I have NEVER got a darner in flight! Love this one!
I love dragons! Great shot!
Downy Woodpecker, male, (red patch on the head).
My favorite insect. Nice job.
OK! Look forward to the new category. Thanks for following too!
umm. OK? When the new category is ready will you(PN team) change it or will I have to change it to marine?
The nest is actually up about 100' and I was on roof of my vehicle using a 200mm lens to get this. I work at this park and the owl is used to seeing me. Only employees are allowed to drive in this area of the park(the park is about 900 acres and 600+ of it are closed to vehicles). I think, would like to believe, that the owl does not see me as a threat. But it does look like I'm getting the stink eye! :~)
Thanks! I got lucky as I took this with my IPhone. It was low tide and it came out from the rocks right in front of me.
