Here's a female Hooded Merganser with HER crayfish. You can see the object here is to break those legs off for easier swallowing. Her hood is a bit flat here but when fully fluffed, she's a knockout. The first sign I get for female vs immature/nonbreeding male is the yellowy color in her beak, while the male's is solid black. Second is the deep brown eye, vs. the male's golden eye.
The first time I eventually realized when I was looking at a nonbreeding male, he was with some breeders and seemed to be practicing his moves and I thought it was a misguided female. Only later did I get it.

The long shadows resulting from late afternoon Sun added interest to the photo.
A nightly NR-2 is led South across Stoddard Cove by a trio of matching, freshly repainted P&W units. SD70M-2 4301 leads the way with B40-8 4002 and B40-8W 4007 trailing second and third. After a day of shooting properly painted P&W units in the New Haven area, I was planning on spending the following day in Plainfield. When I got there, however, I couldn't find a single unit still in the classic P&W colors, so I decided to return to New Haven that same night to shoot more classic P&Ws the following day. I did, however, set up for a shot of the nightly NR-2 when I saw them putting together their train together in the yard so that my trip up to Plainfield wouldn't have been in vain. Gales Ferry, CT
Nine years ago in August of 2008, my mom took me and my brother to this very location on a visit to my aunt's house who lived in Gales Ferry at the time. We shot the same train, NR-2, which ran in daylight at the time, heading South across the cove with a B23-7R in the lead and a Geep bringing up the rear. I was only eleven at the time, so it was cool to return to the same location almost a decade later.
We had another beautiful day here in Sydney today, so I went for a walk around the neighbourhood. I called in at another neighbour's garden and spotted this bee flying around one of the dahlias. It had so much pollen that I think it was having trouble flying. It was hovering around so long that I managed to get a few photos in flight. The last one didn't really turn out, but it is one of the first photos that I have got of a bee front on. These were taken with my 75-300 mm lens and the 36 mm Kenko extension tube.
Wildlife in a lockdown garden. Not sure what bee this is yet, but its tiny only about 10mm in length. Is this Macropis europaea on Lysimachia nummulites.

Thank you all for your nice comments on my Spider yesterday. Some of you asked how I relocated them. I put gloves on (since they can have a bad bite), took a flower pot and cardboard. With the cardboard I scraped as many of them into the flower pot and the took the pot into the woods. So now you know ;-)
Have a fantastic day/evening! Take care

I've not been out for a photo trip for a while now, just local walks and was looking back at images taken earlier in the year. I posted a shot of this Pine Marten at the time, but I think this one is better.

Amazing the transformation in 24 hours. The final 3 whorls are completely open, and the little green sidekick has lost much of its color.

This nearly adult Magpie (note slightly shorter than full length tail feathers) was keeping a close eye on me but yet still content to show off his beautiful coloring.
