Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 134
Wings, where would a bird be without them?
I'm sure that all of us #bird #watchers have contemplated what it would be like soaring high above the landscape, gliding on the wind currents, and being able to take in the view from all directions. Those of us who have the guts to strap on a pair of those nylon wings and then jump off of a cliff to get airborne know the joy of unrestricted freedom. @flemingfarm knows exactly what I'm talking about, he's got the GUTS.
All of the pictures featured in this blog were taken while on vacation in the Sunshine State, Florida. Here we have the Wood Stork flying low to the ground. With every powerful wave of its wings, the beauty of this bird becomes eye-popping.
While searching for food in a marshy area it uses its wings for balance,
kind of like a person uses a balancing pole when doing a high-wire act.
The Great Cormorant has wings that are different than most.
His wings don't repel water but become saturated with water. When this bird swims his body becomes submerged in the water with only his neck and head above the surface.
Here's the cormorant with his wings stretched completely out to its side.
They do this to dry off in the sun.
This cormorant just surfaced from a dive after looking for a fish to snack on.
Seagulls are a very common bird that is constantly in search of food, even if they are snacking on your snacks
The Brown pelican's wings fold neatly against its body as it dives into the water, hoping to come to the surface with a fish.
This pelican must have a belly full as it takes a break from fishing. It seems to be observing one of its kind sitting on the concrete foundation that supports the pillar of the bridge.
This Great egret seems to be enjoying a stroll on top of the mangrove stand, using its wings for balance. Their pure white wings and body look angelic.
Thank you @melinda010100, @barbara-orenya, and @nelinovia for all of the time you spend keeping the #featheredfriends community flying high.

Woah!! What a selection of wings. Those are some snappy shots. Well done. Love the wood stork
Who doesn't like a good selection of wings, honey mustard, hot, garlic parmigiana, or maybe everything wings.
🤣
Good ol Mr Bean giggles (and gobbles) to kickstart the weekend. Hilarious. Thanks
Timing with capturing these birds a delicate act by the photography as well, amazing clicks here watching the birds go by!

ENTER @WIN.HIVE'S DAILY DRAW AND WIN HIVE!
If one is lucky enough you'll get 1 really good picture out of 50.
I guess I got lucky.
Thank you for the LOLZ and LUZ
In flight always luck of the draw on the day, normally capture a clear blue sky the bird completely out of picture already 🙃
I got a good laugh from this one. I've got hundreds of pics of a blue sky.
Hand/Eye coordination perhaps, never blame the tool nor the fool using it 🙃
Keep the witty comments coming as laughing so early in the morning is a wonderful way to start the day!
These are teriffc shots, all of them, but the entry photo is outstanding. The cormorants are so funny when they dry themselves. 🙂
Thank you very much for your delightful post!
That picture was just a stroke of luck. I happened to have my camera out and was taking a few pictures of a some ducks that were swimming towards me. The Wood Stork flew in from behind me and touched down on the pond just 30 feet from where I was sitting. The darn bird touched down and just as I was getting ready to snap a picture it decided to take off. I had already focused in on him and as soon as he got airborne I was able to capture that shot. 😁
I've seen cormorants drying off in the sun and hold that position for 10 minutes or more. You would think they would get tired while striking that pose for so long.
Have a wonderful day and guess what comes after Friday, the weekend, hurray.
Lucky shots make my day, hope yours too. It is a wonderful feeling afterwards, isn't it?
Have a wonderful day too, my friend. And guess what - today is bank holiday here, yay the weekend is long. 😉
Look at those birds of different colours
Birds are so beautiful
The pictures are nice
I love them!
You've got that right, they are gorgeous, even if they are pure white or black.
Big wings everywhere 😀
!DHEDGE
Big wings sure are easier to capture than little wings which usually flutter so quickly they look like a blur when you take their picture.

This is such a display of nature at it's best. Just beautiful dear hubby. So happy you are moving forward with #hive. I need my confidence back,

You did it again and you also voted for this post on my sight, Oh well I just made another 0.06 cents.
Beautiful wings! I love the first image, not that I don't like the others. All the images are beautiful, but the first one is spectacular.
Have a wonderful day @thebigsweed
