It’s Winged Wednesday—where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether they’re soaring, skimming, stalking, or striking a pose… birds, bugs, bats, insects, or even airplanes—if it has wings, we want to see it. If it’s got wings, it belongs here.
Always an open theme — all winged photos welcome.
My contributions: Bird Portraits
No wingspans. No fish being flung through the air. No mid-flight acrobatics.
Sometimes the most powerful wildlife photo isn’t action — it’s the moment a bird looks straight back at you.
Scarlet Macaw
Head to tail in brilliant scarlet—like a tropical parade float that learned how to fly.
Northern Saw-whet Owl
Tiny owl. Giant eyes.
Expression says it just caught you opening the cookie jar.
Carunculated Caracara
Red face, serious stare, and the unmistakable look of a bird that is disappointed with you.
Kea
The only parrot that sees your backpack and thinks,
“Let’s see what’s inside.”
Brown Pelican
A bill the size of a canoe paddle and the look of someone who has heard every fish excuse before.
Antlion
As a larva it built sand traps and dragged ants underground.
Adult antlions resemble dragonflies or damselflies, but they belong to the order Neuroptera, the same group as lacewings.
They’re actually rather clumsy flyers, so many species hunt small insects from perches or nearby vegetation.
