@C_A_Harvey @UCDavisCOE I would never have imagined that a “funny photo” would end up being really funny! 😂🤡

Building the school for our feathered teachers will take some time, but their lectures on #flight #maneuvering are to start pretty soon… Very excited to see where this knowledge takes us! 🪶📖

As if simply staying aloft was not enough spectacle... 😲↪️⤵️

Did you know eagles practice the art of midair ballet? Nah, they are just really good at being flying dinosaurs.

When you have some knowledge about wakes and hydrodynamics… 🐬🏄🏻‍♂️🌊

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

This is called wake-riding and this orca is very likely doing it for fun. It's literally surfing — it can go very fast with very little effort when riding in the wake of a boat like this

Just a year ago I was lucky enough to attend a courtship of #swans in the front row, at the shore of Lake Geneva. Love is in the lake! 🦆🥰 #birding #lake #love #spring

Crazy Osprey shakes off like a wet dog in slow motion flying right at the camera. #bird #wildlife

[Alfonso Martínez @afsmtnz]

@hugoraphy Very brave of you @hugoraphy and certainly inspiring. Light always makes it way through the darkness! It reminds me of this photograph👇🏼, which I titled “Drop of #hope”. May you continue to enjoy photography for a lifetime!!

Did the murmuration get the big bird to flap its wings??? 🤔

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Photographer Daniel Biber from Hilzingen, Germany was trying to capture the murmuration of starlings for 4 days when he finally succeeded: he didn't realize the starlings had created a giant bird in the sky until he got home and reviewed the pictures https://t.co/flXPdYUaXJ
