A backlit, Black and White image of a Red-winged Blackbird singing, the breath of the bird is visible in the chilly air, looking like he was smoking.

Portrait of a female great white pelican. The bird shows white plumage with a very faint pink tinge, a cream-yellow gular pouch and orangey skin on its face. The bill is bluish grey, with reddish maxilla edges. With its large beak it is preening its breast feathers.

I had a chance to witness the Great Blue Herons elaborate courtship rituals at the Everett Marina in Washington state recently.
Although they don't mate for life, they form a close bond for a breeding season.
The male picks the nest site and attracts a female, e.g. with offering twigs, if she accepts them its a sure sign of success and they go on displaying other types of courtship rituals.
In this capture the male just returns to the chosen nest site and offers a twig, the partner will be arranging the nest after accepting it.
Fascinating to observe their coded behavior.

Start your #Monday off on the right foot and do the Twist 😆 I’m old enough to remember doing the Twist…

Two Great Blue Herons stand on weathered wooden posts with one extending his neck and raising its feathers in an animated display that resembles a dance like the Twist. The other is leaning backwards with her feathers raised. Actually it’s part of a courtship ritual.

Same place, same bird, one year later. Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis, 🇩🇪 Eisvogel, 🇵🇱 zimorodek)

Frontal view of a male Kingfisher standing on a large rock. The bright colours of the bird contrast sharply with the dull grey surroundings of rocks and dirt. The bird turns its head to the side.

Osprey, nictitating membrane closed over its eyes, right at the moment the first talon breaks the surface of the water as it dives for a herring.

This is the shape of birdsong. Because the bird is a Red-winged Blackbird, it's also the shape of swearing.

Went out today with the sole intention of photographing Goslings and Ducklings. So there may be a few fluffy bundles in my timeline today.

This is a Graylag Gosling, I was so close I had to remove the tele-convertor I usually use

Good morning. ☕☕☕

13 May 2025

Hopefully, today is a yardwork day. I tend to put things off whenever I feel like it, but the ever-growing grass serves as a reminder that I need to take action—kind of like my cluttered desktop. For weeks, I've been telling myself I need to clear it off, yet I let things stay there simply as reminders that each item requires attention. You see how that works, right? Then there's the water bottle in the corner—I have no idea why it's there, but it's been sitting for a while. A mystery not worth solving. I also need to vacuum my office floor. The Roomba comes through every morning, but lately, it just seems to shuffle things around.

"Procrastination is like a credit card: it's a lot of fun until you get the bill." — Christopher Parker

Notice things.

Sometimes, when I'm out walking, I spot something and snap a picture. Unlike the days of film, there’s no cost to taking the shot—even if it seems unremarkable at the time. But later, as I sift through the photos, I notice details I overlooked. When I took this particular shot, I focused on the birds without really seeing the forest around them. I’m not sure what species they are, but I’d guess they belong to the local pigeon battalion.

"This image beautifully captures a forest scene during autumn, with trees displaying a mix of golden yellow and green foliage. The sky is a vibrant blue with a few wispy clouds drifting across it. Adding an element of movement to the tranquil landscape, several birds are seen soaring high above the treetops. The framing includes branches on both sides, creating a natural border that enhances the depth of the scene. The contrast between the rich autumn colors and the crisp sky makes this an eye-catching photograph, highlighting both the serenity and liveliness of nature." - Copilot

I wanted to get a picture of a puffin with the mountains in the background instead of the sea. Without a wide-angle lens, this was the best I could pull off lol. I'm still kind of proud of it, though.
