Good Evening and Goodnight BlueSky Folks! Here is a Picture of three Common Starling
Perched on my Tv Ariel.
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The picture shows several European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) perched on an old television antenna that has bird spikes installed along its horizontal arms. The spikes are meant to deter birds from landing, but the starlings have cleverly positioned themselves in the gaps between the spikes, comfortably resting on the metal frame. There are four birds visible: one on the left arm, two on the central section, and one on the lower right. The background is a plain, overcast sky, giving the image a somewhat humorous "birds outsmarting human anti-perching measures" vibe.

Good Afternoon and Happy Friday BlueSky Folks! Here is a Picture of two Tufted Ducks that I saw at my local Lake a few days ago.
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The picture shows two ducks swimming in a body of water. The ducks have black heads, necks, and bodies with bright yellow eyes and white patches on their chests. They appear to be a type of diving duck, likely Tufted Ducks (Aythya fuligula), characterized by their distinctive black and white plumage. The water surface is calm with some ripples and reflections, and there are a few green leaves or algae visible on the water. The ducks are close to each other, creating a serene and natural scene.

Good Evening and goodnight BlueSky Folks! Here is a Close Up Picture of a silhouette of a cormorant that I Managed to Capture while I was visiting my Local Lake a few days ago
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
The image is a striking black-and-white silhouette photograph of a bird, likely a cormorant or shag, perched on a horizontal post or beam with its wings fully extended outward. The bird is shown in profile, facing to the left, with its long neck stretched upward and its beak pointing slightly upward. The wings are spread wide in a classic drying pose commonly seen in cormorants after diving, creating a dramatic, almost heraldic shape against a bright, featureless background that appears to be calm water reflecting strong backlight (probably the sun low on the horizon). The high contrast and backlighting reduce the bird to a pure black silhouette, emphasizing the elegant curve of the neck, the jagged outline of the wing feathers, and the overall symmetrical, cruciform posture. The overall effect is bold, graphic, and somewhat majestic.

Here is another close up Picture of a Female Mallard Duck that I saw while visiting my local lake.
Captured on a Canon EOS R50
This is a close-up photograph of a duck, specifically showing its head and neck in profile. The duck has: - A long, bright yellow-orange bill with a slightly darker tip and a small black "nail" at the end. - Brown eyes with a calm expression. - Mottled brown and beige plumage with intricate, scaly patterns on the head and neck. - Fluffy, slightly ruffled feathers that give it a soft, textured appearance. - The background is blurred and neutral (grays and beiges), so the focus remains entirely on the duck’s head. It appears to be a female mallard or a similar species of dabbling duck, photographed in soft natural light. The overall mood of the image is serene and detailed.
