Ce cormoran a attrapé ce poisson plus gros que son ventre. Pour la petite histoire, le poisson a réussi à s'échapper et quelques instants plus tard, un pygargue l'a croqué. Pas de chance pour le cormoran, ...et pour le poisson !
Les hérons sont des pêcheurs extrêmement voraces, capables d'ingérer des proies de taille impressionnante. Ce héron pourpré a pêché un énorme poisson qu'il s'apprête à engloutir lentement, avec précaution, sans risque de s'étouffer. Un travail délicat qui lui donnera l'occasion d'être rassasié pour un bon moment.
Herons are extremely voracious fishers, capable of ingesting prey of impressive size. This purple heron has caught a huge fish, which it is about to slowly and carefully devour without risk of choking. A delicate task that will give it the opportunity to be satisfied for a good while.

J'étais à l'Île Notre-Dame de Montréal espérant retrouver une présence exceptionnelle que nous avions depuis quelques jours avec le Bihoreau violacé que je vous présenterai bientôt. En marchant près de la petite baie où je l'avais vu très bien dissimulé plus tôt pour ensuite perdre sa trace j'ai aperçu deux Tyrans tritri qui semblaient préoccupés par quelque chose quand j'entendi des cris forts et incessants venant du sol. Mon regard se dirigea vers le bas et je vis cet adorable oisillon tombé du nid, une première pour moi de voir un jeune de cette espèce. Je suis tombée en adoration avec ses petites plumes de duvet sur la tête et le dos, il était si mignon. Un sentiment d'amour m'envahit. Tombant sous le charme de ce que la nature m'offrait comme cadeau, je suis restée à l'observer quelques temps. J'étais touchée de voir les parents venir lui donner la becquée. Des scènes qui resteront gravées dans ma mémoire toute une vie!
Je vous remercie pour votre passage. vos favoris et vos commentaires. Passez une très belle journée dominicale!
I was at Notre-Dame Island in Montreal hoping to find an exceptional presence that we had had for a few days with the Purple-crowned Night Heron that I will introduce to you soon. While walking near the small bay where I had seen it not so well hidden earlier and then lost track of it, I saw two Eastern Kingbirds who seemed preoccupied by something when I heard loud and incessant bird calls coming from the ground. My gaze went down and I saw this adorable chick fallen from the nest, a first for me to see a young of this species. I fell in love with its little down feathers on its head and back, it was so cute. A feeling of love enveloped me. Falling under the spell of what nature offered me as a gift, I stayed to observe the young bird for a while. I was touched to see the parents come to feed it. Scenes that will remain engraved in my memory for a lifetime!
Thank you for your visit, your favorites, and your comments.
Happy Sunday to all of you!

Le paysan en tracteur rammassait le foin dans un champ ce qui a pour effet d'attirer de nombreux oiseaux saisissant les opportunités offertes par le dérangement des insectes ou des petits rongeurs.
The farmer's tractor was raking hay in a field, attracting numerous birds which seized the opportunity offered by the disturbance of insects or small rodents.

Normandy (French: Normandie, Norman: Normaundie, from Old French Normanz, plural of Normant, originally from the word for "northman" in several Scandinavian languages) is one of the 18 regions of France, roughly referring to the historical Duchy of Normandy.
Normandy is divided into five administrative departments: Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne, and Seine-Maritime. It covers 30,627 square kilometres (11,825 sq mi), comprising roughly 5% of the territory of metropolitan France. Its population of 3.37 million accounts for around 5% of the population of France. The inhabitants of Normandy are known as Normans, and the region is the historic homeland of the Norman language.
The historical region of Normandy comprised the present-day region of Normandy, as well as small areas now part of the departments of Mayenne and Sarthe. The Channel Islands (French: Îles Anglo-Normandes) are also historically part of Normandy; they cover 194 km² and comprise two bailiwicks: Guernsey and Jersey, which are British Crown dependencies over which Queen Elizabeth II reigns as Duke of Normandy.
Normandy's name comes from the settlement of the territory by mainly Danish and Norwegian Vikings ("Northmen") from the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th century between King Charles III of France and the Viking jarl Rollo. For a century and a half following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Normandy and England were linked by Norman and Frankish rulers.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel (Norman: Mont Saint Miché, English: Saint Michael's Mount) is an island and mainland commune in Normandy, France.
The island is located about one kilometer (0.6 miles) off the country's northwestern coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches and is 7 hectares (17 acres) in area. The mainland part of the commune is 393 hectares (971 acres) in area so that the total surface of the commune is 400 hectares (988 acres).
As of 2015, the island has a population of 50.
The island has held strategic fortifications since ancient times and since the 8th century AD has been the seat of the monastery from which it draws its name. The structural composition of the town exemplifies the feudal society that constructed it: on top, God, the abbey and monastery; below, the great halls; then stores and housing; and at the bottom, outside the walls, houses for fishermen and farmers.
The commune's position—on an island just a few hundred metres from land—made it accessible at low tide to the many pilgrims to its abbey, but defensible as an incoming tide stranded, drove off, or drowned would-be assailants. The Mont remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War; a small garrison fended off a full attack by the English in 1433. The reverse benefits of its natural defence were not lost on Louis XI, who turned the Mont into a prison. Thereafter the abbey began to be used regularly as a jail during the Ancien Régime.
One of France's most recognisable landmarks, visited by more than 3 million people each year, the Mont Saint-Michel and its bay are on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Over 60 buildings within the commune are protected in France as monuments historiques.

On the way to the Col du Granon...
Wednesday 13 July: Stage 11: Albertville - Col du Granon Serre Chevalier, 152 km
In the climb to the Galibier Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard attacked yellow jersey Tadej Pogacar many times. The Slovenian always answered the attacks with brio and attacked also! Former Tour winner (2018) Geraint Thomas came back every time afterwards.
The grueling Col de Granon, which has not been visited by the Tour de France since 1986 (Lemond/Hinault), has played the part assigned to it when it turned the race on its head halfway through this 109th Tour edition. Yep... that was a bit of a shock those last five kilometers. Tadej Pogacar, who had been thought unapproachable, suddenly fell through the ice. He, first of all, had least foreseen that coming. A hunger knock (fringale) more than likely. The yellow jersey lost three minutes in less than five kilometers to the winner and main opponent Jonas Vingegaard who turned the Tour upside down and became the new Tour leader!

With Louison Bobet, Jean Dotto (who is caught up), the Swiss Fritz Schär, Jean Malléjac, Stan Ockers (the later stage winner), a smiling Belgian Richard Van Genechten and Lucien Lazaridès, who is the victim of a hunger knock aka 'fringale'. ..

Wednesday, July 13: Stage 11: Albertville - Col du Granon Serre Chevalier, 152 km
Eddy Merckx does not immediately have to fear for his status of the greatest ever. After all TADEJ POGACAR (1998) doesn't seem to be a cannibal (yet). The biggest defeat of his early career awaited him at the Col de Granon. 11.3 km at 9.2 percent of which the last five km turned out to be an agony. He did not answer Jonas Vingegaard's attack, but kept the wheel of teammate Rafal Majka. Tactically a defensible choice, but when the Polish helper rode a bicycle length away from Pogi, all alarm bells went off. The verdict - loss of the yellow jersey in favor of the Dane - is now well known. The explanation, that's what Pogacar had to look for after the stage. “I have no idea what happened to me,” he said. “Didn't I eat or drink enough ? (a fringale) Did I had to answer too many Jumbo-Visma attacks? I don't know."
