Horned lark on top of the corn stalk, just next to a glittering piece of ice. Today, this frozen field has just turned into a expanse of mud...

Emu and Ostrich, from the local town fair. They were roaming loose in arena after the races.

Boy Luckshot, what handsome creatures. Wouldn't you love to meet one in an alley at night!

And just for Alan - another tit. This is Tommy Tit the Chickadee from last year when that's practically all there was to shoot. Just boring kitchen reno work for me for now.

Indigo-banded kingfisher (Ceyx cyanopectus) by alabang, on Flickr

The indigo-banded kingfisher (Ceyx cyanopectus) is a species of bird in the family Alcedinidae. It is endemic to the Philippines, where it is a generally uncommon but locally common resident of the northern and central islands. There are two subspecies, the nominate race, which occurs on Luzon, Polillo, Mindoro, Sibuyan and Ticao, and C. c. nigriostris, which is found in Panay, Negros and Cebu. It forms a superspecies with the southern silvery kingfisher of the southern Philippines.

Arizona! The area has a history with ostriches. Needed to supply the western US with hat feathers and dusters back in 1900s. Now it’s a yearly festival.

Great shot. Well done Paolo.

Eurasian tree sparrow. I took this picture today with my 7D MII and 400mm f/5.6. Considering the age of the lens it is still capable to produce surprisingly high resolution images even when the desired composition requires heavy cropping like in this case.
