I've posted this before, but this shot of a normally fluffy or regal Snowy Owl fits today's theme of #FrightfulFeathers.

Today's themes are #NOP and #LargeBirds. This Great Grey Owl fits both, although I don't think he's very big under those feathers.

Since these are Ground Hornbills, today's Alt theme of #Grounded works well.

This Canada Goose was doing his best Flamingo impression. His partner told him to stop, so he had to put his foot down. 😉

Swans are not always props in peaceful, idyllic scenes...

They can be very aggressive ending in a clash of the titans.

Today's theme is #LMNO, which of course to me means #Owl...

Here are two little Eastern Screech Owls - one in grey phase and one in Rufous (Red Phase)

Today's theme is #Juveniles.

This is what you call a Poop Factory Starter Kit, AKA Canada Goose Goslings... Not related to that other Canadian Gosling (Ryan)

Schwäne sind nicht immer nur Staffage in friedlichen, idyllischen Szenen...

Sie können sehr aggressiv sein – was bisweilen in einem Kampf der Giganten gipfelt.

Today's theme is #Juveniles and the Alt is #Green.

In nesting season Canada Geese parents become the most evil, vicious creatures, know to challenge moose, bulls, and photographers.

I loved how the changing leaves reflected in the water

I took this shot of these Canada Geese on a walk near my home.

For today's Alt theme of #Black&White I thought I would submit this artsy experiment of a high key edit of an African Cape Penguin.

Technically this is a photo, but you need your imagination to fill in the blanks.

Why one must keep the camera handy.

This Ring-Billed gull landed right in front of me, showing off its fresh catch, noping I had some french fries to make his lunch Fish and Chips.
