“We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.”

Caimans are calm. 90 percent of their lives, they are lazy in the Sun or still waiting to pounce. Crocodiles remain perfectly camouflaged, often spending hours in the water. Only the eyes and nose sticking out.

 

Caïmans sont calmes. 90 pour cent de leur vie, ils sont paresseux au soleil, ou encore en attente à bondir. Crocodiles restent parfaitement camouflés, souvent passer des heures dans l'eau. Seulement les yeux et le nez qui sort.

 

Kaimane sind die Ruhe selbst. 90 Prozent ihres Lebens liegen sie faul in der Sonne oder still auf der Lauer. Perfekt getarnt, verharren Krokodile oft stundenlang im Wasser. Nur Augen und Nase schauen heraus.

  

The ability of the camel to survive in desert conditions without water for long periods of time is rivalled by none. The many physiological adaptations the dromedary have even earned it the title "ship of the desert". Dromedaries can glean much of their needed water from desert vegetation, and can survive after losing over 40 percent of their body weight in water. When water is available, whether fresh or brackish (salty), camels drink well - up to 57 litres at a time.

1. During migration, 75 percent of the sandhill crane population can be found along a 75-mile stretch of the Platte River in Nebraska.

 

2. Sandhill crane offspring can be ready to leave the nest and even start swimming just eight hours after they hatch. Although the chicks are independently mobiles, they will stay with their parents up to 10 months after being born.

 

3. A female sandhill crane usually lays two pale-colored eggs with brown markings. She shares incubation duties with her mate for up to 32 days.

 

4. Both parents build a nest from cattails, sedges and grasses, but it’s unknown which parent chooses the nesting site. Nests can be up to 40 inches across and 6 inches high. (Read more: Meet the Best Bird Dads Around)

 

5. The oldest known sandhill crane fossil was found in the Macasphalt Shell Pit in Florida and is estimated to be 2.5 million years old.

 

6. Sandhill cranes mate for life and attract their partners via a courtship dance with moves like jumping into the air, bobbing their heads and stretching their wings to span up to 7 feet.

 

7. During migration, these cranes may travel more than 200 miles a day. They’re fast fliers, reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per hour.

 

8. Most of their diet (90 percent) is plant material, including waste grain, roots, berries, and nuts. Insects and snails are on the menu, too.

 

I found this one along Joe Ovestreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.

P1360816 - Indian Spot-billed Duck - Size - 58-63 cm

# 329 - 16 Oct '18 - 19:42 (14:12 GMT)

 

Indian Spot-billed Duck (Anas poecilorhyncha) - is a large dabbling duck that is a non-migratory breeding duck throughout freshwater wetlands in the Indian subcontinent. The name is derived from the red spot at the base of the bill that is found in the mainland Indian population.

 

Also known as - Spot-bill Duck, Spotted-billed Duck, Yellow-nib Duck...

WONDERFUL FACTS - Nearly three percent of the ice in Antarctic glaciers is penguin urine 🐬

Happy birding 🐾

A tiny percent of rain —and lack of wind—drew me outside to photograph wild daisies of some sort. Borrowed my husband's Nikkor 200mm macro/prime lens and rested it on the trusty monopod. On my knees shot.

 

I know, based on my husband’s reaction, that this will appear too shallow for many. Don’t worry; I don’t expect you to comment ;-)

  

Primate DNA is only five percent different from ours. Like us, they feel jealousy, envy, love, shame, grief, depression... They are very social beings, they are sensitive and each one has a different personality, according to the experts, as happens in humans. They develop tools for specific purposes, which involves reasoning, anticipating the future and acting with the tool. They adopt orphans, which demonstrates social bonds, empathy and altruism. They have self-awareness, cooperative problem-solving and learning by example and experience, so they have symbolic capacity and a culture of their own, which they pass on from one generation to the next. Chimpanzees even surpass humans in certain memory tasks. An ape at the age of two is able to do small sums and use tools, while a two year old does not even know how to do sums or reason the why of the tool. They give pets to their children and they even learn words in sign language, being able to establish a conversation with their caregiver. They are able to teach their offspring sign language so that they can communicate with their caregivers. And so on. And they share a very important trait with humans, a trait not found in any other animal... laughter.

 

This image is dedicated to Bobby. Bobby was a chimpanzee used for decades as a laboratory animal at the Coulston Foundation in Alamogordo, New Mexico. He was born in captivity and at a very young age participated in biomedical experiments. By the age of 19, he had been anaesthetised more than 250 times and biopsied as many times. His life was spent in solitude inside a tiny metal cage. His body was bruised and scarred. In a deeply depressed state, he was incessantly self-harming, a clear sign that he intended to end his life. In 2002 he was transferred to Save the Chimps, a chimpanzee sanctuary in Louisiana, USA. Dedicated to Jeannie. Jeannie was in the service of science for nine years. At the age of six, she began her career in the pharmaceutical laboratories of Merck, Sharpe and Dohme. Shortly afterwards she was donated to the Buckshire Corporation and ended up at LEMSIP, Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates in New York at the age of 22. During that time she participated in several invasive experimental protocols including repeated vaginal douching, multiple cervical, liver and lymph node biopsies. She was infected with HIV and hepatitis C, and participated in rhinovirus vaccination protocols. She was anaesthetised more than 200 times. She died at the age of 31 at the Fauna Foundation, Canada's only primate sanctuary. Dedicated to Newt. Newt was born in 1979 at LEMSIP. At the age of four months he was sold to the Southwest National Primate Research Center in San Antonio, Texas. Newt was HIV-positive and was widely exposed to hepatitis B virus. Before he was four years old, he began intermittently self-harming. In 2003 he had his canines removed. Newt's clinical reports indicated that he had bites and lacerations on his hands, fingers, thighs, arms, legs, wrists and scrotum. A psychiatric report determined that Newt was in a profound state of insanity and derangement. He was attempting to commit suicide and end his life. This image is dedicated to all primates who have suffered psychological and physical torture, deprivation of liberty, abominable experiments and death in scientific laboratories, pharmaceutical, automobile, cosmetic, aeronautical, aerospace multinationals... and dedicated especially to Bobby, Jeannie and Newt.

Silvio Rodríguez - Al final de este viaje / Al final de este viaje (1978)

 

We are the prehistory that will have the future. We are the remote annals of man. These years are the past of the sky. These years are a certain agility with which the sun draws you into the future. They are the truth or the end, they are god. We are left, those who can smile in the midst of death, in full light.

.....

PS: When I look into the eyes of an ape, all I see in them is sadness and eyes that ask me, why, why? And I can only lower my gaze to the ground, while I shed some tears and feel a deep shame... shame of being human... a "Homo stupidus".

BELLOW SEA LEVEL

 

26 percent of the country, which means "low lands" and is called "Nederland" in its own language, is one-fourth below sea level. The lowest point is minus seven meters. And again, only 50 percent of its territory is one meter or more above sea level. In other words, half of the Netherlands is sea-to-nose… 21 percent of its population of 17 million lives in regions below sea level. The highest point in the country is Vaalsberg, only 322 meters!

 

deniz seviyesinin altında

 

“Alçak topraklar” manasına gelen ve kendi dilinde “Nederland” olarak adlandırılan ülkenin yüzde 26’sı, yani dörtte biri deniz seviyesinin altında. En alçak noktası eksi yedi metrede. Ve yine topraklarının sadece yüzde 50’si deniz seviyesinden bir metre veya daha fazla yükseklikte. Yani Hollanda’nın yarısı denizle burun buruna… 17 milyonluk nüfusunun yüzde 21’i deniz seviyesinin altındaki bölgelerde yaşıyor. Ülkenin en yüksek noktası Vaalsberg ise sadece 322 metre!

This Cooper's Hawk and I looked at each other across my backyard while we pondered why the sparrows and finches were absent today :)

 

Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds.

 

Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.

 

A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.

For July in Oklahoma this is great, the humidity is low tonight, cloud cover is minimum, cool night, the horrid heat is coming next week but hey it will only be 60 days until fall from what it appears will be our first 100 degrees this summer, usually it has already happened a few times by now, but the rains come weekly so temps are low and humidity is high. The moon at 80.5 percent visible, funny when it gets to 50 percent then it is a quarter moon. I know it is the whole vs. the visible but strange nonetheless.

According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Rusty Blackbird is one of North America’s most rapidly declining species. The population has plunged an estimated 85-99 percent over the past forty years and scientists are completely puzzled as to what is the cause.

 

They are relatively uncommon denizens of wooded swamps, breeding in the boreal forest and wintering in the eastern U.S. In winter, they travel in small flocks and are identified by their distinctive rusty feather edges and pallid yellow eyes.

Ospreys such as this one are unique among North American raptors for their ability to dive into water to catch fish, which is their primary food source. And they are very good at it. "Over several studies, Ospreys caught fish on at least 1 in every 4 dives, with success rates sometimes as high as 70 percent," according to AllAboutBirds.org. This bird was photographed near the Fox River in Northern Illinois.

Darkness is settling over the town of Minturn, that sits at the foot of Tennessee Pass on Rio Grande’s Royal Gorge Route main line. Three EMD SD40T-2 Tunnel Motors used as helpers for trains on the arduous 3-percent grade up the pass, snooze near the small enginehouse in the yard on the evening of July 5, 1987.

The lens (without camera) fell from the tripod and the lens hood end bounced down, flipped, and then the camera mount end punched a hole in the wall.

 

This is a test shot. No curves or noise reduction, obviously. About a 40 percent crop from RAW/NEF.

 

Phew? Anyone else drop a long focal length lens?

Over one half (fifty-percent) of the crew of each ship participating in the races must consist of young people.

About an hour after sunset the orange glow of the sun is still visible over the Jordanelle Reservoir.

 

The 4.2% moon is 2 days old after the Great American Eclipse and this beautiful waxing crescent moon is setting over the Wasatch Mountains, the western edge of the Rocky Mountains

Vatnajökull (meaning Glacier of Lakes), also known as the Vatna Glacier, is the largest and most voluminous (3,100 km³) ice cap in Iceland, and one of the largest in area in Europe.

It is located in the south-east of the island, covering more than 8 percent of the country.

The average thickness of the ice is 400 m with a maximum thickness of 1,000 m.

Under the ice cap there are several volcanoes.

Vatnajökull has around 30 outlet glaciers flowing from the ice cap and one of them is the Fjallsjökull, flowing into the Fjallsárlòn (glacial lake).

 

Raabs an der Thaya is a municipality with 3,114 inhabitants in the Northern part of Waldviertel in Lower Austria, near the Austrian border with the Czech Republic. About 27.6 percent of the municipality is forested.

 

Raabs Castle was built in the last half of the 11th century.

A picture-book castle high above the Thaya River – the perfect excursion destination!

 

Raabs Castle (German: Burg Raabs), one of Austria’s oldest fortified stone castles, is enthroned high above the confluence of the Moravian Thaya with the Austrian Thaya. It sits atop sheer rock walls, towering over the town below. Standing on the castle terrace is like being on the bow of a ship sailing far into the past. What events might have transpired here, what tales can be found within these ancient walls?

Bartolomé Island

Galapagos

Ecuador

South America

 

The Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is a penguin endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is the only penguin that lives north of the equator in the wild. It can survive due to the cool temperatures resulting from the Humboldt Current and cool waters from great depths brought up by the Cromwell Current.

 

While ninety percent of the Galápagos penguins live among the western islands of Fernandina and Isabela, they also occur on Santiago, Bartolomé, northern Santa Cruz, and Floriana. The northern tip of Isabela crosses the equator, meaning that some Galápagos penguins live the northern hemisphere, the only penguins to do so.

 

The species is endangered, with an estimated population size of around 1,500 individuals in 2004, according to a survey by the Charles Darwin Research Station. The population underwent an alarming decline of over 70% in the 1980s but is slowly recovering. It is therefore the rarest penguin species (a status which is often falsely attributed to the yellow-eyed penguin).

 

Population levels are influenced by the effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, which reduces the availability of shoaling fish, leading to low reproduction or starvation. However, anthropogenic factors (e.g. oil pollution, fishing by-catch and competition) may be adding to the ongoing demise of this species. On Isabela Island, cats, dogs, and rats attack penguins and destroy their nests. When in the water, they are preyed upon by sharks, fur seals, and sea lions. – Wikipedia

Based on online information I think this is a short tailed weasel.

We first noticed it in the yard about 5 days ago, raing through the grass, up and down trees and bushes and burrowing around our little water feature.

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 27, 2022.

Mustela genus(?)

As nocturnal animals, weasels sleep during the day and are active at night. Most of a weasel's time awake consists of hunting, storing excess food and eating. Their bodies don't store fat, so they need a constant supply of food to provide enough energy. In fact, the least weasel eats 40 to 60 percent of its body weight every day, according to the Nature Conservancy.

Though weasels can dig their own burrows quite quickly, they sometimes take over other animals' burrows and make them their own. They have even been known to take over termite hills.

This is my attempt at photographing the Eclipse. I used a welding glass (I'm a welder) that I mounted on the lens. It was nice and sunny all morning and then, unfortunately the clouds rolled in just in time for the eclipse. There were times when it disappeared. Thankfully the clouds thinned a little to get the 90 percent for our area. From my backyard in Central Bucks PA. What a fantastic event it was even with the clouds.

My snack and dessert is the chip, dark chocolate, the bitter sweet chocolate that smooths out with coffee, Im not much for the floury sweets or manufactured just the basic chip. A boarder line macro to close up, still larger than actual. F/3.5 at 1/100, basic jpeg no touch up or cropping. Center focused.

I've been sitting on this picture for quite some time but keep feeling drawn back to it. This is straight off my Sony. It was a RAW image I had to convert to jpg. I didn't do any edits at all to it. This is from my first ever visit to Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife in New Jersey back in September. I was in awe of the juxtaposition of being in the middle of this amazing, quiet and vast wetland, while, across the way, the Atlantic City skyline was waving back. The moody weather and clouds added to the wonderment of the day.

 

Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge protects more than 48,000 acres of southern New Jersey coastal habitats. More than 82 percent of Forsythe refuge is wetlands, of which 78 percent is salt marsh, interspersed with shallow coves and bays. The refuge’s location in one of the Atlantic Flyway’s most active flight paths makes it an important link in seasonal bird migration.

Bodie is a former gold mining town east of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and north of Mono Lake in California. It once had a population of about 10,000. Only about 5 percent of the town remains. It became a California State Historic Park in 1962 and is maintained in a state of "arrested decay." October is often a good time to visit Bodie, but be aware that Bodie is very remote, the weather can turn stormy in short order, and there are no services in the area.

The Importance of Farmland in Cornwall

More than 70% of Cornwall’s land is dedicated to agriculture, making it a vital part of the region’s economy and ecosystem. The fertile soil and favorable climate allow for the cultivation of a wide variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and cereals. Additionally, Cornwall is known for its dairy farming, producing high-quality milk and cheese.

 

The abundance of farmland in Cornwall not only provides us with nutritious food but also contributes to the preservation of the region’s natural resources. Sustainable farming practices, such as organic farming and agroforestry, can help enhance soil quality, reduce pollution, and support wildlife habitats. By working collaboratively with farmers, we can ensure that nature thrives alongside agricultural activities.

 

Exploring Cornwall’s Agricultural Landscape

Cornwall is home to expansive farmlands, with picturesque countryside vistas that attract visitors from around the world. The largest county in the South West, Devon, has around 72.4 percent of its land dedicated to commercial farm holdings, with a majority of it consisting of grasslands. This creates a lush and vibrant landscape that adds to Cornwall’s allure as a tourism hotspot.

Not 100 percent sure this grain elevator is abandoned (as the title say), but f@xk it, I'm gonna go for it anyway.
