The urban park ponds and outside marsh habitats are well on the way to thawing now. I am happy to photograph ducks again.

I posted a shot featuring the female yesterday. Here she is with her mate in focus.

Cryptic Plumage
Brown Creepers can seem to disappear against a tree trunk as they move up from base. I like the feather detail in this shot which is best seen if the zoom tool is used.

I am sure if this sign could talk it might have a few stories.
Old sign off the 95 in Nevada.
A last look at this very rare Warbler for this location. It was a delight to see and photograph this one. It was very energetic, acrobatic. and hard to photograph. It hasn't been seen for a couple of days now. I hope it took advantage of unseasonal warm temps and winds and will make it to a safe place to spend the winter.

This lovely animal is often referred to as a Pronghorn Antelope or Prairie Antelope. According to Wikipedia, it's the fastest land mammal in the Western Hemisphere, with running speeds of up to 88.5 km/h (55 mph). This one was calmly grazing at our city's zoo.
Thank you for your views and comments, much appreciated! Have a great day and for my contacts in the United States, Happy Thanksgiving!

The female on the right has a more deeply curved bill.
They are transitioning into winter plumage. It was a little hazy on that day, but I like the effect.

Located in Hyde Park, New York, the Eveready Diner is a favorite of the locals & visitors to the historical home of President Roosevelt.
The first barn was completed in 2013 by the Hygienic Dress League — the husband-and-wife street art duo of Steve and Dorota Coy from Detroit.

An ancient silo, old Ford pickup and a long unused windmill keep a lovely well-preserved barn company on a delicious Minnesota summer day. As an old person, I can’t simply look at this photo but instead I find myself transported into it and a time it represents.
There was a number of decades last century when rural America was coming alive with a transition from rudimentary physical labor to a more promising future through technology that held hopes of easier and more prosperous living for farmers and their offspring.
For those of us growing up in the decades on either side of mid-century, there were experiences of a lifetime to live, like taking our first airplane trip, watching our first black and white TV followed a number of years later by watching our first color TV program. We were happy with the quality even though years later we would be horrified if we had to watch fuzzy programs.
Our country was creating at a rapid rate some of the world’s most marvelous buildings, machines and 8-cylinder cars that whizzed down two lane highways at speeds exceeding 55 mph. NASA was reaching for the moon even as our military was considered the most powerful on earth.
But underlying the external progress, farmers were slowly undergoing changes as well, changes that turned our Norman Rockwell farms into ever expanding soil factories intent on wringing out every dollar the land could produce. Along with that pursuit, we began to see changes happening to farm families through the loss of farm youth to jobs and careers in our burgeoning cities.
Americana turned into a memory.

Tilia americana
I consider this a weed. It's forever dropping twigs and branches, the wood is basically useless for anything but carving and the only thing worst for firewood is Butternut. The older ones in my woods are over a 100 feet tall with a 4 foot diameter. It's highly unlikely I'll be pulling them out of the ground anytime soon.
A very rare sighting here. This young Whooping Crane was spotted by several people in a marsh north west of Edmonton, and the word got around quickly. I was at the right place and time today to get this shot as it flew by me to land on a field where has been foraging a long distance away from the road I was standing on.
This is a young non-breeding individual that did not go up to Wood Buffalo National Park, or is taking his sweet time to get there. No urgency for it.
The whooping Crane's primary natural breeding ground is Wood Buffalo National Park, in Canada's Northwest Territories and Alberta.
They winter in the coastal marshes of Texas, particularly in the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.

Much as I'd like to think this was pure nature, these ducks and many, many others were scared up by a paddleboarder going by.
