Birds taking flight... Pássaros levantando voo...










 
Ducks and herons gathering at the beach and taking flight on Jurumirim Dam, near my house.
Patos e garças se reunindo na praia e levantando voo na Represa Jurumirim, perto de casa.

  1. I love it - the variety of black and white birds makes it even better. I'd love to spend a day on the beach.

  7. What a sight! And the first two photos -- so funny; they're lined up on the shore like they're watching a sporting event. Which, come to think of it, they are.

  8. Sonia, dear friend, how lovely that you called by! with such sweet comments.
    You and Carlos have done a beautiful job capturing the birds at the dam. Bird photography can be quite difficult and sometimes one needs lots of patience to get the shot! Your camera captures movement very well. Mine doesn't!
    Take care of you and yours dear Sonia
    Much love
    Rose

  9. Do these birds stay at the dam all year? Or do they fly to warmer weather during your winters?

  15. The birds are beautiful! Can't help it, Sonia, but my eye's always attracted to the landscape. And the landscapes alone are stunning.
