Kansas City Southern ES44AC #4765 leads this Eastbound Union Pacific loaded coal train through De Beque Canyon and alongside the Colorado River at Tunnel Siding.
It originated at the W. Elk Mine located at the end of the N. Fork Branch and is heading to a transload facility at Cora, IL.
I thought this was a kind of cool image of this Mandarin Duck pair. The female is delicately beautiful in her own right; she is pretty monochrome compared to her magnificent mate, but that seems to be particularly accentuated here by the early morning light (and not light) at this local park pond.
Mandarin Duck is a non-native species but they have shown up occasionally in SoCal.

All of todays 6 uploads have been edited with the ChatGPT editor, what a difference it achieves I started out with poor images that I would not usually of uploaded, the results I achieved amazed me the difference AI can make, I don't think it is an experiment I will be doing again I am a bit of an old dinosaur with Tech but even I found it really easy, but I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the use of AI editing......

Jackdaw
Scientific name
Corvus monedula
Jackdaws are the most common of all the crows in the UK. They are the smallest of the crow family in the UK and are easy to identify with their shiny-black and silver-grey plumage and pale grey eye. They nest in holes in trees, open woodland, cliffs or even buildings, and they will form very large flocks which fly and move around a lot when they are not nesting. While they prefer open countryside, they are often seen nesting in the warmth of urban chimneys.
