A Bevy of Birds


Anhinga drying in the sun- striking a statue of liberty pose.


Turkey Vulture with ruffled feathers caught off guard- surprise!


Common Moorhen in winter plumage peacefully strolling the marshes until I happened by-

I don't think I have ever seen a common moorhen in winter dress!

I wish I could take nature photos as good as these.

Great photos Pam! I saw a cormorant drying his wings the other day on a rock, but couldn't stop to take a photo of it.

Wonderful selection of shots. The Anhinga drying its wings is cool. And I love the cute Moorhen! Great shots!

Super shots of nature. Birds are hard to photograph.

Anni said...

I haven't heard them named/called Moorhen - around here they're Gallinule. Guess they're both the same species, right?

Jackie said...

I have never seen a Turkey Vulture on the ground like that. All of these are just super shots.

I can't pick a favorite. Happy weekend!:-)

SO beautiful, love the drying bird... but the turkey vulture, it's hard to love that look isn't it? Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #67!

Beautiful series of photos! But especially impressive is the artistic shape of those spread wings in the first photo!

Mary said...

You take such wonderful photos. I love them all. But i must admit, the Anhinga is my fav in this series. He's so dignified and composed. :)

Wally Jones said...

Very nice images, Pam! Poor vultures get no respect!

Three lovely birds. I remember the Anhinga from our last trip to Florida several years ago now. New to me then I thought it was amazing!

Jen said...

Those anhingas are amazing. Great shot.

These are great! I love seeing the stretchy anhingas! And I would never have known that the moorhen looked like that in winter plumage. (Now all I have to do is see one in real!)
