Time for some adorableness. 🥰 😘

This is a piping plover on the beach standing guard over her two chicks. They are TINY.

Photographer - Karl Ramsdell

Edit: I am informed by @Avloky that she is being a "Mombrella," shielding her babies from the sun and other weather. A perfect description! 🏖️

A little piping plover stands on the sand in profile, guarding two chicks which are tucked between her feet, asleep.

She is being a "Mombrella," so that the sun and other weather doesn't beat down on her babies at this delicate stage.

The photographer is Karl Ramsdell.


Looking Out on the realm

Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) are highly territorial. This one perches atop a small pine tree, surveying the landscape below, likely on the lookout for prey.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"This image showcases the northern mockingbird perched gracefully atop a pine tree. Its grayish-brown feathers, contrasting with its pale underparts, are beautifully captured. Its signature long tail adds to its elegance, and the bird appears vigilant, gazing towards the right. The clear, serene sky in the background complements the natural setting, emphasizing the bird's distinctive features. The credit "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom corner adds a touch of professionalism to this striking nature shot. It truly embodies the beauty of wildlife photography!" - Copilot

Silvereye, Zosterops lateralis, a common small insectivore of the Canberra region. Common or not, they're still beautiful - and I've even had the privilege of holding one in my hand - when it flew into a window and was stunned. I held its immaculate little presence in my hand, protecting it from harm (and pets) until it recovered sufficiently to fly off. Wonderful.

"An evening
starred with starlings...
Were that wordplay
it also brings out
truth,
so blackly twittering,
an unheard-of-ness
in the labyrinth.

It must
be Autumn: a furrowing
of the brow,
the birdcloud
rising
from fouled treetops

to take
northwards, an
incomprehensible direction."

'Birdcloud', by John Hartley Williams

(In past centuries it was believed that migrating birds would winter on the moon)

"There is no leaving for them
in such shifts south,

best weather is their territory,
their existence its insects

swallowed like distance.
For us, just a surging

of sky-piercing shapes,
pointed birds in search of moon-food,

and the weighty northern day
bereft. But from these beliefs

and from their visiting wings’
return were angels made."

'The Nowhere Birds', by Caitriona O'Reilly

A couple of weeks ago I had a beautiful foggy morning to shoot waterfowl and I am very happy with the way this shot turned out! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Vertical format.  The water line is about 1/5 from the top.  On the water line is a lone silhouetted duck on the left and facing right.  There is a lot of fog on the water and above it is pitch black.  Below the duck is more fog blending into a reflection of the trees in the background with the golden glow of sunrise extending to the bottom.


Todays waddle was magic. It started slow and bit colder than expected, but then I spotted
My first bluethroat of the season. And this fellow was in a good singing mood, flying around. I sat down and waited, until he popped up in bush behind me singing. 😍

#GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕
Hallo kleine #MittwochsMeise. Du brauchst dich nicht verstecken. Es weiß doch so und so jeder, daß du eine von meinen bist.
Euch einen schönen #Mittwoch.
#Fotografie #Photography #Vögel #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon
Eine Kohlmeise (Parus major) im Geäst eines kahlen Obstbaums. Sie sitzt dem Beobachter frontal gegenüber, wird aber durch Zweige vor ihr teilweise verdeckt.
Der Vogel hat einen kurzen schwarzen Schnabel. Die Federn am Kopf sind schwarz und an den Wangen und Ohrdecken weiß. Der Rücken erscheint grünlich, Brust und Bauch gelb. Der untere Rücken, die Flügeldecken und der Schwanz sind blaugrau. In der Mitte der Unterseite des Rumpfes befindet sich ein schwarzer Längsstrich.


Eigentlich sollte ich euch einfach jedes Wasseramselfoto zeigen. Die Tiere sind so cool.

"The owl wafts home with a mouse in its beak.
The moon is stunningly bright in the high sky.
Such a gold stone, such a brilliant hard light.
Such large round eyes of the owl among the trees.
All seems immortal but for the dangling mouse,
an old hurt string among the harmony
of the masterful and jewelled orchestra
which shows no waste soundlessly playing on."

#GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕
Ich habe mir vorgenommen, geradlinig auf das nächste Wochenende zuzusteuern.
Ach Mist, da muß ich ja arbeiten.
Habt einen schönen #Montag. Kommt gut in und durch die neue Woche.

Ein Graureiher (Ardea cinerea) seitlich im Flug aufgenommen. Die Flügel sind halb nach oben gestreckt und werfen einen Schatten auf einen großen Teil des Rumpfes. Der Kopf ist an den Körper zurückgezogen; die Beine sind gerade nach hinten gestreckt.
Das Gefieder des Graureihers ist auf Stirn und Oberkopf weiß, am Hals grauweiß und auf dem Rücken aschgrau mit weißen Bändern. Er hat schwarze Augenstreifen sowie drei lange schwarze Schopffedern, die einen Federbusch bilden, eine dreifache schwarze Fleckenreihe am Vorderhals sowie schwarze Schwingen. Der lange Schnabel ist gelblich und geht auf dem Schnabelfirst ins Bräunliche über. Die Wachshaut ist gelb und wird Richtung Auge grünlich. Die drei langen Vorderzehen sind am Stelzenbein weit auseinander gespreizt und verhindern das Einsinken in den weichen Untergrund.

Another clue that the California towhees are not tree birds… this one was so unstable looking. Not helped by choosing a bud rather than a branch for one foot, and different branches for each foot too.
