I wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter!!!
Something opens our wings.
Something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

Maar hoe is dahliatuin in Rekken ontstaan?
In 2010 tijdens het 100-jarig bestaan van de Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest was er voor het eerst een dahliatuin bij de Piepermolen in Rekken. Een groep vrijwilligers heeft toen vanwege het 100-jarig jubileum van Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest een dahliatuin aangelegd met daarin 100 soorten dahlia’s. Unieke soorten die niet verwerkt worden op de (Rekkense) corsowagens. De belangstelling voor de dahliatuin was overweldigend. Een aantal vrijwilligers heeft daarom de koppen weer bij elkaar gestoken om enkele jaren later wederom een dahliatuin te kunnen realiseren. Zo werd er in 2014 voor de tweede keer een dahliatuin aangelegd bij de Piepermolen. Deze dahliatuin was met zijn 160 soorten nog groter dan de die in 2010. Ook nu weer was de dahliatuin aangekleed met diverse accessoires. De belangstelling bij de opening was groot en ook in weken, maanden daarna zijn er vele mensen geweest die een bezoek hebben gebracht aan de dahliatuin. De reacties waren ook nu weer zeer positief, dat zorgde ervoor dat de vrijwilligers toen al besloten dat de dahliatuin ook in de jaren daarna een vervolg zou gaan krijgen. En nu is dat moment aangebroken. De vrijwilligers zijn alweer bezig met de voorbereidingen voor de dahliatuin 2022. Dit jaar zullen er weer vele soorten dahlia’s te bewonderen zijn.
De vrijwilligers zijn ruim een half jaar druk bezig met de aanleg maar vooral met het onderhouden van de dahliatuin, zij houden zich bezig met o.a. het poten van de dahlia’s, het schoffelen, het plukken van de (slechte) bloemen en aan het einde van het seizoen, het uithalen van de knollen. Dit alles is zeer arbeidsintensief, de vrijwilligers zijn hier zeker één middag in de week mee bezig.

But how did the dahlia garden in Rekken come about?
In 2010, during the centenary celebrations of the Rekken Folk Festival Association (*Vereniging Rekkens Volksfeest*), a dahlia garden was created for the first time at the Piepermolen in Rekken. To mark the association's 100th anniversary, a group of volunteers planted a garden featuring 100 varieties of dahlias—unique types not typically used on the local parade floats. Public interest in the dahlia garden was overwhelming. Consequently, a number of volunteers joined forces again to create another dahlia garden a few years later. Thus, in 2014, a second dahlia garden was established at the Piepermolen. With 160 varieties, this garden was even larger than the one from 2010. Once again, the garden was enhanced with various decorative elements. There was great interest at the opening, and many people visited the garden in the weeks and months that followed. The response was extremely positive, prompting the volunteers to decide right then that the dahlia garden would continue in future years. Now, that time has come again; the volunteers are already busy preparing for the 2022 dahlia garden. This year, many varieties of dahlias will once again be on display.
The volunteers spend more than six months hard at work—not only establishing the garden but, more importantly, maintaining it. Their tasks include planting the dahlias, hoeing, removing spent or damaged blooms, and lifting the tubers at the end of the season. All of this is very labor-intensive; the volunteers certainly spend one afternoon a week on it.

Unlike many other lazy males, it is the male Great Blue Heron that builds and takes primary responsibility for maintaining the nest. Once built, to attract a mate he begins a display where he squats down, raises up calling lifting his beak to the sky. It’s sad to see a male go through a season, building a nest, displaying over and over again to no avail. Maybe it’s his first or possibly last season or there is a shortage of females. Unknown. Maybe he just built a lousy nest and no female would approve. Anyway, one he has successfully attracted a mate he will continue to bring nesting material and pass the sticks to the female who will work to intertwine them with the existing sticks to further solidify the nest. Quite a show. This guy is shown at the apex of the display on, what looks like to me, a fine nest and I liked his display too. (OK, hold those comments wise guys).

for all the people who just hit the FAVE button and move on, there is this thing called the comment box. You might try using it once in awhile. I notice that a lot of the people who never comment are those who have a thousand or more contacts they follow which seems just ludicrous. How can you possibly connect with that many people here unless you do nothing else in your life. So if you hit the fave button in the hopes I will come and make you a contact, forget it. Doesn't work that way with me.
The Sayaca Tanager is widely distributed across South America, ranging from eastern Brazil and Bolivia to northern Argentina. It prefers open woodlands, gardens, and urban spaces, adapting well to human presence. Its diet consists of fruits, seeds, and insects, and it often forages in small flocks. While Sayaca Tanagers usually have a calm demeanor, this photograph reveals an unusual display of anger towards another tanager.

This display is part of the male great egret's courtship behavior. A nearby female watched him perform his ritual. It worked:)

This day in 2014 was a good one! In yesterday's Twister A2A pic, I mentioned that the Extra 300 wasn't the ideal camera-ship for A2As - UNLESS you were inverted. As crazy as it sounds, Mark Jefferies flew me through two full laps of Sakhir AB and the Bahrain International Circuit chasing the DHL Display Team (Extra pair + 757) almost entirely inverted!
In this close-up shot, Chris Burkett's Extra sits just off the wing-tip of the 757.
Definitely one of the more exhilarating shoots I've been involved with!

The Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) is a highly adaptable, medium-sized bird known for its rapid global expansion. Originally native to warmer regions of Asia, it has become a common sight in urban, suburban, and agricultural areas across Europe and North America.
Key Identification Features
Appearance:
They have a plump, sandy-gray or buff-colored body with a distinctive black half-collar on the nape of the neck.
Distinctive Tail:
Unlike the pointed tail of a Mourning Dove, the Eurasian collared dove has a broad, squared-off tail with large white patches at the corners.
Eyes and Bill:
Adults possess striking dark red eyes and a thin black bill.
Vocalizations:
Their primary call is a rhythmic, three-syllable coo (koo-KOO-kook) with the middle syllable emphasized. They also emit a harsh, nasal screeching sound just before landing.
Behavior and Diet
Diet:
These birds are primarily granivores, feeding on seeds, grains, and cereal crops, though they occasionally eat berries and small insects. They are frequent visitors to backyard bird feeders, where they often forage on the ground.
Territoriality:
They can be aggressive competitors at feeding stations, often chasing away smaller birds or native species like the Mourning Dove.
Flight Display:
Males perform a ritualized mating flight, flying nearly vertically before gliding down in a spiral with fanned tails.
Breeding and Life Cycle
Rapid Reproduction:
A monogamous pair can raise up to six broods per year in warmer climates.
Nesting:
They build simple, often flimsy platform nests made of twigs in trees, on buildings, or even on man-made structures like satellite dishes.
Parental Care:
Both parents share incubation duties and feed their young "crop milk," a nutrient-rich fluid secreted from their esophagus.
Global Colonization
The species is famous in ornithology for its "leapfrog" colonization style—new populations often spring up hundreds of miles away and eventually "backfill" the space in between. After being introduced to the Bahamas in the 1970s, they reached Florida by the 1980s and have since spread across most of the continental United States and into Canada.

I just happened upon this egret all by itself. I shot through an opening in trees to get the display.

Goldeneye have a little mating dance ritual and as part of the choreography they throw their heads back like in the photo. The courtship display is very entertaining to watch it if you can catch them in the middle of it. The Bufflehead and the Hooded Merganser have similar rituals too.
