I can easily go for a walk where I live now and can count well over 100 individual rabbits in a space of half hour. All are in good condition with no signs or scars of that dreadful myxomatosis disease. With patients you can get fairly close to them in which to take a few photos.

Macaws are perhaps the most easily recognizable birds in the parrot family. Colorful and entertaining, these birds have been kept as pets for hundreds of years.These birds are characters, each having different personalities, likes, and dislikes. Due to their size, macaws can be challenging to care for, but they are loyal companions who are worth the time commitment. Here are a few fun facts about these playful members of the parrot family.When properly taken care of, some macaw species, such as blue and gold macaws can live for an average of 60 years, and many have been recorded to live for up to 80 years or even more.Those who are interested in adopting a macaw are strongly cautioned to make sure that they are willing to commit enough time to care for their pet. It is not at all uncommon for these birds to outlive their owners, so make the same provisions for their care as you would for any other dependent.

 

Nothing beats seeing this easily recognizable plant in spring from April to June when it forms a dense carpet of blue (sometimes white or pink) fragrant flowers over a woodland floor and the ''bluebell woods'' are often considered to be some of the most spectacular displays in Europe.

Treecreeper - Certhia familiaris

 

The Eurasian treecreeper or common treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) is a small passerine bird also known in the British Isles, where it is the only living member of its genus, simply as treecreeper. It is similar to other treecreepers, and has a curved bill, patterned brown upperparts, whitish underparts, and long stiff tail feathers which help it creep up tree trunks. It can be most easily distinguished from the similar short-toed treecreeper, which shares much of its European range, by its different song.

 

The Eurasian treecreeper has nine or more subspecies which breed in different parts of its range in temperate Eurasia. This species is found in woodlands of all kinds, but where it overlaps with the short-toed treecreeper in western Europe it is more likely to be found in coniferous forests or at higher altitudes. It nests in tree crevices or behind bark flakes, and favours introduced giant sequoia as nest sites where they are available. The female typically lays five or six pink-speckled white eggs in the lined nest, but eggs and chicks are vulnerable to attack by woodpeckers and mammals, including squirrels.

 

The Eurasian treecreeper is insectivorous and climbs up tree trunks like a mouse, to search for insects which it picks from crevices in the bark with its fine curved bill. It then flies to the base of another tree with a distinctive erratic flight. This bird is solitary in winter, but may form communal roosts in cold weather.

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.

The Scrub Tanager is a common open country bird of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes. Due to its preference for scrub and bushy areas, it is most easily found in dry intermontane ‘rainshadow’ valleys but is expanding into more humid areas in the wake of human disturbance.

 

The Scrub Tanager is identified by its silvery greenish plumage, rust-colored cap and black mask. In further contrast to this typically gregarious genus, the Scrub Tanager most often is encountered as solitary pairs.

The Hyacinth Macaw is the largest parrot in the world and easily one of the most spectacular. It is an enormous bird weighing on average 1.5 kilograms (3.5 pounds) and is completely blue save its dark bill and bare yellow orbital ring and stripe at base of its lower mandible. It is completely dependent on the fruits of a number of palm species and has a necessarily massive bill to aid in the cracking of the tough exterior. Due to its dependence on palm fruit its range is regulated by the presence and abundance of its preferred species and is distributed in north central and south central Brazil into extreme north west Paraguay where it can be found in palm savannas, Mauritia palm stands, open dry woodland, gallery forest and the edge of humid lowland forest. Status - Vulnerable.

 

It was a rare moment to find this beautiful flock! Here you see 5 macaws but there were more than 20 in the tree!

 

Have a peaceful new week!

The Carolina Wren is easily recognized by the white stripe above each eye and its distinctive "tail-up" posture that it assumes as it flits about the bushes. Energetic and vocal this little wren has one of the loudest songs of any small bird. Males sing their “tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea." song hundreds of times a day, all year long. One particularly busy bird was recorded singing almost 3,000 times in a single day!

  

Carolina wrens form lifelong pair bonds and pairs often stay together for years. The birds move and feed together, where you see one, you will usually see its mate foraging close by. The pair works together to build a nest, which can be in a tree hole or on a branch, but Carolina wrens are well known for choosing to nest in man made structures such as mail boxes, door wreaths, flower pots, or even a cardboard box in a garage. They use sticks, hair, feathers, and anything that looks suitable—even shed snake skins. They often build multiple nests then select one to raise their chicks.

  

When feeding, a Carolina wren hops around on the ground and in the underbrush turning over dead leaves, and probing cracks and crannies for spiders, insects and larvae. They also eat fruit and berries, but rarely come to bird feeders.

  

A female lays 3-4 eggs, then incubates them for 14 days, during which time the male brings her food. The parents feed the chicks in the nest for two weeks, then, after the chicks fledge, the parents continue to feed them for a further two weeks. A pair of Carolina wrens can have three broods in a year.

 

I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.

 

Medium-large dark brown honeyeater with fine white streaking. Easily distinguished from Red Wattlebird by the lack of pink wattles below the eye and by the lack of a yellow lower belly. Found in southeastern Australia, this species typically inhabits scrub and dry coastal woodlands. Often found near flowering Banksia. It is typically very active and vocal with a rough, loud, squawking call. (eBird)

Prohodna Cave is one of the most famous and easily accessible caves in Bulgaria. It is located 2km away from the village of Karlukovo in a picturesque area with natural beauties and historical sights. The cave is a natural rocky bridge with a length of 262 m. There are 2 entrances - large and small. From the small entrance with a height of about 35 m, a path passes through the entire cave and goes through the big entrance (the largest cave in Bulgaria - 45m).

 

The cave is naturally illuminated by the huge entrances and natural openings in the attic - two holes. The holes that makes the cave unique. Located side by side, with the same almond-shaped shape, looks amazingly like huge eyes that seem to be staring at visitors. It is no coincidence that the local population calls them "the eyes of the Lord" and sometimes the "Devil's Eyes". Viewed at a certain angle, they even look like a face looking down, and in wet weather they seem to hey cry. Faced with this natural phenomenon, one remains amazed and slightly excited - the incredible symmetry and layout of the eye brings awe and a sense of mystery. The cave was declared a natural landmark in 1962.

Underneath~I bruise easily---

===Comparisons are easily done

Once you've had a taste of perfection

Like an apple hanging from a tree

I picked the ripest one

I still got the seed

You said move on

Where do I go

I guess second best

Is all I will know

Cause when I'm with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do if

You were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer

In the middle of winter

Like a hard candy

With a surprise center

How do I get better

Once I've had the best

You said there's

Tons of fish in the water

So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips

I taste your mouth

He pulled me in

I was disgusted with myself

Cause when I'm with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do if

You were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into your eyes

You're the best

And yes I do regret

How I could let myself

Let you go

Now the lesson's learned

I touched it I was burned

Oh I think you should know

Cause when I'm with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do if

You were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into your eyes

Looking into your eyes

Looking into your eyes

Oh won't you walk through

And bust in the door

And take me away

Oh no more mistakes

Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay===

Florida’s Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna) is a songbird found throughout rural areas of Florida. Its breeding range covers most of eastern North America and parts of South America. Experts say it is difficult to distinguish between the Eastern and Western species as it can be determined only by voice and location. Seventeen subspecies of the Eastern Meadowlark are documented.

 

Actually, the meadowlark is not a lark at all. It is a member of the blackbird family (Icteridae) which also includes cowbirds and orioles. Meadowlarks are easily identified by the bright yellow throat and belly. However, the most distinguishing mark in adults is the black “V” on its chest. It can often be seen on a fence post belting out its clear, melodious songs and whistles.

 

Adult birds weigh just over five ounces, are seven to ten inches tall with a wingspan of 14 to 16 inches. Both sexes are similar in size, although females are normally smaller with a shorter wingspan.

 

This bird prefers grassy fields, pastures, cultivated fields, golf courses and other open habitats. It is a good friend to the farmer/rancher and a bug-eating machine. Insects comprise more than 75 percent of its diet, with grains and seeds making up the balance. It is especially fond of grasshoppers and crickets, as well as insect larvae and grubs. It feeds on the ground, picking insects from the surface or probing the soil to reveal its prey. Meadowlarks also eat the seeds of many weeds.

 

Males have two, sometimes three, mates at a time. Females build nests on the ground using soft woven grasses and hide them in the taller grass of an open field. The nest usually has an arched “roof” with a side entrance. A clutch of two to six grayish-white eggs speckled with brown and lavender may be laid any time from late March through July. Eggs are incubated by the female for 13 to 15 days. The young fledge at 12 days. The parents continue to tend them for about two weeks until they are able to fly. Juveniles are similar to adults, but the black “V” becomes prominent in adulthood. The meadowlark has been known to live ten years in captivity.

 

I found this one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.

  

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 54063

Easily mistaken for tachina fera.

It was a challenge trying to get a half decent shot of these easily spooked birds! 5 hrs well spent walking the fields and coastline at Fingeringhoe.

The Carolina Wren is easily recognized by the white stripe above each eye and its distinctive "tail-up" posture that it assumes as it flits about the bushes. Energetic and vocal this little wren has one of the loudest songs of any small bird. Males sing their “tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea." song hundreds of times a day, all year long. One particularly busy bird was recorded singing almost 3,000 times in a single day!

More brightly colored than most wrens, and with a rich musical song, Carolina Wrens are common in open woods and backyards in the southeast. There they busily explore brush piles and low tangles. The adults live in pairs all year, and they may "duet" at any season, with the female giving a chattering note while the male sings. The northern edge of this species' range varies over time: it gradually expands northward during series of mild years, then gets knocked southward again by very severe winters.

 

Fond this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.

Don't think sorry's easily said

Don't try turning tables instead

You've taken lots of chances before

But I ain't gonna give anymore

Don't ask me

That's how it goes

'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking

 

Don't say words you're gonna regret

Don't let the fire rush to your head

I've heard the accusation before

And I ain't gonna take any more

Believe me

The sun in your eyes

Made some of the lies worth believing

 

I am the eye in the sky

Looking at you

I can read your mind

I am the maker of rules

Dealing with fools

I can cheat you blind

And I don't need to see any more to know that

I can read your mind

 

Don't leave false illusions behind

Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind

So find another fool like before

Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing

Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

 

I am the eye in the sky

Looking at you

I can read your mind

I am the maker of rules

Dealing with fools

I can cheat you blind

And I don't need to see any more to know that

I can read your mind

It is unbelievable, how careless the industry can be. They can easily destroy the most beautiful and pristine piece of coast for their explorations, and once the profits are gone, they just leave everything behind. This is an old coal mine terminal, that is left there.

Also known at the Oriental Tit. They were easily found up in pine forests at Doi Lang West in Northern Thailand.

Easily one of my favorite spots I went to in Colorado was Mt Wilson. This one does not show the Schmidt ranch below the mountain but I love how the sunlight caused the peak to glow with a golden tone.

 

Life is a dream...

A large duck species easily identified due to their bright white and brown plumage. The birds are migratory from South Eastern Europe and much of Central Asia during winters to India. They are not so common in our state, but common in our neighbouring western state.

 

Found them in a shallow lake in the middle of a grassland where there was a group of 6 along with dozens of Pintails, Garganeys and Pochards. The rest of the ducks flew away by our presence, but these Shelducks stayed put cautiously and after a short while ignored us entirely. The birds were chasing each other and seemed to have fun for a short while. The presence of 3 large raptors distracted us and the birds which flocked together to probably feel more secure.

 

Thanks in advance for your wonderful feedback and likes.

DISTINCTIVE WADER is easily recognized by its dumpy, rounded body, rather short legs, and its incredibly long, straight bill. The latter is used to probe vertically downwards in soft mud, in the manner of a sewing machine. Seen at the scrap Sandwich Bay, and only for a brief few seconds before disappearing into the long grasses again.

An image of a spoonbill from Ding Darling is in the first comment section.

 

From Wikipedia - The roseate spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) (sometimes placed in its own genus Ajaja) is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family, Threskiornithidae. It is a resident breeder in South America mostly east of the Andes, and in coastal regions of the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, the Gulf Coast of the United States and on central Florida's Atlantic coast Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge adjoined with NASA Kennedy Space Center.

 

This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders.

 

In the United States, a popular place to observe roseate spoonbills is "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Roseate spoonbills must compete for food with snowy egrets, great egrets, tricolored herons and American white pelicans.

 

The roseate spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying two to five eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler. The bill is yellowish or pinkish.

 

If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant :-)

Although easily overlooked, the Motor Inn Parking Garage on the southwest corner of Monroe and 4th St., is one of downtown Springfield's more interesting structures as it represents the marriage of Art Deco architecture in the form of a two-story parking garage. Thought to be Springfield's first indoor parking garage, the 1920's-era building had parking on the second floor. It was almost torn down in the mid-2000's for downtown housing, but was saved and has since been restored. It now is a combination of retail and office space. The iconic neon Motor Inn Parking sign seen on the building's 4th street side was restored during the renovation.

 

The Motor Inn Parking Garage is a contributing property within the Central Springfield Historic District. The Central Springfield Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1978. The boundaries of the district were expanded in 1986 and 2015.

Cushendun (from Irish Cois Abhann Duinne, meaning 'beside the River Dun') is a small coastal village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It sits off the A2 coast road between Cushendall and Ballycastle. It has a sheltered harbour and lies at the mouth of the River Dun and Glendun, one of the nine Glens of Antrim. The Mull of Kintyre in Scotland is only about 15 miles away across the North Channel and can be seen easily on clear days. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 138 people.

 

It is part of Causeway Coast and Glens district.

 

The nearby hamlet of Knocknacarry is located approximately 0.6 miles to the west.

 

Cushendun village, was designed for Ronald McNeill, the Conservative MP and author later Lord Cushendun in the style of a Cornish village by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis. He is buried in the Church of Ireland graveyard near his nationalist cousin Ada or Ide McNeill, Roger Casement's friend and admirer who died in 1959.

 

Since 1954 most of the village and the parkland around Glenmona to the north has been owned by the National Trust. Cushendun's picturesque coastal setting in the heart of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, together with its architectural inheritance, resulted in designation as a Conservation area in 1980.

 

The nearby caves of Cushendun have been used as backdrop in the series Game of Thrones.

EASILY DETECTED BY ITS LOUD ALARM CALL, or by drilling timber with its bill. Could see flashes of red and black, behind

 

the blind side of this tall tree stump, and guessed what I had

found, waited what seemed forever, then it appeared over the top, and two shots later it was gone, but job done, and I was very pleased to have one in focus. These woodpecker's are doing quite well in southern Britain, as they have learnt to frequent peanut feeders in gardens, and its a real joy to me to see them in woods or my garden.

THANK YOU, so good to see you visit, please leave a comment, witch is very appreciated and find encouraging, will return to see your images! ........ ....

Stay safe and God bless... Tomx.

Unlike the orange-crowned warbler that can easily hide its orange crown, the golden-crowned kinglet's golden crown is always on full display. This golden-crowned kinglet is catching gnats and no-see-ums in the wooded grove that acts like a little oasis for migrating songbirds in the open prairie habitat around here. After spending the summer in Canada's vast boreal forest, these hardy golden-crowned kinglets sometimes winter right here in Winneshiek County since they can survive temperatures to -40 F even though they are barely bigger than a hummingbird.

Train 602 has the Continental Divide behind and Marias Pass easily conquered with all this power.

A great egret easily downed this fish. Pond 5 was a good place to fish. I saw several go down the hatch.

When you visit Skogafoss waterfall you can easily get overawed by it's sheer size, the power of the water and the deafening roar.

It's a beast of nature that measures 82ft across with a spectacular drop of over 200ft, it certainly gets your pulse racing the closer you get.

The pounding thud as the water hits the floor, the mist and spray and that sense of power was definitely something I wanted to somehow portray in my images.

I soon realised the only way to get that shot was to zoom in close to base of the waterfall and hope some mad fool would get close enough to give the image some scale.

Thankfully this kind gent made his move and headed for an instant soaking amongst the mist... what a legend!

You can easily see the fused petals on flowers like these -- five of them.

 

Thank you for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

I could have easily put some horses in this stable...but, there are so many other uses for a beautiful barn! Summer is right around the corner and what better way to use a barn than for a celebration of some sort! Weddings, birthdays, showers, or just any get together!

Hello Everyone!

 

The Ram's Head Lady Slipper is very small, about the size of the end of my thumb. They are tough to spot because of their diminutive size and because they easily camouflage into the forest setting. These native orchids are rare and are found specifically within coniferous forests and bogs. This was found along the Brokenhead Wetland Interpretive Trail which is found within the boreal forest about an hour's drive north of Winnipeg. This native orchid is listed as "of special concern" in every state and province for which it occurs.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day and weekend!
