Canada Geese (Branta canadensis), Andrew Haydon Park, Ottawa
A Canada goose faces forward directly toward the camera while standing in shallow water as it stretches its wings wide in a dramatic, symmetrical pose. The bird's signature black head and white cheek patch are visible at the top center, positioned just above its arched, dark primary feathers. The motion creates a spray of water droplets around its body, contrasting with the shimmering, sunlit green and blue water in the background.

A great blue heron stretches its long legs and wings, one side at a time, while perching at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado.

In this horizontal color photograph, a great blue heron stands on a branch jutting from a submerged tree just below the center of the frame. Balancing on its left leg in left profile, the heron extends its right leg and wing in a seemingly coordinated stretch. Its neck and head are tucked inward, with its head facing downward as it relaxes on the branch.

The entire scene is surrounded by pond water. The upper portion of the frame is golden, reflecting the opposite shoreline, with its clay-colored banks and vegetation. The lower two-thirds of the image are filled with evenly rippled water reflecting the brilliant blue sky overhead.

A beautiful moment of a great blue heron relaxing and stretching in the wetland habitat so vital to its existence.

A turkey vulture yawns while perched on a dead snag near St. Vrain Creek in Longmont, Colorado.

In this vertical color photograph, a turkey vulture fills the frame, facing the camera with its head turned to its left, revealing its right profile. Its beak is wide open, with its tongue extending outward, almost as if it were singing a song. The behavior may be a yawn or stretch, or perhaps a visual display of uneasiness or dominance. The vulture balances atop a dead branch that enters the frame from the lower right, travels across the image, and gradually tapers off.

The background is a brilliant blue sky, characteristic of Colorado’s 300-plus days of sunshine each year, providing a clean, striking backdrop that emphasizes the vulture’s dark plumage and distinctive bare head.

A beautiful and unexpected moment of a turkey vulture in the riparian habitat so vital to its survival.

In this horizontal color photograph, a great blue heron is seen in left profile while wading through shallow water. Its beak is slightly open as it pins a crappie with a precise strike just behind the fish's eyes. The heron's head is angled downward as it firmly secures its prey.

The surrounding water reflects the lush green trees lining the opposite shoreline, creating a natural backdrop that emphasizes the drama and fleeting nature of the moment.
