This week’s theme? Twofers! That means any photo featuring two winged creatures—duets, duels, doubles, or delightful coincidences.
But don’t worry if your favorite shot is a solo act. All winged creatures are welcome—birds, bugs, bats, or butterflies. If it flaps, soars, skims, hovers, or glides, it belongs here.
So whether you’ve got synchronized swallows, battling buntings, or just a butterfly and a breeze—post away! We’d love to see what’s taken wing in your world.
Thanks for playing Winged Wednesday!
Worm-eating Warbler vs. Palm Warbler:
Both are in the wrong zip code—Dry Tortugas, Florida. But this branch overlooks the only fresh water for hundreds of miles.
They’re tired. They’re thirsty. And apparently, they both called dibs.
Peregrine Falcon & Western Grebes:
The falcon launched from water level—Lake Pleasant, Arizona. Only later, in post-processing, did I notice the grebes in the background… mid-dance.
It’s unclear who the performance was for, but I’m giving them all a standing ovation.
Sandhill Cranes Takeoff:
Basque del Apache, New Mexico. Two Greater Sandhill Cranes use the shallow pond as a runway, building speed with long-legged strides before liftoff.
Blue-eyed Darners in Flight:
Photographed in Arizona, these dragonflies are locked in a midair mating grip.
Golden Tanager and a female Green Honeycreeper:
Photographed in the Ecuadorian cloud forest, these two tropical gems shared a single vertical perch for all of three seconds.
