One of several taking off from Wintergreen Lake, WK Kellogg Bird Sanctuary, near Gull Lake, Michigan.

Another pic from Sunday's excursion to the Maple River State Game Area. Once again the ISO's too high, but it's less obtrusive. Just wanted to mention that our feet got wet; there are several places where the water's overflowed the levees.

With the Great Lakes ship American Integrity for a background. Duluth-Superior Harbor; Integrity was loading at Midwest Energy Terminal. Best LARGE , of course.

Gonna bury you in birds this morning! The light was gorgeous a year ago, and I gave my cameras a workout. For 300 Snaps I tried to get a bird-in-flight photo--which means I kept snapping until the bird moved , over and over. This pic worked out nicely. So did the 366 Snaps photo. And, just incidentally, I got a bunch of good songbird portraits. Including another of this bird . ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . Number of project photos taken: 197 Title of " roll :" Birds, mostly [wasn't that yesterday's title?] Other photos taken on 5/17/2012: The "daily flower census" mostly consisted of bird photos ( here's one ), but showed a garden coming into its glory with Spirea (of course), Iris, Painted Daisies, Snow on the Mountain's spindly flowers, and the Columbine. Joan and I went out for supper. We returned to a neighborhood littered with emergency vehicles .
