Black-crowned Night Heron Takeoff And Flight Series

A busy and rather unattractive background but I like the bird in spite of it. (13 photos)

Song Sparrow – Instant Fluff-butt

I don’t post as many sparrows as I should, especially the common ones. To make matters worse, yesterday was World Sparrow Day and I made no mention of it. Today’s post is my attempt at redemption. (4 photos)

“Most successful” because I got more sharp shots than I’ve ever managed to get in a single flight series in the past and because several of them are among my favorite photos of the species, in flight or not.

I’m sure this photo from yesterday morning will quickly become one of my favorite shots of a Great Blue Heron in flight. I actually managed to get a long series of them, some of which I like as well or even better than this one.
