Thanks for visiting.

 

Take care out there......

I really liked the way this bin stood out and the colour, as seen on a walk.

Spoonbills are a genus, Platalea, of large, long-legged wading birds. The spoonbills have a global distribution, being found on every continent except Antarctica. The genus name Platalea derives from Latin and means broad, referring to the distinctive shape of the bill. Six species are recognised, which although usually placed in a single genus have sometimes been split into three genera. All spoonbills have large, flat, spatulate bills and feed by wading through shallow water, sweeping the partly opened bill from side to side. The moment any small aquatic creature touches the inside of the bill—an insect, crustacean, or tiny fish—it is snapped shut. Spoonbills generally prefer fresh water to salt but are found in both environments. They need to feed many hours each day. The spoonbills are most distinct from the ibises in the shape of their bill, which is long and flat and wider at the end. The nostrils are located near the base of the bill so that the bird can breathe while the bill is submerged in water. The eyes are positioned to provide spoonbills with binocular vision, although when foraging tactile senses are important too. Like the ibises the spoonbills have bare patches of skin around the bills and eyes. The six species of spoonbill are distributed over much of the world.

Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 48963

I am always attracted to grain bins en masse, even if my husband won't stop the car!

Smoke on the horizon was from a farmer burning brush piles.

Avis à nos amis francophones ne parlant pas anglais : "bin" signifie "poubelle" et "bizarre" est un peu la version finale du mot "weird", évoluant ensuite en "strange" pour finir en "bizarre" quand vraiment, vraiment... VRAIMENT, c'est... bizarre ! :-))

 

Et quoi de plus bizarre que les attitudes de rues qu'on peut croiser au pif ? :-))

Auf Youtube gibt es ein Video wie das Foto entstanden ist. Im Videobereich bin ich erst am Anfang aber ich versuche mich auch da zu verbessern. Würde mich freuen wenn ihr vorbeischaut und auch gerne das Video kommentieren würdet.

 

On Youtube there is a video of how the photo was taken. In the video area I am only at the beginning but I try to improve there as well. I would be happy if you come by and comment the video.

Bild machte meine Tochter.

This is a corrugated metal grain bin or corn crib. I looked up what the difference is between a silo and a grain bin.

 

“Grain bins and silos do not store the same products.

Grain bins store dry grain that will be used for animal feed, human consumption, or fuel. This includes, but is not limited to: shelled corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds.

Silos store silage–typically something like green grass or chopped corn–which is fairly moist and is fed to livestock. The grasses or corn are more or less “pickled” so that they can keep for a long time and feed the livestock during dry seasons or other times when they have no other food to eat.”

This grain bin has not been used in a long time. It is missing the door and has a nice rusty patina on the roof. The top of the roof has holes for aeration of the grain. You will also notice that it is covered in vines, a critical point that I had missed (and it is my Group). Luckily, Vince Montalbano (autofocus) pointed it out to me!

The Australian White Ibis (Threskiornis molucca ) is a native bird originally found in freshwater wetlands. Loss of wetland habitat over the last half century or so has seen an influx of these birds to towns and major cities, where they have adapted to urban environments. They have become quite fearless in scavenging food from people, prompting common reference to them as bin chickens. Ballina, NSW North Coast, Australia.

Der lange Ansitz

An einem Feldweg, auf dem ich Fasane gesehen habe, bin ich an zwei Tagen frühmorgens angesessen, stundenlang, leider vergeblich. Später, bei der Fahrt mit dem Auto konnte ich dann diesen tollen Schnappschuss machen.

 

The long sit

On two days I sat on a field path where I saw pheasants early in the morning, for hours, unfortunately in vain. Later, while travelling by car, I was able to take this great snapshot.

In this view from the Market Street overpass, Conrail SD40s 6247 & 6317, with SD40-2-6358, are leading E/B train PIML-3 (Pittsburgh, PA to Metuchan/Linden, NJ). They're splitting the now gone classic Pennsylvania Railroad Position Light Signals on track one of CR's Pittsburgh Line. Sadly, all of the grain bins are long gone too.
