I bought a book about #birds of #Europe almost 30 years ago when I was in #Sweden, it is one of the best books I have ever bought.

It came so handy even in the #US to identify the family of the birds or sometimes even the right name in #Swedish (to have a comparison).

I am trying to learn the birds in #France and their names in #French with the help of the book and found this image very useful. I have seen many of them here and when I was living south of #Paris.

Although declared extinct in the wild in 2019, not all hope is lost for the Spix's Macaw. This gorgeous bird once inhabited the drainage basin of the São Francisco River, in Brazil. It had a very restricted natural habitat due to its dependence on a particular tree species. The 2011 animated movie Rio actually portrayed the story of the supposed last pair of Spix's macaws. Thankfully, the species is now maintained through captive breeding programs, and efforts are being made to restore its natural habitat and reintroduce it to the wild. Mating for life, a pair typically also enjoys sharing food and mutual grooming.

Roseate Spoonbills

At Myakka River State Park (FL) before heading South to the Everglades. A calm day today with a little time to sift through the phone and even a card or two from camera. The good stuff will likely be via YouTube (sorry, but ad-free at least) and on Flickr.

(I can't post lots more big images 'here' without deleting many things I submitted to groups, contests, etc.... just a hassle, though I tried, so....)

"Making lemonade when you have lemons" mode has been challenging and fun (creatively). Fewer wading birds all around South Florida this spring, but OK, I would like something new: Crocodiles! No. I found bugs. (Or they found me.) Some were photogenic,
Some were scary.

I tried various abstract things with the light and shape and colors around me. Hope to eke some of that out soon.

Today was butterfly day!

Atala Butterfly

I'd heard from a handful of folks as I took a walk which was recommended - very close to me, in a bird sanctuary. A unique butterfly which only grows on a rare shrub which grows here; interesting color and pattern (luminous blue/purple).
Today many caterpillars were on those bushes. Springtime for them too.

And then after a long time there I found a Butterfly House in the Wilderness, pretty cool...

So butterflies and abstract 'impressions' to come, well into when I return to NYC in time to avoid hurricanes, Love Bugs, and a trillion cicadas in June.

My camera and my feet are soooo dead!

With their iridescent blues and stylish crests, the Blue Jay and the Steller's Jay are two of the most stunning birds of North America. Together, they form the genus Cyanocitta, and because they sometimes interbreed, their status as distinct species has been contested. While the Steller's jay inhabits the mountain chain system along the Pacific coast, the blue jay is spread through southern Canada and most of the eastern and central United States. They feed on a variety of seeds, nuts, berries, fruits, and occasionally prey on small animals. When the time comes for a female to find a mate, she will gather a dozen males and have them compete to keep up with her flying around all day, until only one remains. The two then bond for life.

After getting its hair did and putting on lipstick, the Great Blue Turaco looks ready to go out for an evening of fine dining. For this bird, this translates to foraging in small groups for flowers, fruits, and leaves. Recent studies revealed that it is more closely related to go-away-birds and plantain-eaters than it is to other species of turacos, though they are all part of the same family of gregarious, non-migratory birds endemic to Africa. This particular species is widespread throughout the African tropical rainforest, and at 30 inches in length, it is the largest species of turaco.

War da nicht ein Kopf?
Heute fiel mir ein dass ich doch mal wieder gucken könnte ob der "Adler" schon wieder da ist und auch dieses Jahr brütet. #Fischadler #Osprey
Fast alles ist jetzt schneefrei also habe ich mir die Kamera geschnappt und bin mal wieder quer durch den Wald zu dem mir bekannten Host. Als ich mich vorsichtig näherte war ich nicht sicher ob da nicht ein Kopf war. Ja doch! Tatsächlich noch ein paar Schritte näher und schon stieg Er auf weil Sie mich natürlich schon gesehen hatte. Wie schön dass auch dieses Jahr wieder ein Paar; oder ist es das Selbe? dort brütet.
