This is a record shot of a Green Heron, which I saw in Newfoundland this past summer, just hours before I was to return to Nova Scotia. I nearly missed posting it, until My recent scan through photos from this past summer.

December 2025: I was very happy to get this young male Green Peafowl (known to many as a peacock) coming down from a tree after roosting overnight. You only have two chances for this, once in the morning when they come down, and at the end of the day when they fly back up to the tree. And this picture shows the beautiful plumage on these magnificent birds - Doi Inthanon, Thailand 🇹ðŸ‡
Admittedly not taken in Manitoba. This one is from Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
This beautiful Green Heron was foraging around one of the small ponds on the resort property where we were staying.
All constructive comments are appreciated. TIA

The sun emerges after a day of rain showers as the Ohio Central's ZVL-1 job has just tied down in the small yard in Zanesville, Ohio after a run from Cambridge. The pair of GP38-2's are parked next to a quartet of SD40's used on the trash trains to New Lexington.

Best guess is Cotinis mutabilis, also known as the figeater beetle (also green fruit beetle or fig beetle). It was at least 3.5 cm long. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Branches bare they are seen
Reaching out, spreading wide

Here is a photo of that elusive optical phenomenon known as the green flash. It usually occurs around sunset and can be enhanced when a mirage stretches the sun to produce discs above the true sun. The light is refracted through the atmosphere and green is the last visible colour of the spectrum before the light disappears. It is usually a short-lived phenomenon, hence the term flash. I apologise to all those who view my photos that are afflicted by red/green colour-blindness as I understand the green upper stripe looks just the same as the orange-yellow lower stripes. The gene for red/green colour-blindness is recessive, and is carried on the X sex chromosome. In mammals, males have just a single X chromosome, and an empty Y chromosome, whereas females have a pair of X chromosomes. If males carry a copy of this gene it will manifest itself and the carrier will be red/green colour-blind. But if females carry a copy, its effects will be masked by a normal (dominant) gene on the other X chromosome, and their vision will be normal. Females would need a copy of the colour-blindness gene on both X chromosomes to be afflicted by colour-blindness. This is why colour-blindness is so much more frequent in males.

It mainly eats fish and other aquatic animals, doing most of its foraging by lurking in a crouched posture at the water's edge, grabbing anything unfortunate enough to come within range.
It may also use an insect, spider, piece of bread or paper as a bait, snapping up any prey large enough to swallow.
Perch-hunting has also been recorded, as it can uses its strong eyesight to spot prey in the water, before diving in feet-first and sometimes completely submerging itself.
More forget me nots in the morning sunshine. I just love these little tiny flowers :)
Beautiful day here in the UK today, hope it's good where you are :)
