    This White banded Kingfisher was fishing in a nearby pond when after multiple tries I got this shot. Front and side lit with pleasing details of the wings. Left space in the direction of flight and positioned picture in the  left upper third of the frame. Wish I didn't have the cluttered wooded background but it shows its habitat.8EC407DD-9B44-439F-BEFC-5C4DAE1E0A52_1_201_a

    Tried to take pictures of backlit Seagulls and this is the best I could come up with. The eye could have been sharper. Its so hard to focus and get a sharp image-practicing, 4586AFF0-4576-4099-B7A5-44ED3B3B7A88_1_201_apracticing and practicing.

    DISAPPOINTING PICTURE?? From my balcony in St. Thomas I was taking pictures of  pelicans fishing. These two pelicans decided to rest on a narrow sandy patch. It was one of the pictures that escaped my attention from being deleted. When I looked closely, on the sandy patch are pieces of  orange ropes and bluish fishing nets-human waste materials discarded  probably by fisherman somewhere in the ocean and deposited near shore by recent hurricane, I was told. Massive quantities of plastic and subsequent microplastics are floating in oceans across the world and slowly entering food chain of marine and avian life with disastrous consequences! It is already entering into bodies of human beings  with grave tidings for coming generations unless we act urgently on it.   CE246F0D-E975-4AFC-9E88-8575A64AF5B5_1_201_a Melissa Groo"s tutorial reminded me to look at this uninteresting photo differently.

    CONFLICT BETWEEN DIFFERENT BIRD SPECIES As I was walking along a trail I heard buzzing  of a Red wing black bird repeatedly swooping towards a Great Blue Heron. Quickly took a shot. It turned out to be interesting situation. Red wing black bird are very territorial and daring and was harassing the Blue Heron.The Heron was quite fizzled by it; was in high alert , the bristles of feather stood up all over its body. Back light gave a dramatic effect to feathers. The surrounding grass blades matched the feathers to heighten the effect . F3746941-4695-47EE-99E6-05A061173033_1_201_a
