Imagine you are fish
Lurking beneath ice 🧊

You look up.
Your nemesis is staring, googly eyed, down at you
#Kersplooosh 💦
Lights out.

Lol. Yeah, with looks like that, the photos will always be show stoppers! 😁

That’s amazing! I know there has been one in Arizona and also one spotted in Wisconsin, but otherwise we just don’t have them here.

Thanks, Rob! 👋

That’s wonderful. We are very slowly getting our population up. Once there is more of them they might be less shy. 🙂

Fantastic captures, Rob! Your kingfishers are so colorful! And those mandarin ducks are really special!

Oh, that’s awesome! And great capture! We are slowly getting a small population of them here. Still more mutes than trumpeters though.

Thank you! Just a lone wildflower along the bike trail. 🙂

Happy #StunDay Bluesky!! 🌿

#BirdOfTheDay is #colourful, with a 'u', and if I have a more coloUrful birb than Manny, idk who it is...🎨🖌️

Who you callin' coloUrful, bud? ...is the attitude you get from Manny the Mandarin duck doing his full crest and whiskers display with his sails up too. Look all that mandarin jargon up. I had to. Zen birding.

Oh my! Wonderful photo! I can’t believe you got that close! The ones around here are more shy.

Thanks, Rich!

I’m curious, do you ever see any trumpeter swans there in Iowa?

Gorgeous! 👏👏 You certainly got close enough to the one in Michigan. In my experience, that’s pretty rare.

Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.
