter swans flying in sync through the thick winter fog.

With the Olympics in full swing, you have probably heard of Synchronized Diving! Well, these Black Swans put on a lovely display of Synchronized Swimming as they paddled serenely by...!
A few minutes earlier however, they had put on an amazing display of Synchronized Flying...
Walking back to the car, we heard a strange but loud rhythmic thumping sound. Turning round, we discovered that these two birds were flying in very tight formation, and they were so low that their wing tips were actually slapping the water - loudly!
Unfortunately, they went by so fast that it simply wasn't possible to get a photo, but I've never seen Swans (or any other bird for that matter) flying so very low above the water...!
Their "swim-by" was therefore in sharp contrast to the performance they'd just put on in the air...!
Thanks for taking the time and the trouble to leave a Comment beneath this photo Folks! It\'s always nice to hear from you, and your comments are always very much appreciated...!
After watching the Black Swans glide by in perfect synchronization (Previous photo), these two Greylag Geese put on a pleasing display of teamwork themselves: "Synchronized Eating"...!
Without any apparent communication, they would eat, swallow, step forward and repeat the process again and then again... In fact, they were so busy coordinating their movements that they didn't notice they were edging closer to a couple of Humans...!
Indeed, by this stage I was beginning to think the birds at the Waikanae River estuary were watching too much Olympic Games television...!

A pair of mallards winged their way from the wetlands to a side pond. Better light this morning, allowing some speed in the capture!
