A small section of a very old quilt hand-stitched by my wife's great grandmother.

 

Taken for the "Smile on Saturday" theme of 12/11/2021: FANCY FABRICS.

Male Red Legged Honeycreeper.

 

Interestingly the juvenile male starts off looking like the green female - then gradually develops the male plumage - so has patches of both for a time.

Nothing at all fancy about this image. Standard NS power leading a stack train as it splits a set of modern Vader signals. Except, what would be extremely normal for some was extraordinary for me. Even though this is part of the Norfold Southern Chicago Line, this is actually the Dearborn Division in Port Clinton, Ohio. And this was my first, and only, Dearborn Division train to date.

 

You see, I was in Port Clinton in October 2019 as part of a Lake Erie lighthouse tour. We could hear trains traveling throughout all hours of the day and night, so on the last morning I went out to investigate. I found a quiet morning on the Chicago Sub, but as I walked back to the hotel, I heard this train in the distance. So I made a hasty pace back to the nearest crossing, S. Shirley Rd, and managed to catch this eastbound stacker just before it split the signals. Not perfect, not spectacular, but something I can add to my travels.

No, this Glaucous-winged Gull has not been to a Taylor Swift concert. Those colourful bands are part of the Salish Sea Gull Project which is studying the health and habitat of gulls in the very human impacted Salish Sea (Gulf of Georgia). I took this image at the pier in Crescent Beach, Surrey, B.C. and I reported the sighting to the project.

I don't know what is crazier - the young child and mother on the motor scooter without any safety gear or the colourfully dressed up truck. A typical roadside scene in India.

THANK YOU for all your lovely comments, invitations & awards.

One of the more welcome sights in the early stages of spring in Minnesota is the return of Hooded Merganser ducks. They don’t travel extremely long distances compared to some ducks. Many spend the winter in the southern United States, in places with ice-free ponds, rivers, and swamps.

 

When the ice begins to disappear up north, they head back. In our area of Minnesota, they usually return in March and April, often among the earlier ducks to show up.

 

Right now, this resting female is likely in the midst of scouting for a nesting site. Hooded Mergansers are cavity nesters, which means they look for holes in trees near water. Old woodpecker holes are a favorite. Over the next few weeks, she will settle on a spot, lay a clutch of eggs, and begin incubating them.

 

When it comes to raising the young, the female does most of the work. The male helps early in the season but usually leaves once incubation begins. He’s got more important things to do, like work on his boat or go to Twins’ games with his friends.

 

Hooded Mergansers are full of little surprises that make them way more interesting than their modest size suggests.

 

First, their eyesight is exceptional underwater. These birds are true hunters, not dabblers. When they dive, they can actually adjust their vision to see clearly beneath the surface of the water, almost like putting on a pair of built-in goggles. This helps them manage to chase down small fish with great accuracy.

 

Second, that hood sitting on top of its head isn’t just for show. On males, it’s dramatic and obvious, but even females raise their crest into a spiky fan when they’re alert or agitated. It’s a form of communication, but with feathers.

 

One peculiar aspect is that mergansers sometimes lay eggs in each other’s nests. It’s called “egg dumping,” and a single nest can end up with 20 or more eggs from multiple females, kind of like a sleepover that lasts for weeks.

For Macro Mondays - It's Alive.

The second time I have seen one of these flies, the eyes suggest to me that it is some sort of Horsefly but if anyone can help with the ID I would appreciate it.

Happy Macro Monday!!

I don't know what kind of message the artist was sending with this fancy enamel pin, but I think it's perfect for Pride Month 2025.
