A Snowy Egret Soars into the morning sun at Bolsa Chica Wetlands.
Among the most elegant of the herons, the slender Snowy Egret sets off immaculate white plumage with black legs and brilliant yellow feet. Those feet seem to play a role in stirring up or herding small aquatic animals as the egret forages. Breeding Snowy Egrets grow filmy, curving plumes that once fetched astronomical prices in the fashion industry, endangering the species. Early conservationists rallied to protect egrets by the early twentieth century, and this species is once again a common sight in shallow coastal wetlands.
From Cornell:
The sweet, lazy whistles of Eastern Meadowlarks waft over summer grasslands and farms in eastern North America. The birds themselves sing from fenceposts and telephone lines or stalk through the grasses, probing the ground for insects with their long, sharp bills. On the ground, their brown-and-black dappled upperparts camouflage the birds among dirt clods and dry grasses. But up on perches, they reveal bright-yellow underparts and a striking black chevron across the chest.
Listen to their song here:

🎶 RIHANNA - BORN AGAIN
Lyrics
I'd give my heart to this place
I'd give my soul or whatever it takes, never run away
I've got enough angels to storm the gates, I'm not afraid
And behold the brave, not have it no other away
I miss the emergence and these moments of you
The mere reflection of me, that mirror can't change its view
So until those rivers run out, it runs through me
Wherever you are, I'll bе there
We carry on
Born again
I'd give my heart to this place
I'd give my whole soul and whatever it takes, never run away
And I'd relive this just to see your face again
I know that you'd do the same, born again
Just tell me what I need to do
I'd die and come back just to love you
Just tell me, I'm begging you
Just tell me what I need to do

Don't let nobody try to dampen your flame
Try to cool you down
Try to make you change
Try to steal your heat
Or mock your desire
Take your flames to the street
Cause you were born on fire ♫
Thank you Rie (Wetcat) for making the pose ♥
And many thanks to Memo Opaque for being patient while I took forever taking this pic lol. Much appreciated!
" Happiness is strange;
it comes ... when you are not
seeking it.
When you are not making an
effort to be happy, ... then
.... unexpectedly, .... mysteriously,
...... Happiness is there, .....
born of purity, ...of loveliness of being. "
- Jiddu Krishnamurti
This was born first day of Autumn, thus the tittle.
I only have 3 Chrysalis 3 Caterpillars ready for the next step

Incredible amount they consumed, I need to plant more next year,
Happy Sunday!

I get pretty excited with anticipation when I see her in the chute because I know its going to be good every time, this ain't her first rodeo. I'm not on the right side of the buck but I felt I had to showcase her anyway. It is like she's going to buck herself right off the screen.
My favourite, catchy tune right now called "First Rodeo"
Love to dance to this song even when I'm by myself. The words could have been written about me back in the day. lol

The Indian pangolin, thick-tailed pangolin, or scaly anteater (Manis crassicaudata) is a pangolin found on the Indian subcontinent. It is not common anywhere in its range. Like other pangolins, it has large, overlapping scales on its body which act as armour. It can also curl itself into a ball as self-defence against predators such as the tiger. The colour of its scales varies depending on the colour of the earth in its surroundings.
It is an insectivore, feeding on ants and termites, digging them out of mounds and logs using its long claws, which are as long as its fore limbs. It is nocturnal and rests in deep burrows during the day.
The Indian pangolin is threatened by hunting for its meat and for various body parts used in traditional medicine.
The Indian pangolin is a solitary, shy, slow-moving, nocturnal mammal. It is about 84–122 centimetres (33–48 in) long from head to tail, the tail usually being 33–47 cm long, and weighs 10–16 kg. Females are generally smaller than the males and have one pair of mammae. The pangolin possesses a cone-shaped head with small, dark eyes, and a long muzzle with a nose pad similar in color, or darker than, its pinkish-brown skin. It has powerful limbs, tipped with sharp, clawed digits. It is an almost exclusive insectivore and principally subsists on ants and termites, which it catches with a specially adapted long, sticky tongue.The pangolin has no teeth, but has strong stomach muscles to aid in digestion. The most noticeable characteristic of the pangolin is its massive, scaled armour, which covers its upper face and its whole body with the exception of the belly and the inside of the legs. These protective scales are rigid and made of keratin. It has 160–200 scales in total, about 40–46% of which are located on the tail. Scales can be 6.5–7 cm long, 8.5 cm wide, and weigh 7–10 grams. The skin and scales make up about one-fourth to one-third of the total body mass of this species.
The Indian pangolin has been recorded from various forest types, including Sri Lankan rainforest and plains to middle hill levels. The animal can be found in grasslands and secondary forests, and is well adapted to desert regions as it is believed to have a tolerance to dry areas, but prefers more barren, hilly regions. This pangolin species may also sometimes reach high elevations, and has been sighted in Sri Lanka at 1100 meters and in the Nilgiri mountains in India at 2300 meters. It prefers soft and semi-sandy soil conditions suitable for digging burrows.
Pangolin burrows fall into one of two categories: feeding and living burrows. Feeding burrows are smaller than living burrows (though their sizes vary depending on the abundance of prey) and are created more frequently during the spring, when there is a greater availability of prey. Living burrows are wider, deeper, and more circular, and are occupied for a longer time than feeding burrows, as they are mainly used to sleep and rest during the day. After a few months, the pangolin abandons the burrow and digs a new one close to a food source. However, it is not uncommon for the pangolin to shift back to an old burrow.
Unlike its African counterpart, the Indian pangolin does not climb trees, but it does value the presence of trees, herbs, and shrubs in its habitat because it is easier to dig burrows around them. Features that promote an abundance of ants and termites (grasses, bare grounds, bases of trees, shrubs, roots, leaf litter, fallen logs and elephant feces) are often present in pangolin habitats.
Few details are known about the breeding behaviour of the Indian pangolin. During the animal's mating period, females and males may share the same burrow and show some diurnal activities. Males have testes in a fold of the skin located in their groin areas. The female's embryo develops in one of the uterine horns. The gestation period lasts 65–70 days; the placenta is diffuse and not deciduate. Usually, a single young is born, but twins have been reported in this species. The young weigh 235–400 g at birth and measure roughly 30 cm. The newborn animals have open eyes, and soft scales with protruding hairs between them. The mother pangolin carries her young on her tail. When the mother and young are disturbed, the young pangolin is held against its mother's belly and protected by the mother's tail.

LE CHÂTEAU DE SIGOYER :
Le château de Sigoyer est l'un des seuls points stratégiques sur la rive gauche : il domine le Val de Durance et permet d'observer une partie de la via Domitia. Les campagnes de constructions se sont étendues du XIè siècle au XVIè siècle.
Il est probable qu’au XIè siècle, une simple tour soit élevée sur un éperon rocheux déjà occupé à l’époque romaine. Au XIIIè siècle, cette tour est rehaussée sur voûte, et un logis lui est ajouté, flanqué du donjon, d’une enceinte renforcée d’une tour carrée et d’une tour ronde destinée au guet, vers l’ouest et la Durance. Une chapelle est également construite dans cette enceinte. Enfin, une deuxième muraillee ceinture ce premier ensemble, avec une ferme, les écuries, et une citerne de 165 m3.
À la Renaissance, le château est une résidence, des bâtiments sont ajoutés pour la rendre plus confortable.
Aujourd'hui, d'imposantes ruines face à la vallée suggèrent encore ce qui fut sa puissance. La partie Est du château a été restaurée par un particulier, mais n'est pas classée.
Une borne interactive racontant l'histoire du château est adossée à l'église sur la place du village.

This is the first of two catbird young ones to hatch. The nest is in a hedge near my office. I have been checking the progress of the nest since I first discovered it. Curiously, about 10 days ago I discovered 3 eggs in the nest. The following day there were 5. The day after that there were only 2. My ID guide says they usually lay 4 eggs so I'm not really sure what's up with the missing eggs. This little fellow is just a few hours old. There were two eggs last night. I am being as careful as I can to be considerate of the parents who seem not particularly concerned with me taking a quick peak every now and then. If I felt I was stressing them I would just leave them be. The parents feed daily at the suet feeder at my office window.
