My house sits in a valley between 3 small lakes a couple of miles out. I can hear the geese coming as they fly from one lake to another. It's lovely! #USBirding

A photograph of a pelican in flight on a light blue sky. The bird faces right and its entire back is visible, with the face in profile. The pelican's wings are outstretched and each feather seems to stand out individually.

European Robin, an Old World Flycatcher. Here, perched on my allotment spade with a larva in its bill, and the bird is staring quizically at the camera suggesting to me that I do a bit more digging and unearth more moth larvae from the soil!!!

A photo taken at the beach of a flock of ibises. Some of the ibises are in the very shallow water. Three are about to land, their feet just a foot or so above the sand. Behind them, a low wave rolls in with a green-ish ocean behind them, and a sliver of sky at the very top of frame.

Unfortunately, people feed them despite the numerous signs about not feeding the birds. That is what I could get so close for a photo.

'Alae 'ula (Hawaiian moorhen | Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis)

This water bird is endemic to Hawai'i and currently endangered.

They're visually similar to the Common Gallinulle and also have calls that sound almost identical.

White terns nest year round, but peak season is February - June. I suspect they tend to fly close to you to escort you away from their nests.

Some busy white terns (Gygis alba) this morning.

They like to fly right over your head and next to you.

A photograph of three ibises flying just a foot or so above wet sand at the beach. The birds are in the bottom left quadrant, and their shadows are directly beneath them. The sand is a dark tan, with the ocean to the left. It's light green out to see and white where it meets the sand, cutting diagonally just above the middle of the photo.

Just before this photo, a few others swooped by me while I was jogging; I was lucky to have the time to stop and get the camera ready for these three beauties and their nifty flyby

Happy Tues, all
