Whistling Kite
Scientific Name: Haliastur sphenurus
Description: The Whistling Kite is a medium-sized raptor (bird of prey) with a shaggy appearance. It has a light brown head and underparts, with pale streaks, and dark sandy-brown wings with paler undersides. The underwings have a characteristic pale 'M' shape when open. The head and body are relatively narrow and the tail is rounded. The wings are long and well-rounded, with a wingspan of 120 cm to 145 cm. The sexes are similar, but the females are larger. Yong birds are slightly darker above, with paler streaking on head and underbody. They are often seen near water or around farms, soaring in a lazy circling flight pattern.
Similar species: Several other raptors may be confused with the Whistling Kite, including the Little Eagle, Hieraaetus morphnoides, other kites and harriers. These can only be separated by factors such as flight silhouette and style and the overall body shape.
Distribution: The Whistling Kite is widespread over mainland Australia but uncommon in Tasmania, and is also found in New Guinea, the Solomons and New Caledonia.
Habitat: The Whistling Kite is found in woodlands, open country and particularly wetlands. It is also common around farmland, vineyards and anywhere where carrion (dead animals) can be found (e.g. abattoirs, rubbish dumps and roadsides). Prefers tall trees for nesting.
Feeding: Whistling Kites soar above the ground, trees and water to search for prey such as carrion (dead animals) and small live animals such as mammals, birds, fish and insects.
Breeding: The Whistling Kite appears to be monogamous, with some breeding pairs remaining in a territory throughout the year and pairs actively defend the area around a nest. The bulky nest platform is built of sticks in a tall tree and may be reused, growing larger over time. Both sexes build the nest and incubate the eggs (the female does most of the incubation however) and may breed two or three times a year. The young stay with the parents after fledging for about six to eight weeks.
Calls: Loud descending whistle: 'teee-ti-ti'.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 60cm
Average size: 55cm
Average weight: 770g
Breeding season: July to January in south; March to October in north.
Clutch Size: One to three, usually two.
Incubation: 38 days
Nestling Period: 46 days

During my afternoon walk today, November 25th, in an Atlanta suburb, I spotted these beautiful roses still in bloom—an uncommon sight for this time of year. Thanks to the unusually warm November weather, these vibrant flowers continue to thrive, bringing a touch of summer to a late autumn day. A lovely reminder of the unexpected beauty nature can offer.

Intermediate egret
Scientific Name: Ardea intermedia
Description: The plumage of the Intermediate Egret is wholly white. During the breeding season, adults have long filamentous plumes emerging from the scapulars, and dense plumes from the breast. The bare parts vary with the stage of the breeding cycle: during courtship the bill is deep pink to bright red with a yellow tip and green base, the lores are bright green, the eyes red and the legs ruby red; when laying, the bill is dull red, the lores are dull, pale green, and the eye is yellow. By the time of hatching, the bill is dull orange-yellow, the lores are yellow or green-yellow, the eye is yellow and the upper portion of the leg yellow with the lower portion grey-black. During non-breeding season, they lose their plumes, the bill turns orange-yellow, the lores are green-yellow or yellow, the eyes are horn-coloured and the upper portions of the legs vary, with the lower portion black. Juveniles appear like non-breeding adults.
Similar Species: The Intermediate Egret is similar to Australiaâs other all-white egrets. The Little Egret is distinguished by its long, black bill. The Great Egret is distinguished by its proportionally longer neck and flat-headed appearance and has a distinct gape that extends well behind the eye. Cattle Egrets are much shorter and dumpier with a stouter bill.
Location: Within Australia, the Intermediate Egret can be found at wetlands throughout the northern third of the continent as well as the eastern third. They are generally absent from Tasmania.
Habitat: Mostly a denizen of the shallows in terrestrial wetlands, the Intermediate Egret prefers freshwater swamps, billabongs, floodplains and wet grasslands with dense aquatic vegetation, and is only occasionally seen in estuarine or intertidal habitats.
Feeding: Aquatic animals, principally fish and frogs, are the main food of the Intermediate Egret. They are usually hunted by standing and waiting, then stabbing at the prey with its dagger-like beak.
Breeding: Intermediate Egrets build a shallow platform of interwoven sticks, placed on a horizontal branch in a tree that is usually standing in water. They generally lay three or four pale-green eggs which are incubated by both sexes. The nestlings are fed by both parents, who regurgitate food, either into the nest or directly into the beak of the young bird.

In the quiet corners of Gibbs Gardens, a lone crocus makes a bold statement against the muted backdrop of fallen leaves. This stunning photograph captures the vibrant purple petals unfurling to reveal a bright orange stamen, a splash of color that seems to defy the earthy tones around it. The flower's rich hue is a testament to the garden's diversity, showcasing the ability of life to burst forth with exuberance even in the most subdued environments. The image's focus draws the eye to the delicate textures of the petals and the pollen-laden heart, a reminder of the garden's role as a sanctuary for both flora and the unseen fauna that dance from bloom to bloom. The crocus, often one of the first signs of spring, stands here not just as a symbol of new beginnings, but as a beacon of hope and beauty amidst the remnants of seasons past.

This close-up view of treetops in San Jose, California, showcases the breathtaking transformation of foliage as autumn takes hold. The image is a mesmerizing tapestry of colors, with deep crimson leaves interspersed among patches of golden yellow and lingering green.
The photograph captures the intricate details of different leaf shapes and sizes, creating a complex, layered effect. Sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating some leaves and casting others into shadow, adding depth and dimension to the scene.
The vibrant red leaves provide striking contrast against the softer hues of the surrounding foliage. This interplay of colors exemplifies the diverse ecology of San Jose's urban forest and the beauty of seasonal change in a Mediterranean climate.
The density of the leaves and branches fills the frame entirely, immersing the viewer in this arboreal wonderland. It's a reminder of the subtle yet profound changes that occur in nature, even within the heart of Silicon Valley. This image invites observers to pause and appreciate the fleeting, exquisite beauty of fall, a visual feast right above our heads in the city's leafy neighborhoods.

Brown Treecreeper
Scientific Name: Climacteris picumnus
Description: The Brown Treecreeper is the largest of Australia's treecreepers. It is mostly pale brown in plumage. Birds of northern Queensland are darker brown. The head, throat and upper breast are pale greyish-brown, while the lower breast and belly are strongly streaked with black and buff. In flight, a buff stripe can be seen in the wing. The sexes are similar, except females have rufous edges to the feathers of the upper breast, while in the male these edges are black. Young Brown Treecreepers resemble the adults, but are duller, have less obvious stripes on the underparts and the lower belly is a pale rufous colour.
Similar species: Other treecreeper species that overlap in range with the Brown Treecreeper include the White-browed Treecreeper, Climacteris affinis, and the White-throated Treecreeper, Cormobates leucophaeus. The White-browed Treecreeper is darker grey-brown with a more distinct white stripe above the eye (edged with red-brown in the female). The eyebrow of the Brown Treecreeper is less distinct and is more buff. The smaller White-throated Treecreeper has much darker upperparts, a contrasting white throat and little or no marks above the eye.
Where does it live?
Habitat: Found in the drier open forests and woodlands, the Brown Treecreeper stays in the same area all year round.
Feeding: The Brown Treecreeper climbs up the trunks and branches of trees in search of food. It probes into cavities and under loose bark with its long downward curving bill. In this way it searches for insects and their larvae. The most favoured insects are ants. Some feeding also takes place on the ground on fallen logs. Sometimes, birds can be seen diving on ground-dwelling prey from a perch in a tree. Feeding normally takes place in pairs or small groups.
Breeding: The nest is a collection of grasses, feathers and other soft material, placed in a suitable tree hollow or similar site. Both sexes build the nest, but the female alone incubates the eggs. Pairs often have two broods during each breeding season. Occasionally, other birds ("helpers") assist the breeding pair with building of nest and feeding the young chicks. Brown Treecreepers are highly sociable birds, living and breeding communally. Each year, the previous year's offspring will remain to help the breeding male feed the female and rear new chicks. Interestingly, it is usually only males which remain to perform this duty.
Calls: The Brown Treecreeper has a loud 'spink' call, which is given either singly or in a series, and normally betrays its presence before the bird is seen.
Minimum Size: 16cm
Maximum Size: 18cm
Average size: 17cm
Average weight: 33g
Breeding season: June to January
Clutch Size: 2 to 3 eggs
Incubation: 17 days
Nestling Period: 26 days

Each Autumn I get two visits from these fungi in my garden. They seem to be part of circles with a radius of nearly 1 metre - hence the "fairy ring". They last a couple of days, then disintegrate, and presumably this is just long enough to set and distribute spores. I understand the whole circle is part of a single organism.

They came again a year later, but not in the same grouping.

Winge about Interestingness/Explore, and the arbitrary treatment of photos on Flickr.
For two years this was officially my most Interesting photo. Then, suddenly, it disappeared from my Most Interesting 200 photos list altogether. And it was kicked down from No.1 in the most interesting lists for a number of tags, to 500+ (if I could find it at all.).
I suppose I am grateful that it got all that exposure from two years as a most interesting photo. But I am also concerned that Flickr has that much control over the exposure that someone gets. I'm a very amateur photographer, but it could dramatically effect a professional.
(If interested, please see my "Banned from Explore" set -- www.flickr.com/photos/algo/sets/72157607021230533/ .)

Your comments and favs are appreciated and do not go unnoticed
Here is an interesting one that I am looking forward to exploring some more this year when I am seeing them out again.
At first glance they seem very much like they are intruda signata but after a few different angles of a male it seems not. So I will try my best to capture a load of different images this year.
With so much around we have learned a great deal but it is only a small portion of what we have left to discover.
A lot of people are grossed out or scared of spiders which is a learned behavior. There has been all sorts of great findings in venom. Imagine if one spider yet to be discovered held the keys to eradicating cancer cells? I bet that would change everyone's perspective about them.
I do this Photography for the art side of it and the sharing results and knowledge. Discovering new things is a pleasant bonus that comes with effort and maybe one day I will be able to get out on a few bigger trips where not many have gone but for now the urban parklands and reserves in my town will suffice.

Monarch Butterfly
Scientific Name: Nymphalidae Danainae
Description: The monarch is one of Manitoba's largest butterflies, with a wingspan of up to 100 mm. The body of the butterfly is black with some white spots. The upper surfaces of the wings are orange with black veining. The wing margins are black with white spots. Males can be distinguished from the females by a black patch on their hind wings, called a stigmata. Underneath, the wings are a paler orange, almost beige, with the same black veining and borders. The caterpillar (larva) of monarchs is boldly patterned, too, with black, white and yellow banding.
Distribution: Monarchs occur throughout North America south of the boreal forest zone, in Central America and northern South America. (It has recently been determined that the South American monarch and those found on Jamaica and Hispaniola are separate species, D. erippus and D. cleophile, respectively. Their distributions are not shown on this map.) Monarchs have been introduced to the Hawaiian Islands and to Australia, and are thought to be spreading around to other islands in the Pacific ocean on their own. There are 3 separate populations in continental North America: one east of the Rocky Mountains, another west of the Rockies, and a third, non-migratory population in Florida and Georgia. In Manitoba, they occur in the southwestern 1/3 of the province up to the edge of the boreal forest.
Habitat: Just about anywhere you can find milkweed plants (Genus: Asclepias) and open meadows, you can find monarch butterflies. They frequent prairies, meadows and wetlands, but avoid thick forests. Food for the caterpillars, milkweed plants, and for the adults, flower nectar, are found mainly in grasslands and meadows in Manitoba, so that's where monarchs tend to be.
Food: Food for adult monarch butterflies consists mainly of flower nectar. They fuel their great travels and reproductive efforts by sipping this sugary solution from obliging plants. The plants are, of course, taking advantage of the monarchs and other insects to do the job of pollination. Most of their favourites fall within the Asteraceae family of plants, including such things as fleabanes (Erigeron spp.), asters (Aster spp.), sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) and blazingstars (Liatris spp.), but they are not really that selective when it comes to flower nectar. Any flower that has available nectar could be visited by a monarch.

Comment être solaire quand l'humanité souffre partout, quand la douleur physique et morale, la violence, la guerre recouvrent tout? Eh bien peut-être rester solaire à cause de tout cela. Constater, dénoncer sont des tâches essentielles. Mais dire qu'autre chose est possible, ici. Plus les jours passent et plus j'ai envie de guetter la lumière, à plus forte raison si elle s'amenuise. Rester du côté du soleil." Philippe Delerm.

Eastern Great Egret
Scientific Name: Ardea modesta
Description: The Great Egret's overall plumage is white, and, for most of the year, when not breeding, the bill and facial skin are yellow. The feet are dark olive-grey or sooty black, as are the legs. During the breeding season, the bill turns mostly black and the facial skin becomes green. Also at this time, long hair-like feathers (nuptial plumes) hang across the lower back, and the legs become pinkish-yellow at the top. Young Great Egrets are similar to the adults, but have a blackish tip to the bill.
Similar species: The Great Egret can be confused with other white egrets found in Australia. It can be distinguished by the length of its neck, which is greater than the length of its body (and with a noticeable kink two-thirds of the way up), a dark line extending from the base of the bill to behind the eye and the overall larger size.
Distribution: Great Egrets occur throughout most of the world. They are common throughout Australia, with the exception of the most arid areas.
Habitat: Great Egrets prefer shallow water, particularly when flowing, but may be seen on any watered area, including damp grasslands. Great Egrets can be seen alone or in small flocks, often with other egret species, and roost at night in groups.
Feeding: The Great Egret usually feeds alone. It feeds on molluscs, amphibians, aquatic insects, small reptiles, crustaceans and occasionally other small animals, but fish make up the bulk of its diet. The Great Egret usually hunts in water, wading through the shallows, or standing motionless before stabbing at prey. Birds have also been seen taking prey while in flight.
Breeding: The Great Egret breeds in colonies, and often in association with cormorants, ibises and other egrets. Both sexes construct the nest, which is a large platform of sticks, placed in a tree over the water. The previous years' nest may often be re-used. Both sexes also incubate the eggs and care for the young (usually two or three).
Minimum Size: 70cm
Maximum Size: 90cm
Average size: 80cm
Breeding season: October to December in the south; March to May in the north.
Clutch Size: 2 to 6
Incubation: 28 days
Nestling Period: 40 days

Catwoman-
Went with a more burglar-ey kind of approach. Sanded down the sides of the hips. Simple.
Poison Ivy-
Went with a green skinned version. Used my Hera head, Gamora arms, and used TLG parts. She’s got an etape skirt.
Harley-
You’ve seen her. :)
And that’s it!
