I certainly hope you work for National Geographic. Masterful as always, Klaus… blown away… without any tropical action.
Mr. Linky needs a reset.
Thanks, Klaus, for fixing Mr. Linky. Wow, these pics… whew.
I am speechless in front of these photos!
Klaus, absolutely amazing. I’m so glad I stopped to visit and got to see these photos.

Your photos always leave me breathless — and these are no exception! What incredible birds! Thanks for kicking Mr. Linky’s butt! Have a great weekend, Klaus!
An I want to see more beautiful birds! You always have amazing photos. Thank you for taking care of SWF, it is always a pleasure!
The elder statesman looks like he’s got a lot to think about. All great shots.
The two owls on the top reminded me of two elder women with headscarfs…
wonderful captures…the double portrait is perfection.

A very lovely way to show the skies! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Klaus, great pic here, as always my friend.
Just thought I would pop in to see how you all Sky Watchers are doing.lol.
Have a nice week-end.
Awesome! I have scrolled back and forth several times and just soaked in the beauty of these photos! Utterly gorgeous! (Running out of superlatives!)
Goegeous birds! They are fascinating, however, I seldom see them here in our part of Maryland.
Amazing.

Absolutely fantastic bird photos! The woodstork is very interesting (we don’t have storks here), especially the throat. Happy SWF!
Amazing creatures. Excellent!
The double portrait is like live metal sculptures, were they wet or molting? Love the all seeing all knowing eye of the elder statesman as well as the totally unflightworthy looking stork.
Fantastic photos…as always!
Beautiful Klaus! The close ups are spectacular!
Just stunning Klaus, I also love the Magnolia bloom too.
Wow…looks like you painted the center of that flower. The content/contrast are just lovely!
Awesome shots… your usual greatness.
Wonderful owl shots! Love that pair.
