The Common Raven is the largest songbird in the world, and the individual in this image is vocalizing at a location along the Ingraham Trail (highway) that runs east of Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories of Canada. Thanks to its size and resourcefulness, this species does very well even in the Arctic in wintertime. (It has a circumpolar distribution and is also found year-round in Greenland and northern Eurasia.). The Common Raven is the territorial bird of Yukon Territory, to the west of the NWT in the northern part of Canada.
A Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) female was observed being courted by a male Barrow's Goldeneye in Hawrelak Park in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. There were a number of male and female Common Golden on the pond so it was interesting to observed this behaviour by the Barrow's Goldeneye.

Last week lots of water was opening up but since then it all froze again with a little sliver open today. Isle Lake Alberta
Shoreline at Mountain View,
Santa Clara County, California
Female from this summer that came in amazingly close in the setting sun. This bird should've been further north breeding, but stayed for a while at Shoreline's famous lake. Wasn't even the best sighting of the day,
Female.
Species: Sympetrum striolatum.
One of the most abundant European dragonflies, the male common darter is typically a vivid red colour and the female turns from a yellow colour to a deep chocolate brown. The common darter can be found in a wide variety of wetland habitats, but generally prefer to breed on still waters such as ponds and lakes. Info: The Wildlife Trusts.

Wikipedia: The common flameback (Dinopium javanense), also referred to as the common goldenback, is a small (28–30 cm), three-toed woodpecker in the family Picidae, found throughout South and Southeast Asia. There are six subspecies currently recognized.
As shy and secretive birds, common flamebacks are unlikely to be found in urban areas. They live in a variety of habitats, ranging from moist open forests, to scrubs, and mangroves. Although they generally enjoy lowlands, they can reach altitudes of 1700m above sea level in India and in those cases prefer living in pine forests.
Their distribution ranges across Southeast Asia, from the Western Ghats in India to the Indochinese peninsula and several of the Greater Sunda Islands.
Conservation status: Least Concern

I don't know much about this plant, but I do know that I was impressed with its tall and yellow/orange flower...
A tall wildflower growing by the lakeshore.
Not ideal, with that twig in the foreground, but at least I got focus on it before it flew off. My first viewing of a common yellowthroat.
Her beauty is more subtle than the one of the male but a beauty none the less especially when observed in a Summery Decor like this one (IMHO) :).

Common Gallinule incubating 3 eggs. Male and females share incubation responsibilities; this is the male taking his turn while the female was foraging for food. The nest is a particularly sturdy construction. Seen in the Cullinan Park Conservancy, Sugarland, Texas.
The pond/common slider (Trachemys scripta) is a species of common, medium-sized, semiaquatic turtle. Hatchling and juvenile pond sliders have a greenish upper shell (carapace), yellow bottom shell (plastron), and green and yellow stripes and markings on their skin. These patterns and colors in the skin and shell fade with age until the carapace is a muted olive green to orange brown or brown and the plastron is a dull yellow or darker.
Common Yellowthroat are always a bit of a challenge to get but sometimes they will come out to see what is making a phishing noise. But they don't stay out for long.
Common Terns can be quite abundant on the Forth Estuary with local breeding colonies at Leith Docks and Skinflats Ponds near Grangemouth (artificial rafts). In late summer and the autumn numbers build as more northern birds pass through on their southwards migration.

Common Yellowthroats live in thick, tangled vegetation in a wide range of habitats—from wetlands to prairies to pine forests—across North America. They forage on or near the ground, eating insects and spiders from leaves, bark, branches, flowers, or fruit in low vegetation. Although it sometimes hides in the thickets, its low rough callnote will reveal its presence. The male often perches atop a tall stalk to rap out his distinctive song, wichity-wichity-wichity.
