One of those waterfowls I would like to get very close, and I managed to get some this season!
Enjoy! Have a great long weekend!

I finally got some time to work on some photos tonight, and I decided to work on this white-silvery beauty, which was pretty much at a petting distance. You should have seen that it was right next to Don's foot as Don, Dale, and I were walking at the shoreline of the lake. Just too bad the number of shorebirds seen that day was less than 2 weekends ago.
I will post the rest of the Sanderling series tomorrow night. In the mean time, enjoy this lovely portrait!

Check out the last half of the video about the flight of the Goshawk.

The Goshawks are considered "master of maneuver." They are quite capable of flying through thick forest and bushes with great accuracy. I don't think I would even attempt to approach a Goshawk's nest like we did with the Swainson's Hawk this summer. Their aggressiveness, speed, and maneuverability could injure us severely even if trying to stand next to a post or a tree.
Please feel free to click on any of the photos below to enlarge.
