A hawk is rising from the top of a tree with its wings in a v-shape and its legs still touching the tree. The bird has reddish wings and a pale belly with brown streaks and spots. The background is a gray sky.

From earlier this month at Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR, a Red-tailed Hawk takes off as I ventured a little too close for its comfort.

Dieses horizontale Schwarz-Weiß-Foto zeigt eine junge Frau mit dunklem Haar, die auf einem metallischen Balkon oder einer Laderampe steht und eine Gruppe Tauben beobachtet. Sie trägt ein helles, kurzärmeliges Hemd und eine dunkle Schürze, während sie sich leicht an ein Metallgestell lehnt. Vor ihr sitzen sieben Tauben in einer Reihe auf dem Geländer und blicken in verschiedene Richtungen. Der Hintergrund besteht aus einer dunklen Backsteinwand mit hellen Fugen und einer gläsernen Tür mit Sprossenfenstern. Die Komposition wirkt wie ein flüchtiger, ungestellter Moment im städtischen Arbeitsalltag. Das harte Licht erzeugt starke Kontraste und betont die Texturen der Ziegel sowie das Gefieder der Vögel. Die Szene vermittelt eine ruhige, fast vertraute Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Tier inmitten einer funktionalen, urbanen Umgebung.

With the Arizona sunlight shining right on its back, a Double-crested Cormorant shows off its shimmery plumage while loitering at the edge of the dock at the north end of Lynx Lake, AZ.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Feathers&Form Celebrating texture, pattern, and structure of feathers...

🌿 I too, am not sure wtf that encompasses, but Alan skeeted a cormorant so that seems a safe bet...🤘😶‍🌫️

An ivy-covered path leads into a stand of beech, oak, and maple trees with some small evergreens and a magnolia tree around the perimeter.

The image captures a breathtaking and dramatic sky at sunset, dominated by an extraordinary display of vibrant colours. The upper portion of the frame is a tumultuous canvas of deep purples and electric magentas, where swirling, textured clouds catch the light. Streaks and patches of intense, almost neon, pink and crimson blaze across the atmosphere, especially concentrated in a vertical column slightly left of centre, creating a striking contrast against the cooler, darker violet and indigo hues of the surrounding sky. The clouds appear dynamic, as in motion, with wispy edges blending into the deeper background colours. The lower third of the photograph presents a stark silhouette of the terrestrial landscape. A dark, rolling hill occupies the foreground, covered in grass, rendered almost entirely in shadow. The deep green is barely perceptible, merging into blackness at the very bottom of the frame. A faint line of simple post-and-wire fencing is visible in the extreme foreground, providing a sense of scale and depth. Crowning the ridge of the hill is a dense, jagged line of trees. These trees are completely silhouetted against the brilliant sky, their leafless branches creating an intricate, dark, skeletal pattern. The sharp contrast between the intensely lit sky and the pitch-black landscape creates a powerful visual tension. The horizon line itself glows with softer, warm orange and pink light just above the treeline before transitioning into the spectacular overhead canopy of colour. The scene is devoid of any other elements like buildings or people, focusing entirely on the raw, untamed spectacle of the sky and the natural landscape. The atmosphere appears clear, allowing the vivid colours to dominate the entire composition, from the very top of the frame down to the dark earth below. The photo is a vertical composition, emphasising the height and expanse of the sky.

Eine Nahaufnahme von zwei wunderschönen und farbenprächtigen Mandarinenten, die auf einem waagerechten, leicht moosbewachsenen Ast direkt auf dem spiegelnden Wasser eines Teichs sitzen und in die gleiche Richtung zur Seite blicken. Um sie herum befinden sich weitere ähnliche Äste.
