Crossbills again - I went back for more! In the trees this time.

Going big on this F-unit Friday. Santa Fe's hundreds of red and silver F's are the face of American railroading, and the tradition continued in the second generation with the purchase of nine massive FP45 units from EMD. These 20-cylinder, 3600 hp, six motor, steam generator equipped cowl units were the epitome of streamlined aesthetic, melding the earlier era of industrial design with the more utilitarian look of the modern era. Only 14 units were built, with the others going to the Milwaukee Road. Here is the preserved ATSF 95, seen in July 2008 on display at Barstow CA.

Interesting to note that the FP45s were constructed only three years after E-unit production ended.

The acrobatic male blackbird has now been joined in the garden by a female. Could love be in the air?

I spotted these deer with different colours together at Dunham Massey yesterday, before reading your write up Tim on different colours of fallow deer. I thought it might be of some interest to you Tim.

This orange-vented mason bee is another member of the garden 'Inula club". She is noticeably smaller than the leaf-cutter bees with a more rounded back end and a disproportionately large head.
