Once again I haven't taken any bird photos this week and am relying on my archives. The first two were taken on road trips.
Both taken in Florida a couple of years ago, an Egret and a Cormorant.
And another little thing with wings, a Skipper taken closer to home.
For the following as they become available, with my thanks to all our hosts Eileen, Misty, Anni and Stewart. You can on the memes below to visit other participants.

Hey, that is what archives are for. That cormorant is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! It looks like you are standing right beside these birds!! So beautiful, and great detail. I have never ever seen a skipper this color! But the eyes give it away. The ones here all seem to be brown.
ReplyDeleteI see your Cormorants have blue eyes - as do ours.
ReplyDeleteYour archives are a rich place.
so beautiful. I love ost the first one
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of birds.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful birds as is also the butterfly. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteLoved the close-up of the Cormorant.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, looks like what we call the Great White Egret, has the yellow bill. The Cormorant is a wonderful image, ours seem to have an eye more on the green side and love the Skipper. Have a good weekend Regards John
