Here's another installment in my White-tailed Kite story. So, there has been plenty of nest building. Remember, work work work. Make a little love, eat, gather nest material, fend off intruders. The story is getting more variety now. Here, the two would-be parents seem to be discussing what to do with the mousie catch the male on the left has just brought in. Usually, it's carried and exchanged via talon but this starts out where they both have a beak on it. Shortly though, she takes it, gets a talon grip, and flies off to where the hidden nest is in the next tree over. Starting to think there may be more mouths to feed.

end of the day

W10 with the Lehigh Valley heritage unit leading crawls through CP LINDEN after cresting the grade of Attica Hill on September 24, 2018 at Linden, NY. The train had a difficult time getting to anything more than 30mph, even with a DPU unit. Not a surprise considering that it was reportedly 22,000 tons. The slower speed allowed for many more photo opportunities than would have been possible if it had made track speed of 50mph.

Most of the Autumn leaves are gone now so I was happy to get a couple shots of this Owl in this setting.

NS train W10 slogs along at about 25mph with a huge train, passing through Cameron Mills, NY on September 24, 2018. The slow speed allowed for many photo opportunities to get the LV heritage unit.

Norfolk Southern’s Lehigh Valley heritage unit, NS 8104, leads NS 65K west at Vickers Junction in Northwood, OH.

The Lehigh Valley heritage unit leads W10 at Rock Glen, NY on September 24, 2018. Some old code line was still hanging along the ROW.

There used to be a nice view of trains climbing through the Ess curve on Attica Hill from the parallel Spring Road. Alas that view is totally grown in save for this small opening. The train was moving so slow I figured it was worth stopping and taking a photo of lead unit LV 8104 on train W10 on September 24, 2018.
