Bird Weekly challenge is to post photos of birds with long wingspans. Our larger birds have flown south for the winter, but the birds of prey remain, and of course, the Canada geese.

Fabulous pics for this week. Yes, they have flown here for the winter. We have plenty to go around of the birds of prey and the geese. It doesn’t hurt that we are in the Eastern migration zone. 🙂

These are great captures! As Deborah noted, the first looks quite majestic. The second highlights the patterns of the feathers. The third one is striking sillouettes. Well done!

Oh to be able to soar! I suppose being in a hang glider or a squirrel suit might give you that feeling! I’m not brave enough for either! lol

  I’m not brave either, but the idea appeals always.

  I think I’d try a hang glider before I risked life and limb in a squirrel suit!

I’ve lived the fog of distance –life’s highway a series of hillsdestination without promise Have learned that acceptance gains perspective,that climates change, and hope sustains,and that in stillness dreams renew. Now I travel quieter paths, appreciatespace, have surrendered to a slower pace –certain that this too will change. (image my own)
