Birds are dinosaurs, Irene.
Why they survived the K/T extinction when no non-avian dinosaurs did remains a mystery. Specially since the crocodilians survived.

Flying crocodiles ... ?
BTW, it appears that another asteroid strike from the same time has been discovered in the North Sea by an oil company. Perhaps the asteroid calved?

Thank goodness the crocs lost their wings. Barbecues would be a real pain in the butt if they could just swoop in and swallow all the brisket.Flying crocodiles ... ?

From September last year, one of a pair of kestrels that I spotted a lot over the summer, believe they were a mating pair
Am lucky to have some power lines running about level with my home office in the attic, which provide a popular perch for local birds - having them just a head turn away means they're good for bird spotting, bad for staying on task

This is a salvage job. This crow crashed the cornbread party and parked in the shade with a bright sunny background. I did some serious shadow lifting to get anything out of the body of the bird. There was a glimmer of reflected sun on it's face and feet, so that helped. I'm frankly surprised to have retrieved the detail I did from a jpeg with freeware.

Am in Bend, Oregon, visiting an old friend who is a serious birder. He took me on a walk around some of the local large sewage ponds which are year-round homes to a number of waterfowl. Saw a lot of birds...
Including coots--
Here, a northern shoveler and a coot--
A pair (male and female) of shovelers--
A bird I hadn't seen before, a blue-billed ruddy duck--
And saving the best for the last, a handful of female shovelers in flight--
One final bonus shot - some bird had seated itself atop this small tree, to do preening and ablutions... and it left a smattering of soft fluffy tiny feathers in the branches of the tree--

WARNING! Photo overload!
Spent about two hours in my backyard 'hide' today. Was hoping to catch the Cardinal but no dice. Almost everyone else showed up though.

Evidently, Starlings weren't made for hanging on to vertical surfaces while feeding. One will get a hold every once in a while, but it's usually chaos with bark butter flying while they try to get their beaks on the prize!

Fantastic day! I really like the chickadee in flight.
Thanks! Not being a BIF shooter that and the Starling wreaking havoc on the bark butter made me pretty happy.
