Birds Part I :-)


Snow Geese, New Mexico

Snow geese in New Mexico’s Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge flock along the Rio Grande,


White Pelicans, Mississippi

White pelicans are among the largest Mississippi Flyway migrants. At an average weight of 16 pounds (7 kilograms), they rely on a nine-foot (three-meter) wingspan to enable flight at very high altitudes. They use a unique fishing technique, cooperatively herding fish into small areas on the surface where the pickings are easy.


Flamingos, Kenya

A flamingo is captured in flight at Lake Nakura National Park in Kenya.


Black-Browed Albatrosses, Falkland Islands

After wintering as far from the Falklands as South Africa, black-browed albatrosses reunite with their mates on the same nests they occupied in previous years.


Bumblebee

I was trying to frame this bumblebee for a long time. After several attempts, I somehow managed this. Guess that's nature—ever changing and bountiful. One lifetime and a camera is not enough to fathom it.

The keen eyes of a Steller's sea-eagle seek the flash of herring between ice floes off the Shiretoko Peninsula.
