He who bends to himself a joy
Doth the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise ~ Blake
The blur of the wing motion is due to the backlighting from the sun. Three SB-800 flash units were set to 1/32 power to create an approximate flash duration of 1/18000th of a second. Flash sync set to rear curtain.
For Macro Mondays' theme: Wing.
Thank you for visits and likes!!
I look forward to viewing all your images.

Backyard bird
Wikipedia: The black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is a widely distributed, very long-legged wader in the avocet and stilt family Recurvirostridae. Its scientific name, Himantopus himantopus, is sometimes used to generalize a single, almost cosmopolitan species. Alternatively, it is restricted to the form that is widespread in Europe, Asia and Africa, which equals the nominate group of H. himantopus sensu lato. Meanwhile, the black-necked (H. mexicanus) and white-backed stilts (H. melanurus) both inhabit the Americas; the pied stilt (H. leucocephalus) ranges from Australia and New Zealand. Today, most sources accept between one and four actual species.

"One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird is a familiar sight atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Glossy-black males have scarlet-and-yellow shoulder patches they can puff up or hide depending on how confident they feel. Females are a subdued, streaky brown, almost like a large, dark sparrow. Their early and tumbling song are happy indications of the return of spring."
Hello All,
Another image of the Horned Lark (Eremophila alpestris) which I spotted last week. I was surprised to see the pinkish tones in their feathers, very pretty birds!
The snow is slowly melting and the large trees are just beginning to bud! Spring is on the way! It is -5 C at the moment.
Have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for your comments and views, I appreciate them!

I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me
I played pretend between the trees
And fed my house guests bark and leaves
And laughed in my pretty bed of green
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing
I had a dream
Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park
I asked God who I'm supposed to be
The stars smiled down on me
God answered in silent reverie
I said a prayer and fell asleep
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree
I had a dream
Now I'm old and feeling gray
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave
I lived it full and I lived it well
There's many tales I lived to tell
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing
I had a dream
I was a little girl
Alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me
BlackSoul Poses ~Silent Night - is exclusive for the GOTHCORE Event December 23th until January 12th, 2025
A wing from the wreckage of the RAF Canberra jet which crashed on t-Sagairt Mor in 1956. Lots of pieces are strewn all over the mountaintop and this trip sees finding more of them before making the final ascent to Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach.
Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach (pronounced Carn a-Corry voddoyich - or something like) stands at 1118 meters (3667 feet) and completes my circuit of the five Munro's of White Mounth. It's taken me 3 years and 4 separate climbs to complete this circuit, starting with my first ever Munro Lochnagar in 2016, but I'm there at last!!
I don't really consider myself a birder, but being a nature photographer in Florida you end up photographing a lot of birds. The spring migration is going on now and Fort Desoto is one of the best places to witness it. I count lifers when I get a recognizable pic of the species and I got 3 yesterday including the first 2 here. All of these were photographed in the same sea grape bush.
1)Blue-winged Warbler (lifer)
These three images were all taken at the Imperial War Museum (IWM) at Duxford at their summer air show. It was a great day out, very warm to say the least but the flying display left me in awe. This image shows the Wing Walking display team which would scare the hell out of me but you can try it yourself if you are brave enough.

+====================≠
One of a clan busy with the business of building a communal nest. Not only do you have to collect the nest, but sit in it to be sure is going to be the right size inside.
I could watch a bird eating a dragonfly. It left the wing of the dragonfly behind.

A Wall butterfly settled on the coast path between Filey and Scarborough! Happy Wing Wednesday everyone!
The Wall (Lasiommata megera) is named after its habit of basking on walls, rocks, and stony places. The patterned light brown undersides provide good camouflage against a stony or sandy surface.
The Wall favours short, open grassland, where turf is broken or stony. It is also found on dunes and other coastal habitats, as well as disused quarries, derelict land, farm tracks, railway embankments and cuttings, gardens and field edges. It is on the wing in two or three broods, between the middle of April and the end of October. It is widespread in England, Wales and Ireland, but increasingly scarce inland.
The caterpillars use various grasses, including Tor-grass (Brachypodium pinnatum), False Brome (B. sylvaticum), Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), bents (Agrostis spp.) Wavy Hair-grass (Deschampsia flexuosa) and Yorkshire-fog (Holcus lanatus).

The book is dedicated to bird photography and the local birds around Dublin parks and waterways..

This photo is taken in al-Wathba reserve in Abu Dhabi.
The bird seen in the photo is called Black-Winged Stilt, it is a kind of birds that has a long red legs that allow it to wade into deeper water, where it may be seen snatching insects that hover over the water’s surface, dipping its head below the water to catch small fish, or pulling small worms from the mud.
You can see how it is slowing walking in calm water searching for it food.
Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Aug 24, 2021.
Worked the hedge for food but didn't come down to the water.
Vermivora cyanoptera
Blue-winged Warblers have expanded northward as landscapes changed to shrubbier habitats. This northward expansion increased contact and hybridization with Golden-winged Warblers. This hybridization and competition contributes to Golden-winged population declines.

Often seen in rural pastures and even parks in my local area, a neighbours two story house also has them frequenting their roof, no doubt nesting somewhere! Noisy birds, especially at night! More information can be found here: www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/spur-winged-plover
