Taking off... or landing?

©2015 Henry S. Winokur Ducks are the only birds that take off and land slowly enough so one can actually see how related they and airplanes are... Tidal Basin, Washington, DC

Pink Summer Sky

Pink Summer Sky is the name of the dog. She is known as "Summy". I was in in Glacier National Park (NP) with her and her human parents. ©2019 Henry S. Winokur

Bruce

Bruce is a real retriever. He'll chase just about anything that is thrown, dropped, kicked or somehow sent in his direction--and bring it back to do it again...and again...and again. HE won't tire of the game. But you will! He lives in Lanark. ©2019 Henry S. Winokur

Bird on a fence

I shot this bird walking along the top rail of a fence that surrounds the parking lot of Lord & Taylor just inside the DC at Western AVE NW. ©2020 Henry S. Winokur

Rats of the sky...in flight

Canadian Geese are known as the "rats of the sky". I was able to catch these 3 in flight. I was hoping they were headed back to Canada, but somehow I doubt it. There are lots of them at Huntley Meadows County Park, in SW Alexandria, VA., taken in December. ©2020 Henry S. Winokur

Cooper's Hawk

Warren's Snipe

I'm not much of a bird watcher, though I am told this Warren's Snipe is not common around the DC area. This one was shot at Huntley Meadows County Park, in SW Alexandria, VA., in December. As you can see--or not--the camoflage makes this bird particularly difficult to see when he's in his element. ©2020 Henry S. Winokur

Dragon Fly

Out of boredom and lack of travel, I made a arrive-at-opening "trip" to DC's Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in July and caught this dragon fly on a stick. ©2021 Henry S. Winokur

Great Blue

Heron, of course. Photographed at Huntley Meadows in south Alexandria. ©2021 Henry S. Winokur

Take-off

Taken in Georgetown, DC as the duck took off from the Potomac River. ©2022 Henry S. Winokur
