Birds aloft!
There’s nothing quite like watching a bird take to the air—wings catching light, bodies lifted by something equal parts physics and poetry. Flight is what sets birds apart, a feat of evolution that fills us with wonder as we look on from below. Capturing that motion in a still frame is both a challenge and a thrill: a flash of movement, a blur of feathers, and, sometimes, the perfect moment suspended in time. This gallery is a tribute to those powerful airborne instants, captured at some of our favorite birding sites throughout the Bay Area.
