I've been thinking this wasn't a Willet, but looking at other Willets I've photographed and others have, I see just a hint of the black and white wing markings that distinguish Willits at the tips of this one's folded wings. So I'm calling it a Willet, unless I find a reason not to.
The willet (Tringa semipalmata) is a large shorebird in the family Scolopacidae. It is a relatively large and robust sandpiper.
Worcester Three-Deckers Multiple Property Study
Worcester County, MA
Listed: 02/09/1990
Three-deckers form a distinctive element of Worcester's built environment. They dominate the landscape of most of the city's pre-1930 neighborhoods and include a remarkable variety of forms. The buildings included in this nomination are all three-story houses containing three flats on separate floors that open off common front and rear stairwells, with roughly equivalent floor space on each floor.
The Worcester Multiple Resource Area (MRA) Amendment includes 77 individually contributing buildings and 11 districts, making a total of 189 contributing properties proposed for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Two noncontributing objects and forty-eight noncontributing buildings, mostly garages, are also included. The nominated properties, all three-deckers, are representative of the era of industrial development, population growth, ethnic diversification, and physical expansion that took place in Worcester between 1880 and 1930. In that period, Worcester's population grew 235% from 58,291 to 195,311, and much of the city's landscape was transformed by the widespread construction of the three-deckers that continue to give character to many Worcester neighborhoods today. It is estimated that more than 6,000 of these buildings were built in Worcester over this fifty year period. More than 4,200 of them survive today, although only a small proportion of these retain their original appearance.
Worcester's three-deckers were built during an epoch of rapid urbanization and industrialization, and were designed to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population of varied economic means. Three-deckers were an integral part of the growth of Worcester's urban structure, and their location in the city related to general trends in the city's late 19th and early 20th century expansion, and to shifts in the modes of intraurban transportation.
Built in 1892 by an unknown individual, this distinctive and ornate “wedding cake”-like eclectic Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival-style townhouse stands on Russell Street in the Mutter Gottes Historic District of Covington, Kentucky.
Prior to the construction of the house, according to an 1886 Sanborn Fire Insurance map, the site was home to a wooden duplex, likely built sometime around the mid-19th Century.
The house has a heavily detailed brick facade with decorative brick trim, polychromatic ceramic tiles featuring the busts of Roman emperors, arched two-over-two windows, and a three-tiered front bay window that transforms from being rectangular on the 1st floor, to trapezoidal on the 2nd floor, and semi-circular on the 3rd floor, with the one-over-one windows on this portion of the house featuring multi-colored semi-circular stained glass transoms
The house additionally features many intact historic elements inside, including the original staircase that stretches from the first floor side entrance up to the 3rd floor, original doors and trim throughout, and original tiles and fireplace surrounds on the 1st floor and 2nd floor.
The house, originally a single-family home, featured a garden to the side and several one-story wooden porches on the side and rear, as well as sheds in the backyard.
By the early 20th Century, the house became the home of former Wurlitzer Music Company employee and industrialist Albert B. Koett, born in 1863 in Weimar, Germany, whom founded the Kelley-Koett (Keleket) manufacturing company behind a previous residence on Bakewell Street, where Koett worked with J. Robert Kelley on his innovations to X-Ray machines.
Koett left Wurlitzer in 1905 to work full time with the Kelley-Koett Manufacturing Company with John Robert Kelley, as an innovator and industrialist, innovating the "Keleket" X-Ray machine, utilized widely throughout the United States by the 1920s. The company expanded to the point that it occupied a large building on 4th Street in Covington and an additional building on York Street in Cincinnati's West End.
While owned by Koett, the house was enlarged, adding a masonry addition atop the roof of the two-story rear ell, a wooden addition on the rear of the house over a rear porch, and a new front porch with a red tile roof and wire brick columns.
The house was divided up into several small apartment units in the mid-20th Century after Koett's death, leading to the addition of a metal fire escape to the side, and reconfiguration of the interior, with the house being purchased and rehabilitated in the mid-1980s, returning to usage a single-family home, with a one-bedroom apartment on the third floor.

Male Great Frigatebird (Fregata minor) with its distinctive red gular pouch / A morning “wet” landing to explore Darwin Bay on Genovesa Island, named after the Italian city of Genoa, in honor of Christopher Columbus, (referred to in English as Tower Island). This island is a shield volcano in the Galápagos Islands. The island occupies about 14 square kilometers (5 sq. mi), and its maximum elevation is 64 m (210 ft). The horse-shoe shaped island has a volcanic caldera whose wall has collapsed, forming the Great Darwin Bay, surrounded by cliffs. Lake Arcturus, filled with salt water, lies in the center, and sediment within this crater lake is less than 6,000 years old. Although no historical eruptions are known from Genovesa, there are very young lava flows on the flanks of the volcano. This island is known as Bird Island, because of the large and varied bird colonies which nest here. There are an abundance of frigatebirds and it is among the best place in the archipelago to see red-footed boobies, Nazca boobies, swallow-tailed gulls, storm petrels, tropicbirds, Darwin's finches, and Galápagos mockingbirds. Prince Philip's Steps is an extraordinary steep path that leads through a seabird colony full of life, up to cliffs that are 25 meters (82 feet) high. At the top, the trail continues inland, passing more seabird colonies in a thin forest of Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), an aromatic tree endemic to the Galapagos Islands.

This distinctive and inspiring sign is located along the highway between Morris and Cyrus, MN, and is associated with the recently-deceased Dan Helberg. There used to be a unique sculpture here too but that is now gone (legal restrictions?). People were known to stop here and have photos taken. The sign remains and it, too, is worthy of a photo. Which is why I took it!

The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon - a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the east side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, delicate and colorful pinnacles that are up to 200ft (61m) high, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700m).
Bryce Canyon was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who lived in the area in 1874. The area around the canyon became a National Monument in 1923 and was designated as a National Park in 1928. The park covers 35,835 acres (14,502 ha; 55.992 sq mi).
Headward erosion (meaning Bryce technically is not a canyon) has excavated a series of large amphitheater-shaped features, the largest is Bryce Amphitheater, which is 12 miles (19km) long, 3 miles (4.8km) wide and 800ft (240m) deep.
Toque (Kelly Churko+Tim Olive)
The collaborative project between Canadian guitarists Kelly Churko and Tim Olive takes its name from a distinctive bit of headgear, worn pretty much all year in Canada. On the coldest days of winter, guitarists get together and play songs, and they generally sound nothing like what might arise from this meeting. Thwap, ping, whirr, crunch and other ungodly/beautiful sounds will likely be the hallmark of this mercurial improvising duo. From boiler room echoes to broken toys, everything you would never expect from a guitar, and more.

Launch of The Lancet Series France: nation and world
The dominance of English as the language of science and, increasingly, global health too often closes the door on the history and experiences of others. In France’s case, careful study of the nation’s struggle to achieve universal health coverage, together with its distinctive approach to global health, has much to offer those who seek to understand the diversity of paths to achieve better health at home and abroad. The two Lancet Series papers on France’s contribution to health, along with comments from French or Francophone leaders, aim to correct this imbalance.

Barn owl (Tyto alba)
The barn owl is known for its distinctive heart-shaped face, ghostly white plumage and haunting shriek. This nocturnal predator can be found in farmland across the UK, seeking out small mammals to feed on.
What do barn owls eat?
Barn owls are birds of prey. Their diet consists of rodents and other small mammals - predominantly voles, mice and shrews - and very occasionally bats, small birds, amphibians and invertebrates.
In mainland Britain, field voles are their most common food.
Did you know?
In British folklore, the barn owl was given names such as ghost owl, church owl and demon owl, as it is often seen gliding silently across churchyards like a white ghost, has an unsettling shriek and hisses if you get too close to a nest.

One of Cambridge's most distinctive buildings and landmarks.
Built in the late 19th-Century, it was built to the designs of Sir George Gilbert Scott replacing an earlier building that stood on site dating to the 13th-Century. It's impressive tower is one of Cambridge's highest structures only outdone by the spires of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Catholic Church and All Saints church on Jesus lane. The tower was originally planned to have a spire but was never built and the tower holds no bells despite louvres being present on the belfry windows.
The chapel interior holds a vast collection of Stained Glass and has a large set of choir stalls going down the nave of the building.

Bryce Canyon National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce Canyon National Park is much smaller, and sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
The Bryce Canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874. The area around Bryce Canyon was originally designated as a national monument by President Warren G. Harding in 1923 and was redesignated as a national park by Congress in 1928. The park covers 35,835 acres (55.992 sq mi; 14,502 ha; 145.02 km2) and receives substantially fewer visitors than Zion National Park (nearly 4.3 million in 2016) or Grand Canyon National Park (nearly 6 million in 2016), largely due to Bryce's more remote location. In 2018, Bryce Canyon received 2,679,478 recreational visitors, which was an increase of 107,794 visitors from the prior year.
Bryce Canyon National Park lies within the Colorado Plateau geographic province of North America and straddles the southeastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau west of the Paunsaugunt Fault (Paunsaugunt is Paiute for "home of the beaver").[4] Park visitors arrive from the plateau part of the park and look over the plateau's edge toward a valley containing the fault and the Paria River just beyond it (Paria is Paiute for "muddy or elk water"). The edge of the Kaiparowits Plateau bounds the opposite side of the valley.
Bryce Canyon was not formed from erosion initiated from a central stream, meaning it technically is not a canyon. Instead headward erosion has excavated large amphitheater-shaped features in the Cenozoic-aged rocks of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. This erosion exposed delicate and colorful pinnacles called hoodoos that are up to 200 feet (60 m) high. A series of amphitheaters extends more than 20 miles (30 km) north-to-south within the park. The largest is Bryce Amphitheater, which is 12 miles (19 km) long, 3 miles (5 km) wide and 800 feet (240 m) deep. A nearby example of amphitheaters with hoodoos in the same formation but at a higher elevation, is in Cedar Breaks National Monument, which is 25 miles (40 km) to the west on the Markagunt Plateau.
Rainbow Point, the highest part of the park at 9,105 feet (2,775 m), is at the end of the 18-mile (29 km) scenic drive. From there, Aquarius Plateau, Bryce Amphitheater, the Henry Mountains, the Vermilion Cliffs and the White Cliffs can be seen. Yellow Creek, where it exits the park in the north-east section, is the lowest part of the park at 6,620 feet (2,020 m).

This has nothing to do with the picture, BTW.
What makes something or someone distinctive? Is it the first impression, whether it catches your eye? Is it how other people treat the person? Do you take someone else's opinion on a person's significance?
This time of year people love to make lists, both about the coming year and the past year. I heard that Zuckerberg is Time's Person of the Year for 2010. I only know this because it was a choice between AARP's magazine and Time Magazine in the doctor's office the other day. Do any of you pay attention to Person of the Year or any other award?
I was rather surprised to end up on a list myself with the New Year. The Oklahoma Truth Council named me in their list of "25 Young Oklahomans to Watch". To me, a good indicator of the worth of an award or mention is who else has won that award. Looking over the other 24 people, I must say that I'm very flattered to be included. I'm honored to count Tiffany and Jamison as friends. Dan and Nathan have been on the opposite side of election ballots from my campaigns a few times, but they have been true gentlemen to set aside differences after the primary. I followed the campaigns of the featured "Kiddie Caucus" from afar and am very interested to see how they play out in session. Sarah Burris' use of SM for Askins was a defining difference between Askins and Edmondson's campaigns. I was surprised not to see Jane or Brian Treat or Jason Carini on the list. I'm not the best judge of age, but isn't Matt Pinnell young enough to be on the list?
Now I've just got to live up to the distinction. :)
P.S. Just had a little perspective added. I just saw on Tiffany's Facebook that she's pregnant! This is way cooler than any old list!
