Indigo bunting - female (Passerina cyanea)
W. Kentucky, USA - 9/15/2018
1/100 sec - f/8.0 - ISO 250

Interesting Tidbit: Indigo Buntings have no blue pigment; they are actually black,
but the diffraction of light through the structure of the feathers makes the male
appear blue. These attractive birds are also found in rural roadside thickets and
along the right-of-way of railroads, where woodlands meet open areas. They are
beneficial to farmers and fruit growers, consuming many insect pests and weed seeds.

It is very difficult to just walk up on a Kestrel and get close enough to get any kind of decent image without being very LUCKY and/or shooting from a blind or car and being very careful.


You can get closer in a car and stop if they are looking into the sun.

They have solid bones so they can dive deep but takes them a long time running on the water to gain speed so they can to take off. In other words they need a long runway. They also spear other loons from below if they try to invade their territory. An expert can tell the male from the female but I'm no expert.

Reminds me of the advice I read as to how to protect against shark attack while in the ocean. I read that one is supposed to strike the shark sharply with a blunt object preferably something other than your hand (!) [Am I supposed to carry a mallet with me whenever I swim in the ocean??] Seems to me you have to believe you are fast enough to grab the skunk by the tail and lift him up before he reacts. I'll stick with avoiding them as much as possible.

Skunks do not run very fast.

Pick up the skunk by the tail. They need both hind feet on the ground to spray.

Very nice shots, been there many times. Where you on the road where you can take a picture of Washington from the side? Did you go to Deadwood and Hill City? Many things to see there. Did you drive the needles road?
