Pied Flycatcher (f) - Ficedula hypoleuca

The European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family. One of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers, it hybridizes to a limited extent with the collared flycatcher. It breeds in most of Europe and western Asia.

It is migratory, wintering mainly in tropical Africa.

It usually builds its nests in holes on oak trees. This species practices polygyny, usually bigamy, with the male travelling large distances to acquire a second mate. The male will mate with the secondary female and then return to the primary female in order to help with aspects of child rearing, such as feeding.

The European pied flycatcher is mainly insectivorous, although its diet also includes other arthropods. This species commonly feeds on spiders, ants, bees and similar prey.

The European pied flycatcher predominately practices a mixed mating system of monogamy and polygyny. Their mating system has also been described as successive polygyny. Within the latter system, the males leave their home territory once their primary mates lays their first eggs. Males then create a second territory, presumably in order to attract a secondary female to breed. Even when they succeed at acquiring a second mate, the males typically return to the first female to exclusively provide for her and her offspring.

Males will sometimes care for both mates if the nests of the primary and secondary female are close together. The male may also care for both mates once the offspring of the primary female have fledged. The male bird usually does not exceed two mates, practicing bigamy. Only two cases of trigyny had been observed.

I shot some of these for a "Cases" theme a while back but they never got posted. I figured I'd give them another try. For the Macro Mondays group, theme, "Stack". The stack measured approximately 1.25 inches tall. Just the morning sun for lighting.

These two bald eagles are arguing about who has dibs over a dead Virginia opossum. In this case it probably holds that possession is nine-tenths of the law even though the eagle on the prey is an adolescent as the adult eagle stands meekly by. The opossum could have died from exposure, starvation or have actually been killed by this bald eagle as it was forced to be out in broad daylight by hunger.

Spiral Stair Case inside of Victoria Memorial, Kolkata

While I usually like to stay low with drone shots in some situations going high can give you the sort of overview of an area not possible any other way. In this case I caught wind of NS pulling a 68D unit stone train out of the quarry at Clay Center, OH with just enough time for me to get over there and capture a bird's eye view from the NS Chicago main in the foreground to the quarry pit in the background. The town of Clay Center occupies the space between the mainline and the quarry to the middle right. Also note the bridge pier along the road that once supported an interurban rail line. 10/1/2021

The subject of this photograph is the same as the subject of Entanglement (II) but in this case I opted for a more traditional horizontal format instead of the vertical format I used for Entanglement (II). This allows me to focus more on the detail.

Colorful houses- Burano|Venice|Italy

Thanks to the Buranese custom of painting houses in bright colors--a tradition that may have had its origins in the color schemes of local fishing boats. Everywhere you look, you'll see houses clad in blue, green, pink, rose, lavender, purple, yellow, and other colors.

A variety of single malts, just in case. Not in case of disappointment, sadness or tragedy. Just in case of an event worth celebrating. Like your candidate winning the big election. Or more recently, the historic second impeachment, assuring him of an ignominious place in history. These are events worth noting with a little ceremony.
