La pastora de Ipiñaburu (Zeanuri) Puy Arrieta y esposa del pastor Jon Etxebarria volvió a subir con su rebaño a las verdes campas de Aldaminazpi, en Gorbeia. Será en esos parajes donde residirá el rebaño hasta finales de octubre, siguiendo la tradición de la trashumancia, que esta pareja mantiene viva en el valle desde hace unos cuantos años. Aprovechando la circunstancia, el grupo Ipiñaburuko Artzain Taldea ha vuelto a organizar una excursión para acompañar a la pastora hasta la residencia de verano de este rebaño numeroso. La comitiva partió a las 9.00 horas desde la cuadra de Ipiñaburu para al de unas horas llegar a Aldaminazpi.
Tres horas más tarde, pasado el mediodía, la expedición encabezada por las ovejas habrá llegado a las campas de Aldaminazpi. Será tiempo para comer un hamaiketako después de una mañana pasada por un sirimiri constante. La comitiva estuvo formada por jóvenes y adultos que disfrutaron de una mañana excelente en un lugar de encanto como es el parque natural de Gorbeia.

An adult White-Crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) in breeding plumage on the Cave Creek Ranch in Cave Creek Canyon near Portal, Arizona, U.S.A.
This was on a trip we took on our first venture on a winter holiday into the United States with the focus on Arizona.

Pelicans are a genus of large water birds that make up the family Pelecanidae. They are characterised by a long beak and a large throat pouch used for catching prey and draining water from the scooped-up contents before swallowing. They have predominantly pale plumage, the exceptions being the brown and Peruvian pelicans. The bills, pouches, and bare facial skin of all species become brightly coloured before the breeding season. The eight living pelican species have a patchy global distribution, ranging latitudinally from the tropics to the temperate zone, though they are absent from interior South America and from polar regions and the open ocean. Pelicans frequent inland and coastal waters, where they feed principally on fish, catching them at or near the water surface. They are gregarious birds, travelling in flocks, hunting cooperatively, and breeding colonially. Four white-plumaged species tend to nest on the ground, and four brown or grey-plumaged species nest mainly in trees. The relationship between pelicans and people has often been contentious. The birds have been persecuted because of their perceived competition with commercial and recreational fishing. Their populations have fallen through habitat destruction, disturbance, and environmental pollution, and three species are of conservation concern. They also have a long history of cultural significance in mythology, and in Christian and heraldic iconography. 61272

L'espèce est dimorphique.
La femelle adulte est globalement plus uniforme. Elle est dépourvue de la couleur grise caractéristique du mâle. Seule la queue des femelles âgées peut grisonner. Les parties supérieures sont chamois-roux, du bec à la queue, et plus abondamment tachetées. Les rémiges sont moins sombres. La barre sombre sous l'œil est moins marquée mais les couvertures auriculaires plus pâles la mettent quand même bien en évidence. La queue est nettement barrée de brun sur toute sa longueur, avec une barre terminale plus importante.
Le mâle pèse environ 200g et est plus petit que la femelle, qui pèse environ 240g.

The East African Eland, a sub-species of the Common Eland, is a savannah and plains antelope found in East and Southern Africa. It is a species of the family Bovidae and genus Taurotragus. An adult male is around 1.6 metres tall at the shoulder (females are 20 centimetres shorter) and can weigh up to 942 kg. It is the second largest antelope in the world, being slightly smaller on average than the giant eland.
Mainly an herbivore, its diet is primarily grasses and leaves. Common elands form herds of up to 500 animals, but are not territorial. The common eland prefers habitats with a wide variety of flowering plants such as savannah, woodlands, and open and montane grasslands; it avoids dense forests.
The Common Eland is used by humans for leather, meat and milk, and has been domesticated in many areas. Eland milk contains much more butterfat than cow milk, and can keep much longer without pasteurising.

A Northern Plains Red Fox (Vulpes fulva) pup sits at the edge of its den awaiting the return of one of the adults with some food for it and its siblings. The den was located in a pasture on the edge of the boreal woods north of Thorhild, Alberta Canada.

L'échasse blanche a le plumage noir et blanc avec les ailes entièrement noires, ainsi que le haut du dos et l'arrière du cou. Les parties inférieures sont blanches, avec un collier blanc contrastant avec le dos et la nuque noirs.
La tête présente une face blanche, et le sommet de la calotte est noir. Les yeux sont rouges. Le bec long et fin est noir et droit. Les très longues pattes et les doigts sont rougeâtre rose.
Les deux sexes sont presque semblables, mais la femelle est brunâtre alors que le mâle est plus noir et présente des plumes verdâtres brillantes.
Le juvénile est plus clair que l'adulte.

Mille mercis par avance à vous tous pour vos visites, commentaires, critiques et compliments toujours très appréciés.
Je ne manquerais pas de visiter vos galeries respectives et d'y laisser un petit mot..
Excellente journée à vous.
Lots of spatting but generally the adult wins out.
Hope you don’t mind for one more.
I love nature.
Happy Wing Wednesday.
A White-crowned Sparrow appeared while I had fun taking shots of rain and aspen leaves.
I enjoyed seeing these birds as fledglings when we lived in Alaska. Now, living in the Lower 48, I can see them as adults.
Slight crop, only. Thanks for looking. Back shortly.

One of the most common and widespread sparrows in North America. Fairly large with a long, rounded tail. Overall coarsely patterned with gray and brown, usually with more reddish-brown wings and tail. Look especially for thick brown streaks on the underparts and a broad dark mustache stripe. Significant variation in plumage geographically: relatively pale and rusty in the southwestern U.S.; blacker streaking in California; overall dusky in the Pacific Northwest. Larger, longer-tailed and usually more rusty than Savannah Sparrow. Found in a variety of scrubby habitats both near and far from human development, especially edges of fields, often near water. Listen for husky "chimp" calls and melodic song with chips and trills. (eBird)

I never get tired of Song Sparrows. Exuberant singers for much of the year, each one has a different song that follows the same pattern. This means that you can actually count the number of sparrows just by song.
Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. May 2023.
Squat little owl with dense barring all over the body. Lacks the false eyes on the back of the head possessed by many other owlets. Gives bursts of loud hollow trills, comparable to barbets, as well as a mellow “kaaaooo-kaaaaooo-kah-ow!” A forest species, found in densely wooded areas in lowlands and foothills. Most active at dawn and dusk.
Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand, India. January 2015.
A medium-sized dark-backed albatross with pale underwings outlined by a narrow dark border and a dark notch in the armpit. The adult has a whitish head with grayish cheeks that give it a “white-capped” appearance. The gray-green bill has a yellowish tip to both mandibles. Juveniles are grayer on the head with gray bills. The species breeds on islands off Tasmania and New Zealand but disperses widely across the southern Oceans between 15 and 60°S, where it is a frequently encountered pelagic seabird. Similar albatrosses have a dark-tipped (not pale-tipped) lower half to the bill, and Salvin’s Albatross has a pale gray head and Chatham Albatross a slaty-gray head, further differentiating them from White-capped Albatross. Juveniles of these three are very difficult to separate. (eBird)

By far the most frequently seen albatraoss of our trip. Usually seen gliding effortlessly over the ocean, this one decided to join the fun of our albatross hunt. He is one of the four species that we found that day.

This individual is in advanced wing moult. Adults have completely white wings and tail and they lose their black head for winter. The thicker, blood-red bill separates it from the Black-headed Gull which will have black in the wings at all ages
