NJ Transit: "The Way to Go"

You can just see the pilot as he concentrates to bring this Cessna Citation Longitude in to land at Houston’s West Side Airport. This is a business jet produced by Cessna, part of the Cessna Citation family. The Model 700 made its first flight on October 8, 2016.
I spent some time today witnessing one of the most remarkable waterfowl sights in the whole world. Somewhere between 10,000 - 15,000 tundra swans are staging right here in the Upper Mississippi River before heading east to Chesapeake Bay for the winter. I took video footage on my smartphone to add some sound, which is sensational, but then I wasn't smart enough to get it on Flickr. Sorry.

Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta)
So intent on scanning the water it paid no attention to us as my mate Gil and I walked along the boardwalk.
Tonight I'm showing more photos from yesterday's trip to the Mississippi River. You may recall that most of the river backwaters are frozen over now, concentrating the remaining tundra swans into small feeding areas. This led to numerous food fights as the tundra swans are very protective of their favorite feeding spots and intruders were met with painful wing blows and beak bites if they trespassed into another swan family's territory.
I love to watch Terns negotiate their landing spots. They need to find a spot within the other shorebirds on the rocks and it takes full concentration. The background is the water. The shot was taken very early in the morning.
The shot below is a close-up of its head and feet which show its intense focus.

Eastern Great Egret (Ardea modesta)
The resident Egret at the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands was so intent on its hunt that it didn't notice me.
Caught this Snowy Egret showing its stuff while on landing approach at a local pond.
Snowy Egrets are medium-sized herons with long, thin legs and long, slender, bills. Their long, thin neck sets the small head well away from the body.
Adult Snowy Egrets are all white with a black bill, black legs, and yellow feet. They have a patch of yellow skin at the base of the bill. Immature Snowy Egrets have duller, greenish legs.
Snowy Egrets wade in shallow water to spear fish and other small aquatic animals. While they may employ a sit-and-wait technique to capture their food, sometimes they are much more animated, running back and forth through the water with their wings spread, chasing their prey.
Snowy Egrets nest colonially, usually on protected islands, and often with other small herons. They concentrate on mudflats, beaches, and wetlands, but also forage in wet agricultural fields and along the edges of rivers and lakes.

White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae)
I'm not sure what this one was concentrating on. From 20
Time goes at a different pace within the Mage's Labyrinth..Our young thief is learning her potential..she saw how she could cast spells with a wand..but it was time to show her how she could unlock her natural potential..and so she did..concentrating and focusing the energies within..she began to utter the runic language of the magi..and harness the inner enchantress ..as He stood and watched..he knew..she was only starting to show her true power
Just concentrating on setting this carby up ready for a test and tune day on the morning of race day.
I have been concentrating on backyard birds for the past few days waiting for the Arctic weather system to pass. We have a ton of snow and lots of birds queued up at the feeders. This Dark-eyed Junco is trying to stay warm while waiting its turn.

The sea was extremely rough and the skipper of the catamaran had his hands full at times.

No real reason for being away so long, we've just been doing other things. Well, Dad has been doing other things, I'm doing what I always do.

For me to get things done, I have to concentrate on one thing at a time. Sometimes it works, but I'm still trying to figure out this new camera, even been tempted to go back to the D40, but I'm forcing myself to stick with it. Concentrate, Karen!!
