This duck really put on a performance as I was photographing it. He reminded me of a music conductor in charge of a beautiful symphony orchestra, hence the name, Maestro.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) flying off the nest with a half-eaten flounder in it’s talons. Taken at First Landing State Park, Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA. Equipment used to create this image was a Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor 300mm f2.8 AFS VR lens + Nikkor 1.4x Teleconverter (effective 546 mm focal length with digital conversion factor 1.3 for body), ISO equivalent 400, recorded f-stop 4.5, handheld. The Vibration Reduction (VR) function of this amazing lens is well worth the extra money. This species is one of the largest birds of prey in North America, eating almost exclusively fish (making it piscivorous). It is one of the most widespread birds in the world, found on all continents except Antarctica. Description / Large raptor. White breast and belly. Black back and wings. / Long wings, held with wingtips angled slightly backwards. / Dark eyestripe. Crown and forehead white. Golden yellow eyes. Size: 54-58 cm (21-23 in) / Wingspan: 150-180 cm (59-71 in) / Weight: 1400-2000 g (49.42-70.6 ounces) / Sex Differences / Sexes similar; female larger and tends to have fuller and darker chest band. Conservation Status / Osprey numbers declined drastically in 1950-1970s, from pesticide poisoning and eggshell thinning. After the ban on DDT, populations increased rapidly. Still listed as endangered or threatened in some states, especially in inland states where populations were small or extirpated after the pesticide years. Cool Facts / The Osprey readily builds its nest on manmade structures, such as telephone poles, channel markers, duck blinds, and nest platforms designed especially for it. Such platforms have become an important tool in reestablishing Ospreys in areas where they had disappeared. In some areas nests are placed almost exclusively on artificial structures. Osprey eggs do not hatch all at once, but instead the first chick hatches out up to five days before the last one. The older chick dominates its younger siblings, and can monopolize the food brought by the parents. If food is abundant, little aggression is seen amongst the chicks, but if food is limited, the younger chicks often starve. The Osprey is a fish-eating specialist, with live fish accounting for about 99% of its diet. Barbed pads on the soles of its feet help it grip slippery fish. When an Osprey takes a large fish to its nest, it carries the fish headfirst to make it as aerodynamic as possible. Sources used to construct this page: / Poole, A. F., R. O. Bierregaard, and M. S.

Another from the Edithvale Wetland outing with the Berwick Viewfinders’ Camera Club, 10.11.2008. I like this one simply because I caught the Stilt with one leg stretched out behind as it was moving through the water, feeding, and for the ripples caused by water dripping off the outstretched leg/foot. Other than being enlarged, this one is straight off the camera. Thank you for looking – I hope you get a smile from it just like I did. All comments and criticisms are appreciated.

I decided to turn my camera from the peaceful flotilla of ducks on the lake to those engaged in more frenetic action! I found it much more fun and a lot more exciting, not to mention challenging to freeze this action! I really loved watching the energetic flapping of this duck after it emerged from the water. It’s really amazing to see the intricacies of their plumage!

I was able to snap this shot of an owl and a crow “greeting” each other in my yard. It was the first time I’d ever seen such an encounter! I thought it would make a fun card and a unique way to send greetings to a friend or loved one.

I took this photo of a barred owl flying overhead as it moved from tree to tree on our property. See this other image as well; thank you! /

I walked right up to a pigeon sitting on a pier overlooking the Mississippi River in New Orleans; he tolerated my presence for a while and then took off after he got bored. It was a nice encounter, a fleeting but delightful moment.

Lake Martin is home to thousands of nesting waterfowl, the great white egret being among the vast numbers. I watched this one taking off from a cypress tree in the lake. I love the graceful, effortless way they fly.
