The altitude of the ponds slowly decreases, so that the water may flow through the myriad branches of the water-supply channels and be introduced slowly through a notch in one sidewall of each pond. The proper maintenance of the adjacent feeder channel, the side walls and the water-entry notch, the pond's bottom surface, the quantity of water, and the removal of accumulated salt deposits requires close cooperation among the community of users.

Native to Chile and Peru, the beautiful Inca tern (larosterna inca) is recognizable by its red-orange beak and claws, dark gray body and white mustache that looks like an earring. These two were perched on our ship's railings in Iquique, Chile.

"Puente del Inca" is a natural arch that forms a bridge over the Las Cuevas River, a tributary of the Mendoza River. While the bridge has shown signs of deterioration, it remains stable under its weight under present conditions. In the early 20th century, there was a large thermal resort and monastery that used the hot sulphur springs to cure certain illnesses. There was a railway station, which is still standing, and tourists arrived by train to the resort. The spa was tucked into the side of the cliff, almost underneath the natural bridge. Spring floods, landslides and avalanches destroyed the buildings and the bridge is now closed for foot traffic. Not in 2000, when we still could walk over the bridge. - panorama of 2 scanned slides, Minolta X700

One and a quarter hours from Quito, capital of Ecuador, stands the beautiful and little known colonial Hacienda of San Agustín de Callo. Built on the site of an Inca palace, one of the two most important archaeological Inca sites in Ecuador.

To my mind, Inca Tern is among the most beautiful bird species on the planet. So it was a highlight to see these birds on my trip to Peru, at Pucusana south of Lima.

A spectacular little trail near Machu Picchu takes us in half an hour to the Inca Bridge. This suspension bridge could be raised or lowered to control access to the citadel.

Un petit sentier spectaculaire à proximité du Machu Picchu nous amène en 1/2 heure au Pont de l'Inca. Ce pont suspendu pouvait être levé ou baissé pour contrôler l'accès à la citadelle.

This species of dove is quite a bit smaller than some of its cousins like the Mourning Dove and Collared Dove. Its small size and "scaled" plumage make it quite distinctive and easy to identify.

We found this one in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas.

 

Inca is one of the Dogs I have the pleasure to walk.

After the beautiful Millie (black lab) passed away the owners got another Dog to keep Saffie (black lab) company

Inca is the polar opposite of Millie she was very much a lady never ran through puddles and just trotted by my side.

Inca is so full of energy and fun I love her just as much as I loved Millie.

I feel so lucky to be part of their lives, fingers crossed one day I will have a Dog of my own.

Cold rainy, snowy day made for lots of time to re-edit images of years past. Built around 1450 and still looks amazing.

This is an Inca dove. These are very small doves somewhere between the size of a sparrow and an American robin. They like it warm and inhabit southern states from Texas over to California and throughout Mexico. If temperatures drop too low at night, they'll do what's called pyramid roosting, huddling in a group up to 3 doves high. That'll keep you toasty 😁

One of four Inca Doves finds a sunlit spot near my campsite at Goose Island State Park, Lamar, Texas.

In Machu Picchu (as seen from the top of Huayna Picchu). In Peru.

The Collared Inca is a large hummingbird and an extremely quick flier that generally stays below the canopy of moss-laden cloudforests. Both males and females have white outer tail feathers and large white chest patches, both in strong contrast to its otherwise dark plumage. While haunting its dark, understory habitat, its generally dark plumage keeps it well hidden, and the first sign of its presence is the flashing open of its mostly white tail. identifies itself in the forest by flashing open its mostly white tail. It prefers long, pendulous, tubular flowers, hovering underneath to feed. Unlike the majority of hummingbirds, the Collared Inca appears especially prone to join mixed species foraging flocks of passerines, at least for short periods of time. Several studies have investigated its reproductive biology, but there is much to learn about this large, flashy, Andean hummingbird. Picture taken at Zuro Loma, Ecuador.

We can only be admiring in front of these blocks of stone which fit together to the millimeter like in a giant puzzle. The Incas knew how to build!

Esta figura facial de un Inca se puede apreciar sobre la ladera derecha del camino que va al Fuerte de Samaipata. Por el momento no se sabe si es una figura hecha por la mano del hombre o es un accidente natural.

Located behind the colonial church, the archaeological site of Chinchero also includes well preserved Inca terraces.

The Inca Dove lives across the United States Southwest. It resides in most of Texas as well as major portions of New Mexico and Arizona, as well as Mexico and bits of Central America.

 

It is identifiable by its feathery appearances of scales. I have found it in scrubby terrains as well as palm forested areas. And I understand this species is as amenable to yards and parks as other doves.

 

I found this bird at Santa Ana NWR in South Texas.
