Wonderful series Lance! Covid and health issues kept me in last year. We have pair of peregrines nesting on our local headland. Many visits have not resulted in a single capture so I am in awe of these. VERY well done.

Thank you very much, Neil. much appreciated!

I'm partial to Vermilion Flycatchers. They're confident, fun to watch and beautiful. There is "something" about red birds and wing fans!View attachment 52867View attachment 52868

Love both of them but # 2 is my favorite. The red heads really pop!

Brown Pelican, Potrero, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Dec 31, 2022.



During a dive, the Brown Pelican tucks its head and rotates its body to the left. This maneuver is probably to cushion the trachea and esophagus—which are found on the right side of the neck—from the impact. ~ https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brown_Pelican
