That’s a fabulous scene, Roger. You can feel the tension in every feather—the Green Heron coiled like a spring, all focus and patience. The intensity practically hums off the frame.

Welcome home, Trent! Those five shots are spectacular—proof that even Denmark’s wind and rain can’t dampen a good birder’s eye. Sounds like Fanø Island rewarded your perseverance beautifully. Hope Saskatoon feels just a little less gray after that adventure! All 5 photos are awesome. The...

Beautifully photographed, Alan, the Canada Jay looks right at home on that stone wall. I always carry trail mix when I’m in Canada Jay habitat; they’ll happily eat right from your hand!

Fabulous shot, Doug — the honey bee is exquisite, but that yellow bee balm absolutely steals the show. A perfect flight-macro duet!

Kudos on a great photo, Roger!!!

Wonderful!!!

It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether it chirps, buzzes, glides, or hovers—if it takes to the air, it belongs here. This week is open to anything with wings. Inspired again by Jeffrey’s recent posts, I’ll be sharing bird photos from my journey to...

Fantastic photo, Roger!!! Two ladies of the house, top Mallard hen, bottom i think is a pintail hen. I'll be home in a week, I'll get a better look on monitor than my phone

Thanks, Alan. WOW zappa WOW WOW!!! Every photograph is awesome

It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether it chirps, buzzes, glides, or hovers—if it can get airborne, it belongs here. This week is open to anything that takes to the air. Inspired by Jeffrey’s post last week, I’ll be sharing bird photos from my...

Thanks for joining the chaos, Trent—it only gets stranger from here.”

Can’t wait to see your Denmark photos, Trent. That Great Tit is dressed to impress, and the fruit fly? Pure Trent—bathed in your trademark soft light with every detail sparkling.

Thanks, Alan, for showing up every week and always posting photos worth seeing. The stormy shore with the Black Oystercatchers is terrific—40 years ago, when I was listing my sightings, this species was my 500th ABA bird. Wonderful to see them again through your lens. And your shot of the...

Jeffrey, all five of your Pantanal photos are exceptional. The Jabiru storks in the nest are fabulous—I climbed that same high tower for a similar view. We always called the Rusty-margined Guan a Chestnut-bellied Guan, though I’ve never been entirely sure which name is right. Your Boat-billed...

Where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether they’re zipping, sunbathing, or striking a midair pose, we celebrate anything with wings—birds, bugs, bats, or butterflies. All photos are welcome, and thank you for playing! This week, I’m contributing five bird portraits. At first...

Two superb photos, Alan. That’s a lot of cormorants (13!) striking a various poses on those pilings, and the close-up portrait of the juvenile Red-tail is a real winner. Thirteen cormorants make a chorus, but one hawk is a solo act worth the admiring.

Those are fantastic macros, Trent — the detail you pull out in your bug photography is unreal. That fly-on-fly shot is both wild and baffling: since adult flies usually feed by regurgitating digestive fluids and then lapping them back up, it doesn’t exactly scream “mealtime.” Maybe it’s a...

Thank you, Trent! And a big thank you for reading my Substack blogs.

Thanks, Alan

It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether they’re zipping, sunbathing, or striking a midair pose, we celebrate anything with wings—birds, bugs, bats, or butterflies. This week, I’m sharing five perched portraits—each one featuring a species with “black”...
