Since Stephen Barnard sent his recent batch of photos to me in one dollop, and I posted half of them yesterday, here is the other batch; Stephen’s notes are indented:
The second batch is a mixed bag. First, a couple of duck mated pairs: Cinnamon Teals (Anas cyanoptera) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera).
The next three are a mated pair of Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis). The male is performing a courting ritual, which involves among other things throwing stuff in the air.
Next, a couple of d*g (Canis lupus familiaris) photos. I usually take Deets and Hitch along when I fish on my place. Hitch is very interested when I manage to catch something (a Brown Trout in this case).
Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) warming up in the morning sun.
Finally, a sunset.
I love these pictures. Talent!
A great set of pictures (as usual) Stephen!
quite amazing photographs. brilliant sunset. nothing more satisfying https://noelliesplace.com/2019/02/25/sunset-junkie/
I love the cranes.
Hitch is clearly licking his lips thinking about consuming that trout.
Fine set. My favorite is the TVs.
Beautiful images. Thanks for sharing them all

With all due respect Sandhill cranes, y’all do make a rather annoying racket sometimes. Anyone who hadn’t heard you before would think someone was playing some type of weird annoying percussion instrument or something. Although you are quite magnificent creatures so don’t get me wrong Sandhill cranes.
