Graceful Willet in the Flats

The willet (Tringa semipalmata) effortlessly camouflages with the low tide mudflats at Gulfport, Mississippi, making it nearly imperceptible were it not for the tidal pool. Interestingly, its reflection in the still water offers a clearer, albeit slightly distorted, view of the bird.

I don't always take great photographs, but when I do, you can find them at:

"The image captures a willet (Tringa semipalmata) stepping gracefully through a tidal pool during low tide. Its slender body is supported by long, dark legs that slightly sink into the still water. The bird's plumage is a mix of mottled browns and grays, blending harmoniously with its surroundings. Its slightly curved bill is poised forward, likely searching for food. The tidal pool reflects a mirrored image of the willet, adding depth and calmness to the composition. In the background, expansive mudflats stretch out, textured with rippled patterns from the receding tide, creating a serene coastal environment. The rising sun casts a soft, warm light across the scene, enhancing the earthy tones of the mudflats and the bird's subtle coloration." - Copilot with edits

Swede’s Photographs

Clash of the Plumage

While Charlie and I sat out back this morning, I watched these two rock pigeons (Columba livia) duke it out around the corner of a bird feeder. The bird on the right, with its left side toward the camera, eventually yielded the bird feeder and hopped to the ground.

I've read that pigeons are sexually dimorphic, but I have trouble telling the sexes apart. Nevertheless, I believe these two are males.

If you're a fan of stunning dove imagery, be sure to explore my photo gallery for a collection of beautiful snapshots that capture their elegance and charm.

"The image portrays two pigeons locked in an apparent squabble around the corner of a rustic bird feeder. The feeder, with its simple wooden structure and slanted roof, serves as the battleground for these feathered adversaries. On the left side, one pigeon stands on the edge of the feeder, facing the other with a sharp, assertive posture. Its iridescent plumage shimmers with hues of green, purple, and blue, adding a vivid contrast to its surroundings. On the right side, the second pigeon perches firmly on the feeder's platform, responding to the other’s stance with equal intensity. Both birds have striking red feet, lending a splash of color to the scene. Behind them, the background is softly blurred, keeping the focus entirely on this feisty encounter." - Copilot
