Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

Oxalis debilis, pink sorrel or dog rose, is a perennial plant and herb of the Oxalidaceae family. Its original distribution is South America, but it has become a very cosmopolitan species, present on all continents except Antarctica.
Male - right - Female - left side. The Red-necked Tanager is a beautiful tanager, with mainly bright grass green underparts; a brilliant scarlet-red chin that broadens over the cheeks, neck, and nape; a dark blue crown and throat; and orange-yellow wing-coverts. The species is restricted to eastern South America; it is almost endemic to eastern Brazil, but the distribution also extends to adjacent eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. This couple was visiting the feeders of SÃtio Espinheiro Negro, São Paulo, Brazil.

Queste quattro mura solitarie hanno cambiato il modo in cui mi sento
Il modo in cui mi sento, sono immobile in piedi
E niente altro importa ora, tu non sei qui
Quindi dove sei? Io ti sto chiamando, mi manchi
Dove altro posso andare? Dove posso andare?
Inseguendoti, inseguendoti
I ricordi diventano polvere, per favore non seppellirci
Sei mia, sei mia
Correre, correre, correre, correre
Correre, correre, correre
Non dovrò scappare da me stesso mai più
Insieme vinceremo tutto
Non dovrò correre, correre, correre, correre
Correre, correre, correre
Non dovrò scappare da me stesso mai più
Sono pronto ad affrontere tutto
Se perdo me stesso, perdo tutto
Ho oltrepassato quella paura che mi ha immobilizzato, sono ancora in piedi
Io corro ancora, sto correndo ancora
E ogni voce che grida dentro la mia testa, mi guida per sempre
Mi guida sempre, verso le luci
Dove altro posso andare? Dove posso andare?
Inseguendoti, inseguendoti
Correre, correre, correre, correre
Correre, correre, correre
Non dovrò scappare da me stesso mai più
Insieme vinceremo tutto
Non dovrò correre, correre, correre, correre
Correre, correre, correre
Non dovrò scappare da me stesso mai più
Sono pronto ad affrontare tutto
Se perdo me stesso, perdo tutto
Se perdo me stesso, perdo tutto
Se perdo me stesso, perdo tutto
Se perdo me stesso, perdo tutto

Location: Northern Peninsular Malaysia
One of the coolest & colorful trapdoor from Malaysia. Liphistiidae are tube-dwelling spiders that construct rudimentary trap-doors. The burrow entrance is sealed off with a thin door made of soil and moss. The door consists of silk trip-lines (see pic) radiating away from the burrow entrance. Once a prey accidentally brushes against these trip-lines, the trapdoor inside the burrow will be alerted (dinner is ready). Adult males sometimes wander in search of females while females rarely leave their burrows.
There three species of giant-size trapdoors in Malaysia i.e., Liphistius malayanus, Liphistius murphyorum and Liphistius desultor. All Malaysian trapdoor spiders are protected by local law. However, there are a few other trapdoors that are cave dwelling for example Liphistius batuensis, and L.kanthanensis.
Distribution: Liphistius, the sole genus in the subfamily Liphistiinae, is found only in Southeast Asia (Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sumatra).

Comb-creasted Jacana
Scientific Name: Irediparra gallinacea
Description: The Comb-crested Jacana, also known as the Lotusbird, has a red fleshy forehead comb, a black crown, back and breast and brown wings. The belly, face and throat are white, and there is a faint yellow tinge around the eye and throat. Both sexes are similar in appearance, but the female is larger than the male, and slightly brighter in colour. In flight, the long legs and toes trail behind the body. Young Jacanas resemble the adult birds, but are rufous to black on the head and nape, and have a rufous-black breast band. The red fleshy comb is much smaller and darker.
Distribution: Comb-crested Jacanas occupy coastal and sub-coastal regions from the Kimberleys, Western Australia, through northern Australia to about Grafton, New South Wales. They are more common in the north of their range. The species also occurs in New Guinea, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Habitat: Comb-crested Jacanas are found in tropical and subtropical freshwater wetlands, including lagoons, billabongs, swamps, lakes, rivers, sewage ponds and dams, providing there is adequate floating vegetation.
Seasonal movements: Comb-crested Jacanas will move to new locations, particularly in response to changes in their current habitat, such as droughts or excessive flooding.
Feeding: The Comb-crested Jacana feeds on aquatic insects, which it seizes from floating vegetation or the surface of the water. It also feeds on seeds and aquatic plants. Birds rarely come to shore. When searching for food, the Comb-crested Jacana bobs its head and flicks its tailed continuously.
Breeding: The female Comb-crested Jacana may mate with several males, while the male alone builds the nest, incubates the eggs and cares for the young. If danger threatens the young birds, the male has the curious habit of picking the chicks up under his wings and carrying them off to safety.
Minimum Size: 20cm
Maximum Size: 23cm
Average size: 21cm
Breeding season: September to May (later in the north than in the east)

Seldom seen in daylight this time of year, Ohio Street's second shift workhorse Y233 delivers a single box car (ex-Amtrak) to the Sonwil Distribution Center, off of Ship Canal Pkwy near Tifft.
Sonwil is one of two customers located on "The Lehigh" (the other being CertainTeed), which connects Ohio Street Yard and CP Draw at the north end to Seneca Yard and the South Buffalo Railway to the south. This connection is used daily by CN L531, the daily Canadian transfer train from Port Robinson, ON to South Buffalo, and a few times a week by CSX to either serve their customers or as part of a wye move to turn covered hoppers for General Mills. (Certain hoppers can only be unloaded from one side inside their plant.) The lone box car here is a far cry from the 10 spots available, which have been known to be completely full at times. Neighboring Sonwil to the left is their newly finished Four Square warehouse, which seems to finally have been completed in the last year. However, despite having been laid two and a half years ago, the brand new track alongside the building remains untouched, having yet to see any rail traffic. In fact, directly behind me was a mound of snow covering the start of that track. The lack of any cars here continues to be a puzzling move, following the discontinuation of rail service in September 2023 at their Depew location on the A Industrial, siding in favor of starting up the new warehouse. With locations connected by rail also in Niagara Falls and West Seneca via NS, there's certainly no lack of options for them. Of note, neither of those locations are rail active either, but the infrastructure exists. In the case of Niagara Falls, the track which leads to that location is presently out of service, near the end of the Junction Industrial line downtown. The building Sonwil occupies was formerly part of the Niagara Falls Nabisco plant, whose silos still stand empty today 20+ years since their last usage. Ironically this time last year in January 2024, the West Seneca location was actually looking to reactivate with NS, citing displeasure with delays in switching by CSX at Tifft. NS cleaned the track up and made sure it was in ready condition, but Sonwil never once received a car there either all year long. The West Seneca location was known to previously receive refrigerated box cars. For one reason or another, it's as if Sonwil can't seem to make up their minds on what they want, despite the railroads' willingness to work with them. In the meantime 'ol reliable at Tifft seems to get the job done just fine. To see some more rail traffic generated on their behalf would be a bright spot in a region which continues to lose a couple customers every year.
