So much like other herons, but I really love the wild 'hair' of these ones

Agreed, their long neck feathers remind me of the long hair on a horse's mane, how it whips around in the wind.

Awesome capture of that majestic Flamingo Kirk. Happy trails.

Thank you, Paul. I've went to see them three times now and those are the best shots to date. The flamingos being relocated by the hurricane is probably a once in a lifetime event so I'm very glad I got the shots. Saved me from having to drive hundreds of miles to south Florida to see them in the wild.

Unknown Duck. I can't seem to find a definitive ID on this guy. The yellow eyes aren't matching anything I look for.

I'm no expert on bird ID but of all the ducks with yellow eyes, the best I can tell is MAYBE it's a female goldeneye duck. GL with that one!

What month and where was it taken?

A flamingo from this morning. I had an extra good time with a couple of Karens yelling at me to move back, that I wasn't allowed within 300 feet of the birds. I thought to myself, that's a football fields length away, ha! I politely told them they were only 100 feet away themselves and I walked away.

Two great shots!

Time waits for no one!
