The Friendly Skies
Isn’t it amazing that birds are able to fly? They can go aloft and then soar up in the sky, defying gravity using nothing but their own power. Of course Nature has provided them with a light weight body and extremities built for creating a force to generate lift.
Those creatures are the product of millions of year of evolution, since they are descendants of dinosaurs.
Birds never cease to amaze me! I just have to look up to the sky and sooner or later you’ll see a bird flying by going somewhere. Flying the friendly skies.
Next, are some photos to show these amazing creatures. Enjoy!

Awesome images HJ!
Thanks MD! 🙂
Nice pictures. Love the ones with the gulls mouth open, like screeching! Some time ago I posted this “observation” about these amazing birds:http://mvschulze.wordpress.com/2013/07/02/pondering-the-common-gull-another-thought/
That’s exactly what this gull was doing, I guess it was hungry. You should see when the trawlers bring their load of fish or shrimp. Hundreds of these birds screech at once! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Beautiful birds by the sea!
All except the Cooper’s Hawk I shot from my window! Thanks Carmen! 🙂
