Sunday Stills – On the Wing

Posted in Birds, Photography, WildlifeTagged , ,

Terri’s Sunday Stills challenge is On the Wing. I enjoy bird photography and have thousands of bird photos in my archives. I browsed through some of them and included a few favorites for this challenge.

I am the daughter of a United States Air Force pilot and I can’t do a post about wings without including wings of the USAF Thunderbirds.

  1. Great photos, Beth. Love the image of the juvenile whooping crane with its wings spread. Hmm, wonder where that photo was taken? Ding, ding … I know! 🤣

      1. I’ll be in the Tampa area and a little further northwest of there in mid-September do you have any places you like to bird or know of any in that area that would be good in mid-September? I reached out to the Tampa Audubon via and email about it but, haven’t heard back from them. I hope I do!

        1. Two places that come to mind are Cedar Key, Florida and Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. I’ve never been there in September so I don’t know if you would see any. Cedar Key has lots of other wading birds -white pelicans, brown pelicans, egrets and herons. Homosassa rehabs injured birds and animals. Tampa has several nice parks in the area. Hopefully the Audubon Society will get back with you. Good luck!

    1. Judy, you know how much I like bird photography. I’m glad you liked the hummingbird. That one is from my archives. I haven’t been able to capture one this year. I see them every day but they don’t stay around long enough for a picture. The Thunderbirds remind me of the air shows I went to when I was growing up. Henry and I saw them a few years ago.
