Red-capped Robin (they are very difficult to photograph - fast darting little critters)
Scientific Name: Petroica goodenovii
Description: The male Red-capped Robin is black above and white below with a distinctive scarlet-red cap, white shoulders, and a red breast that contrasts strongly with a black throat. The black wing is barred white and the tail is black with white edges. Females are quite different in appearance: grey-brown above and off-white below, with a reddish cap, brown-black wings barred buff to white, and some have faint red on the breast. Young birds are similar to females but are streaked white above, have an pale buff wing bar and their breast and sides are streaked or mottled dark-brown.
Similar species: The Red-capped Robin is the smallest red robin. It can be distinguished from other red robins by the unique red cap in the male, and by the dull red cap in the female. Males are similar to the Crimson Chat, Epthianura tricolor, but this species has a white throat, a white eye, is not as plump and lacks the white wing streak.
Distribution: The Red-capped Robin is found from Queensland (rarely above latitude 20°S), through New South Wales, mainly west of the Great Dividing Range, to Victoria and South Australia. Also found in Western Australia in inland regions north to the Pilbara region, rarely being seen on south coast or far south-west. An isolated population occurs on Rottnest Island. Widespread in Northern Territory south of latitude 20°S. The Red-capped Robin will visit areas along the east coast during droughts.
Habitat: The Red-capped Robin is found in most inland habitats that have tall trees or shrubs, such as eucalypt, acacia and cypress pine woodlands. It is mainly found in the arid and semi-arid zones, south of the Tropics, with some extension into coastal regions. The species is seen on farms with scattered trees, as well as vineyards and orchards. It is only occasionally reported in gardens.
Seasonal movements: Partial seasonal migrant, moving to more open areas in winter, usually in south of range.
Feeding: The Red-capped Robin feeds on insects and other invertebrates. It forages on the ground or in low vegetation, and will often perch on a stump or fallen branch, darting down to take insects from the ground. Can be seen in mixed feeding flocks with other small insect-eating birds such as Willie Wagtails, Rufous Whistlers and Black-faced Woodswallows.
Breeding: Red-capped Robins breed in pairs within a breeding territory established and defended by the male. The male sings from perches around the boundary of the territory to deter other Red-capped Robins and also other robin species, such as the Scarlet Robin, P. multicolor. The female chooses a nest site in a tree-fork and builds an open, cup-shaped nest of bark, grass, and rootlets, bound together with spider web, lined with soft materials and often camoflaged with lichen, bark and mosses. The male feeds the female during nest-building and incubation. The female incubates the eggs alone and both sexes feed the young. Once the young have fledged, they may remain in their parents' territories for up to one and a half months before dispersing. Nests may be parasitised by cuckoos. Predators of nestlings include the Grey Shrike-thrush, Colluricincla harmonica, and the Grey Butcherbird, Craticus torquatus.
Research by the Australian Museum (Major et al., 1999) has shown that male Red-capped Robin density is much lower in small, linear bushland remnants than in large non-linear remnants. The small remnants represented a higher risk of predation, making them much less suitable as breeding habitat.
Calls: Males sing with characteristic dry, repeated trill: 'dit-dit-drr-it'. Both sexes have a 'tick' call.
Average size: 12cm
Average weight: 9g
Breeding season: June to January
Clutch Size: Two or three; occasionally one, rarely four.
Incubation: 13 days
Nestling Period: 14 days

Used in a variety of combat situations, the Gravehead assault drone is a weapon of pure force. Boasting heavy armor, an enhanced sensor pod, and a generally very destructive weapon, this drone has been used by a variety of corporations and security units to dominate the battlefield. It's most noted usage was by that of the Golden Hand private military corporation, who deployed dozens of Graveheads to destroy all gang violence in sector 10 of the Beverley Hills slums. While they succeeded in making that portion of the slums a safer place temporarily, several Golden Hand officials were convicted of authorizing the use of brutal force against possible innocents.
For best brickr against legomania and bezor-1.
Also fuck yo cyborgs, drones are still cool.
Sorry for the terrible photo. :/

Got the new teen titans figures wanted to re-create my old teen titans photo with updated figures. really like the outcome
Left To Right
Beast Boy: More or less the official figure, but I changed the crotch piece from purple to black, and it looks way better!
Starfire: I'll be honest, I didn't love the official figure. Mainly that her hair was the wrong color, so I gave her dark red instead.
Robin: my Dick Grayson Robin I posted a bit ago. Thought about posting Nightwing instead, but I thought this robin design worked really well with this bunch.
Cyborg: Not to much has changed with him. Still looks great.
Raven: The only one who has yet to appear as an official Lego figure. Her cape/hood is cape madness. The torso and legs are new as well.

....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Olive-backed Oriole
Scientific Name: Oriolus sagittatus
Description: The Olive-backed Oriole is part of a worldwide family, of which Australia has two other members (the Yellow Oriole and the Figbird). Males and females have an olive-green head and back, grey wings and tail, and cream underparts, streaked with brown. They both have a bright red eye and reddish beak. Females can be distinguished from males by a paler bill, duller-green back, and an extension of the streaked underparts up to the chin.
Similar species: Olive-backed Orioles have a reddish bill, which easily distinguishes the species from the similar Figbird Sphecotheres viridis, which has a blackish bill. It also lacks the Figbird's bare eye skin and has red rather than dark eyes. The Yellow Oriole O. flavocinctus is generally more yellow overall.
Distribution: The Olive-backed Oriole occurs across coastal regions of northern and eastern Australia from the Kimberley region in Western Australia, right around the east coast to Adelaide in South Australia.
Habitat: The Olive-backed Oriole lives in forests, woodlands and rainforests, as well as well-treed urban areas, particularly parks and golf courses.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary in the north of its range, but appears to be a summer migrant to the more southern part of its range. Small groups undertake nomadic movements, following fruiting trees during the autumn and winter.
Feeding: Olive-backed Orioles are less gregarious than Figbirds, with which they are often seen foraging. Although they are sometimes seen in small groups, particularly in autumn and winter, they more often occur alone or in pairs, feeding on insects and fruit in canopy trees.
Breeding: The female Olive-backed Oriole builds a cup-shaped nest which is attached by its rim to a horizontal fork on the outer-edge of the foliage of a tree or tall shrub. Nests are usually around 10 m above the ground, and built of strips of bark and grass, bound with spider web. The male does not build the nest, or incubate the eggs, but he feeds the young after the eggs hatch.
Calls: Repeated, rolling 'ori-ori-oriole'. Olive-backed Orioles are excellent mimics of other birds, and are also 'ventriloquists', meaning they can 'throw' their voices to sound like they are calling from somewhere else.
Minimum Size: 26cm
Maximum Size: 28cm
Average size: 27cm
Average weight: 96g
Breeding season: September to January
Clutch Size: 2 to 3
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 17 days

Comment une bibliothèque, un théâtre et d'autres partenaires culturels peuvent-ils cohabiter avec succès sous un même toit ? D'abord en abattant les cloisons...et deuxièmement, en combinant l’architecture de l’espace public avec le design de la programmabilité. Le résultat s’appelle Hub Kerkrade : non seulement un centre de ressources, mais aussi un vivier de connaissances, d’informations, d’éducation et de divertissement.
Kerkrade est une ville située dans la province la plus méridionale des Pays-Bas, à proximité de l'Allemagne. Le Hub Kerkrade, situé dans un ancien centre commercial, dispose d'une surface de pas moins de 5 000 m2, qui abrite le théâtre, la bibliothèque, divers partenaires culturels et l'école de musique de Kerkrade située à proximité. Cet emplacement fait partie du centre-ville revitalisé. Le design du Hub est une nouvelle co-création du guide créatif international et architecte Aat Vos (concept de design, stratégie, direction créative) en collaboration avec Mars Interior Designers (design, ingénierie).
A l'origine, la bibliothèque occupait la moitié de la surface du bâtiment et était séparée du théâtre par un mur. La suppression des cloisons a permis de créer plus d'espace, de lumière et une nouvelle idée pour le foyer. Cet espace pratiquement toujours vide s'est transformé en un espace de vie partagé multifonctionnel où l'on peut travailler, étudier ou se rencontrer. Le point de mire de cet espace se trouve dans le foyer : l'escalier du théâtre est équipé d'une belle rampe et d'un tapis rose rougeâtre, recouvert des deux côtés d'acier bleu. Le bar du foyer a été réalisé en cuivre et est désormais posé sur un fond de briques brutes, associé à un écran LED et à un caisson lumineux. Le « break drinks cabinet » vole la vedette, tant par sa taille que par l'éclairage changeant de couleur.
How can a library, a theatre and other cultural partners successfully coexist under one roof? Firstly by breaking down the walls...and secondly, by combining the architecture of public space with the design of programmability. The result is called Hub Kerkrade: not only a resource centre, but also a hotbed of knowledge, information, education and entertainment.
Kerkrade is a city in the southernmost province of the Netherlands, close to Germany. Hub Kerkrade, located in a former shopping centre, has a surface area of no less than 5,000 m2, which houses the theatre, the library, various cultural partners and the nearby Kerkrade Music School. This location is part of the revitalised city centre. The design of the Hub is a new co-creation of international creative guide and architect Aat Vos (design concept, strategy, creative direction) in collaboration with Mars Interior Designers (design, engineering).
Originally, the library occupied half of the building's surface and was separated from the theatre by a wall. The removal of the partitions created more space, light and a new idea for the foyer. This almost always empty space has been transformed into a multifunctional shared living space where people can work, study or meet. The focal point of this space is in the foyer: the theatre staircase is equipped with a beautiful banister and a reddish-pink carpet, covered on both sides with blue steel. The foyer bar was made of copper and is now set against a background of raw bricks, combined with an LED screen and a light box. The "break drinks cabinet" steals the show, both in terms of its size and the colour-changing lighting.
Comments are appreciated, but please no more invitations on this one--I did not take the photo. My dear friend Mert is the artist on this beautiful piece.
FrozenBlizzard Thank you very much my friend!!

White-plumed Honeyeater (landscape version)
Scientific Name: Lichenostomus penicillatus
Description: The White-plumed Honeyeater is a medium-sized honeyeater with a slightly down-curved bill. It is yellowish-olive to grey above, pale brown-grey below, with a yellowish head and a distinctive white neck-plume, giving the bird its name. The males are slightly larger but the sexes are otherwise similar. Young are duller, with much less distinct plumes and a paler bill. Usually gregarious and seen constantly moving from tree to tree with rapid darting movements.
Similar species: The only honeyeater with a white neck-plume, the White-plumed Honeyeater may only be confused at a distance with other similarly sized plumedLichenostomus honeyeaters such as the Yellow-plumed, Yellow-tinted, Fuscousand Grey-fronted Honeyeaters.
Distribution: Endemic to mainland Australia, the White-plumed Honeyeater is found found everywhere except in the tropical north, Cape York Peninsula and the most arid areas. Originally a 'straggler' to Sydney until the 1940s, it is now very common and well-established, and has also expanded its range into the upper Hunter Valley all the way to Newcastle, New South Wales. It may also be extending its range into south-western Western Australia, but this is yet to be confirmed.
Habitat: The White-plumed Honeyeater is found in open forests and woodlands, often near water and wetlands. It is scarce or absent in arid regions unless water artificially supplied (e.g. water troughs for stock). Its overall distribution is linked to River Red Gums. It is also found in remnant bushland in urban areas, as well as parks and gardens.
Seasonal movements: Seasonal migration from ranges to lower areas in winter.
Feeding: The White-plumed Honeyeater feeds very actively from leaves and flowers in the crowns of trees and in shrubs between 5 m and 13 m from the ground. Its main foods are nectar, insects (and their products such as lerps and honeydew), manna and fruit, with some seeds. Very strongly associated with River Red Gums. They sometimes also feed in the air or forage upon the ground.
Breeding: During the breeding season, male White-plumed Honeyeaters make several 'Song Flights' throughout the day above the treetops (10 m - 20 m above ground) while singing a special song, before diving steeply into nearby tree. Females build a small cup-shaped nest in the crown of a tree from 1 m to 20 m off the ground. It is woven from grass and spider web and lined with wool, hair or feathers. Females incubate the eggs but both parents feed the young, sometimes with the assistance of helpers. Two to three clutches are laid each year.
Calls: The White-plumed Honeyeater is one of the first birds to call in the morning and the last to call in the evening, with several songs e.g. 'chick-ick-o-wee' or 'chirrapo-we-weet, other calls and musical whistles. Also has a piping alarm call. The White-plumed Honeyeater is one of the first birds to call in the morning and the last to call in the evening.
Minimum Size: 15cm
Maximum Size: 17cm
Average size: 16cm
Average weight: 19g
Breeding season: Anytime, but mainly August to December.
Clutch Size: Two to three, rarely four.
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 14 days

There is some more information about Ile St. Louis on the first page of comments. And here is a link to a wonderful series of old maps of the historic center of Paris, showing the development around the Ile de la Cite and Ile St. Louis from the 1400's to the 1800's.
paris1900.lartnouveau.com/paris00/ile_cite_st-louis.htm
DESCRIPTION: C'etait le debut du mois de mars et je me regalais du ciel ombrageux sur cette vue classique de l'Ile St. Louis. On prendrait ce quartier - vu de la Rive Gauche - presque pour un autre village entierement diferent, sur une autre riviere, dans un autre lieux qu'au centre de Paris. L'Ile St. Louis, cette soiree la, juste apres le coucher du soleil que l'on voix legerement a gauche, me semblait absolument paisible .... une ile tranquile parmi l'activite' frenetique de Paris vers le soir quand tout le monde rentre chez eux, en toute vitesse. Ici le temps paraissait completement arrete' .... on ne voyait personne, et seulement deux ou trois petites lumieres clignotaient des fenetres. On entendait dans cette tranquilite' la Seine couler, comme elle l'a fait depuis des siecles.
DESCRIPTION: The Île Saint-Louis is one of two natural islands in the Seine river, in Paris, France (the other natural island is Île de la Cité, the Île des Cygnes is artificial). The island is named after King Louis XI of France (Saint Louis).
The island is connected to the rest of Paris by bridges to both banks of the river and by the Pont Saint Louis to the Île de la Cité. This island was formerly used for the grazing of market cattle and stocking wood. One of France's first examples of urban planning, it was mapped and built from end to end during the 17th-century reigns of Henri IV and Louis XIII. A peaceful oasis of calm in the busy Paris centre, this island has but narrow one-way streets, no métro stations and two bus stops. Most of the island is residential, but there are several restaurants, shops, cafés and ice cream parlours at street level, as well as one large church, Église St. Louis en L’Isle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%c3%8ele_Saint-Louis
This is an authentic part of Paris like it looked in the 17th and 18th century! Pretty, elegant, narrow streets, dignified premises and picturesque interior courtyards, like in the Marais. An oasis of peace in the middle of this busy modern city. An amazing oasis full of the atmosphere of pre-modern times. www.apartexchange.com/Guide_paris3-ilestlouis.htm for an excellent short history of the island.

PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVORITE
A loud speaker booms through the corridors.
“Attention all Justice League Of America members, please report to the central control room immediately.”
One by one, the JLA files into the central control room.
“Ok, ok I’m here. What I miss?”
“Don’t worry Oliver, we wouldn’t start without you.” A voice said as Oliver ran into the room
Oliver looked up to see a tall man, completely shaven, standing in front of the team.
“I know you. You’re Lex Luthor, the CEO.”
“Glad we can skip the introductions, Mr. Queen-“
“I also know about all that shady business Lexcorp gets up to. Destroy 3rd world villages mining for rare meteorites. Tired pretty hard to cover that up.”
“I see my reputation proceeds me.”
“You can say that again.”
“Well, unless our own conscientious objector has anything to say-“
“Oh I got plenty to say to you, Luthor-“
“Save it. We have a mission to complete here” Captain Atom interjected
“Thank you Captain. Now, just to make everything clear, I’ll be providing off the books funding for this little escapade, and I’ll also be one of it’s main heads of this operation”
“Called it” Oliver said through a fake cough. Dina chuckled under her breath as Lex scowled.
“Anything you would like to add Mr. Queen?”
“Yeah, I got a question, what happened to your hair? Cause I remember seeing you on TV and you had some nice ginger locks not to long ago.”
Lex sighed.
“I have found that in life there can be a lot of… distractions. Lots of little things that build up over time that can get in the way of your goals. So sometimes, you just need to get rid of all those distractions that get in your way to get what you want. Do you follow?”
“Yeah I think so.”
“Good. Now, here are your mission’s. You’ll be splitting up into pair’s of two’s and you’ll be hunting down known criminals and fugitives from the law. We’re not waiting for them to make a move.”

Hey, so i'm currently at a film program, thus my lack of updating, but i took a couple photos before i left so expect some stuff for the month of july, just not much
On 17 January 2021, I had commented on a fellow photographer's old Snowy Owl photo taken late last year. I said that there didn't seem to be as many of these magnificent birds this winter. Immediately, Ron sent me a Flickr mail, telling me in which area he had seen several of them. My reply was that that was a long drive and further than I would normally drive. And that was that. However, I kept looking at the map, knowing that a good part of the distance was new to me. Then I began to think that maybe I could do it after all. No desperation, no need to get out there immediately. In fact, 13 days went by before this trip. Thank you so much, Ron, for passing on this information to me and later, to at least one other person. Though we both had successful days, we can only take part of the credit for our finds. I would never have even thought of travelling to this area. Of course, there was still no guarantee that any owls would be seen, but it was fun to explore a new place. Thoroughly enjoyed myself finding and photographing various old barns and sheds, too.
I had planned out my main route - and then the weather forecast changed at the last minute. Now the forecast said it was going to be a cloudy day with sunny breaks. Did I really want to go? When I checked the forecast for the coming week, snow was forecast for four days and I knew I would never drive rough roads after a snowfall. So, yesterday it was. I wasn't sure if any photos would turn out with such low light, but they seemed usable. One thing that I was definitely not impressed to see, shortly before reaching my destination, was the sudden appearance of my car's maintenance light come on!
I saw three Snowy Owls; two females and 1 male. The first female decided to fly when I was ridiculously far down the road. Maybe she had spotted some prey. The second owl was the female seen in all three photos posted today. She was perched on a far away silo. She had her back to me and stayed that way. When she turned her head to preen her back feathers, at least I could see her face. She knew I was there, as she had glanced my way two or three times, but was comfortable enough to sit and preen for a little while. The third owl was a beautiful white male. I hadn't seen it, perched on top of a power pole, but when I pulled over to stop and check my map, suddenly there was a flap of huge white wings seen out of the corner of my eye. No photos of either the first or third bird.
A few other birds that I saw included a flock of maybe 10 or so Gray Partridge that flew across the road in front of my car, and a fairly large flock of Snow Buntings, behaving the way they always do.
On the way home, I decided to quickly check on a few things east of the city. Nothing new, but nice to see a few familiar old barns and sheds.
So glad I made myself do this new drive.
