A Grey Heron with wings outstretched, facing the sun as it flies perpendicular to the ground, preparing to land. It's legs are out and head crest is standing as if a rudder. Scientific Name: Ardea cinerea Conservation status: Least concern

My bird of the day, which is making me smile with a contented delight is this Grey Heron. photographed last weekend during settings try-outs of a new camera.
Fair warning, there are many other postures I'm looking forward to sharing.

Found some common swifts in Paris! They were flying incredibly fast (as usual). New 300mm GM lens from Sony with extenders was incredible (even with 2x)

Stars reflecting off ice in remote Southeastern Oregon

Stars reflecting off ice in remote Southeastern Oregon with the Steens Mts in the distance

I spent a very cold night out on the Oregon Desert last month, and just couldn't go to sleep before making a few images of one of my favorite places with the Milkyway reflecting off ice.
