Bird in flight

been reading about tribal child raising and the benefits, and we know I like birds… I began this art as abstract patterns, bubbles of pattern that transformed when I realised by putting a ‘fork in the road’ to the concentric circles, that I created an eye and beak. Before that, it could’ve been shown either way up. also, it transformed from earthy brown colours, to a colourful bird. ‘Is it art? ‘my teacher used to always question. He’s not here now. He’s just asking the question still! in my head! I like it-it’s bright, colouful and alive.

This guy swam in front of the lens just as I clicked the shutter. I think he was doing the free stroke.

Wild American kestrel (Falco sparverius) in flight, stooping from left to right (Taken at Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area, 5 miles southwest of Columbia, Missouri). Perhaps the most colorful raptor in the world, the American Kestrel is the most common falcon in North America. It is found from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, and in towns as well as wild lands. Identifying marks inlcude small size, rufous back and tail, and two dark mustache marks on face. Male has blue-gray wings and a lightly spotted chest and belly. The larger female has rufous wings barred with black, and streaking on the chest. This particular bird is a female. Their call is a loud series of “klee-klee-klee” notes when excited. As with many other raptors in North America, their population n umbers dramatically declined in the 1950’s and 1960’s, but have increased greatly in recent decades with increasing deforestation of North America. They are aslo commonly called Sparrow hawk. Although hover-hunting is conspicuous, this foraging method actually is used rather infrequently. It is used most often when suitable perches are not available, or when winds are strong enough to create updrafts favorable to hovering. In winter in many southern parts of the range, female and male American Kestrels use different habitats. The female uses the preferred more open habitat, and the male uses areas with more trees. This situation appears to be the result of the females migrating south first and establishing winter territories. The males then are forced into the less preferred areas. Nestling kestrels back up, raise their tails, and squirt feces onto the walls of the nest cavity. The feces dry on the cavity walls and stay off the nestlings. The nest gets to be a smelly place, with feces on the walls and uneaten parts of small animals on the floor. Source used to construct this page: Smallwood, J. A., and D. M. Bird. 2002.

Maybe its because I love these birds, falcon. A lesser kestrel or small falcon. OR it is because of the clarity of the falcon. OR it is because the falcon looks like it is ready for hunt for food. OR it is because it looks like the falcon is head right for you. OR it is because its is my first image added to my favorites. OR it is because……….Well I think it is because of its an overall beautiful bird!

A female Rufous Humming Bird in flight to a favorite feeding flower, the Crocosmia ( thank you Hilary!). The Crocosmia “Lucifer”, is related to the Iris family of flowers. The flowers grow up to 1.52 meters ( 5 ft) tall and prefer more sun than not. The leaves are tall and nicely pleated. This flower originates from South Africa. RUFOUS HUMMING BIRDS Size: 7-9 cm (3-4 in) / Wingspan: 11 cm (4 in) / Weight: 2-5 g (0.07-0.18 ounces) Male’s have a red throat; female’s have a throat white with a few red feathers. Male’s are extensively orange on back and body, where as the female has a green back and head. Male’s have an orange tail with pointed black tips, where as the female’s tail is orange, green and black with rounded white tips. Unfortunately the Rufous Humming Bird is declining over most of its range. It is listed on the Audubon Watchlist. The Rufous Hummingbird makes one of the longest migratory journeys of any bird in the world, as measured by body size. Its 3,900 mi (6,276 km) movement from Alaska to Mexico is equivalent to 784,500 body lengths. In comparison, the 11,185 mi (18,000 km) flight of the Arctic Tern is only 514,286 body lengths. The Rufous Hummingbird has an excellent memory for location, no doubt assisting it to find flowers from day to day, or even from year to year. Some birds have been seen returning from migration and investigating where a feeder was the previous year, even though the feeder was currently absent. MANY THANKS TO THE GROUP ” HUMMINGBIRDS AROUND THE WORLD” FOR FEATURING THIS SHOT ON SAT, JAN 10/09!

I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT 350D, with my 250 mm lens from my film camera. / BEST VIEWED LARGE. TAKEN AS IS. Shutter speed was 1/1600, F-stop and aperture value F/7.1, Focal Length was 200 mm., and ISO was 400. / SOLD: One Large Mounted Print. I was on my way down the mountain when I spotted this Hawk on a fence post. I stopped and put on my telephoto lens, and slowly crept up to him. I got him on the fence post, and even just as he took off. I shot several fast shots, and caught a three good ones, this is one of them. Hawks are widely reputed to have visual acuity several times that of a normal human being. This is due to the many photoreceptors in the retina (up to 1,000,000 per square mm for Buteo, against 200,000 for humans), an exceptional number of nerves connecting these receptors to the brain, and an indented fovea, which magnifies the central portion of the visual field.

You will have to take my word for it but this is an image of a female Rufous Hummingbird, Selasphorus rufus, flying in reverse. Hummingbirds are the only birds that can actually fly backwards. Image captured at Vaughn Bay, Washington. /

A Hummingbird’s flight speed can average 25-30 mph, and can dive up to 60 mph. Their wings can flutter/beat 60-80 times a second. More facts are shown on other hummingbird images. Thank you for viewing.

I thought I’d improve on my image and substitute a real flower for the hummingbird feeder flower so this is my attempt to do so. An althea from Mama’s garden was used as the overlay for the plastic flower. I liked the dreaminess of the hummingbird image and i think the exotic looking flower added to that dreaminess. Just playing on a day when tropical showers from the Gulf are keeping me indoors. I got the photo of the hummingbird through the windows panes of the French doors on my patio, so the rain hasn’t really stopped me from having fun with my camera and Photoshop. Sometimes I feel like a kindergartner with a box of crayons and big sheets of paper waiting for my flights of expression!

The water is a mix of salt and fresh water, creating a very interesting environment for Great Blue Herons. I watched this bird for some time, as it fed on very small fish. I loved the bird against the marsh grasses when it decided to move on. The reflection in the tidal pool was definitely a bonus. The image was captured at Campbell River on Vancouver Island, Canada, using a Nikon D700, Nikkor 600 mm lens and 1.4 teleconverter on a Gitzo monopod.
