As I mentioned in my previous post, the trio of crested caracaras that sat on the post took off in front of me one by one. I watched the first one with mouth agape, tried to get the second one as it flew off but was tardy, and by the time the third one started to fly I already had my camera and lens in position and managed to snap off a good burst of images. You can really see the cool patterns of light and dark colors in its wings along with the dark crest that gives them their name. We already have a return trip to Texas planned for next November where we will be based a little farther south than this past year. Looking forward to finding these guys again!
Have a Blessed Sunday!

I was in the garden and tried to take photos of the cats when a dove took off from a tree in a neighbouring garden, All I managed was a quick snapshot but I like the way the sunshine illuminates the wings. In the foreground are the young spruce cones on a tree in my own garden.
“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”

We lost over 7000 ducks last year from avian flu so I am very excited to see the survivors return this fall!
A forgotten British-era bungalow perched on Penang Hill emerges from the mist, surrounded by lush jungle. This photo, created by merging several different shots, captures the essence of the scene. Just as luck would have it, an eagle soared into the frame, turning this into my ‘lucky shot’—a fleeting moment where history and nature converged.
listen: Wings
I wish I had wings
Take me away
From all that I see
And all the trouble I've made
I wish I could fly
High above everything
Oh, I
I wish I had wings
I'd dance with the angels
Cut through the clouds
Never look back
Never come back down
Drunk on the wind
And the high it brings
Free once again, it never ends
Oh, I wish I had wings .............
The wings of a butterfly are covered in a multitude of miniature scales –thousands of them. And those colors you see when a butterfly flits across your yard are the reflection of various colors through the scales. The wings themselves are made up of a protein called chitin, which is the same protein that forms an insect’s exoskeleton. And much like an exoskeleton, chitin is transparent.

I'm really enjoying taking shots of terns coming from the water. Their wings are so beautiful.

The Canada Goose is a species a lot of people take for granted, but they actually have lots of interesting traits that are appealing. They help each other when flying together in formation by drafting off each other and taking turns doing the hard work at the front. Two or three adults will work cooperatively to look after the young of many goose families, allowing the other adults to feed or rest. It is cool to see 20 or 30 goslings following single file behind an adult across a pond. They can get a bit feisty when they feel threatened, but mostly they prefer to relax and just get on with enjoying life and raising their young.
This photo was taken at a popular urban park when a pair of big geese (some subspecies are much smaller) were taking off to carry on with their migration and were cooperative enough to fly low right past me. They gave me, a fellow Canadian, a friendly 'honk' as they passed. LOL
