A Steller’s Sea Eagle (Riesenseeadler) at the Heidelberg Zoo in Germany, during feeding time.

Getting so close can offer fascinating details, in this case the layering of the breast feathers forming a geometrical line of darts.

The weathervanes around here are getting fancier and fancier.

I found this bird in the German city of Ulm. Sparrows are the mascots of the city and are in evidence all over town but this one – El Comandante gorrión – perfect with the Cuban cigar in his beak “takes the bird” (the English expression “to take the cake” translates as “to shoot down the bird” in German which I found quite appropriate in the circumstance). I should add that all the other sparrows carry sticks to build a nest rather than cigars.

Here is my animal selection:
