247) Intermediate Egret
Intermediate Egret, Mesophoyx intermedia, Bangau
It is a resident breeder from east Africa across the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia and Australia. This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the great egret and smaller white egrets like the little egret and cattle egret, though nearer to little than great. All-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. The intermediate egret stalks its prey methodically in shallow coastal or fresh water, including flooded fields. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans and insects. It often nests in colonies with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs.
Tiada nama khas tempatan untuk spesis ini. Ia secara amnya dipanggil bangau. Saiznya antara Bangau Besar dan Bangau Kerbau. Seperti bangau lain, ia adalah pelawat tetap dari Afrika Timur yang terbang melintasi India untuk ke Asia Tenggara dan Australia.

With every engine in notch 8, eastbound NS loaded coal train 740 rumbles past the Summit intermediate signal and towards the summit of the Dry Fork near Bandy, VA, on the afternoon of October 6, 2018.
As we enter my yearly dry spell of taking new photos (thanks, work, and also the sun), this is when I look back on my year and find some shots I didn't post for whatever reason.
One of my favourite parts of this year was visiting the Big Sandy in Kentucky. It was sort of unplanned, as my Roanoke and T1 adventures were the primary purpose of the trip. This and the BIP ended up being nice add-ons that fit into my timeline very well. So, off I went to Kentucky.
I followed a mere handful of trains when I was down there. My second and final day, I chased a southbound to Paintsville before letting it continue, as I had to head to Parkersburg before too long. Scanner traffic suggested another train was coming though, and so a very short wait later and I had myself a northbound. Three bongas and a GP40 - definitely a bit of a surprise. My first shot, I missed as they got the jump on me, my second worked out, but my third, I wanted something new.
My previous runs to CH Cabin had me passing a set of intermediates near Richardson, KY. I hadn't had a chance to catch them previously, but I had shot CH Cabin already. So, hey, why not? Awkward overcast valley light aside, it was a pretty neat little spot. Can't say no to those.

The water levels at Knuckey Lagoon were quite low, but apparently just right for the several Egrets that were busily hunting prey.
I've always been fond of these Southern Railway-style intermediates with the offset lower head, but the few that remain seem to be in tough places to shoot. Either they're almost inaccessible, or like this pair there's just a very narrow window of time for when the sun angle works.
Of course, this pair is on borrowed time anyway with NS filing to tear out the CTC between Birmingham and Sheffield.

Evening and the light failing when I spotted this intermediate egret. It was already hunkered down in readiness for the cold night ahead
An Intermediate Egret stalks Cumberland Lagoon where we stopped for morning tea. Cumberland, Queensland.
Intermediate egret
This species looks similar to the great egret but smaller in size with neck length a little less than body length, has a slightly domed head, and a shorter and thicker bill.
Location- Jorhat, Assam, India
Moving at a blistering 30 MPH, an eastbound manifest has only the illusion of speed, as it works it's way up the grade approaching Shawmut Az
Here are a bunch of thin, parallel sills and a few that turn into dikes at random angles (at the left). Notice how the right area with the most intrusions is surrounded by the palest sedimentary rock which matches the pale baked zones in the big dike posted two pictures away.
At home. We usually have one visiting the neighbourhood this time of year. But I've seen at least three in the area. Such a special guest at home in Humpty Doo, NT.
Totally in Photography Class at the moment (1/14/16 16:22 EST). We're posting stuff to Tumblr, but I'm waiting for everyone to hurry up.
There's a secret stash of LEGO in the Photography Studio, and I know where it is. Sadly, it's not mine though.
Andrew Jackson Intermediate School was an intermediate school located on the east side of Detroit, Michigan which operated from 1928 to 2007. Nearly all Detroit citizen know about this school, but its history is slowly being forgotten.
Andrew Jackson Intermediate School was designed by B.C. Wetzel & Co. and was built in 1928. Detroit Urbex highlights this school as “one of Detroit's more unique schools in terms of design”. The layout is fairly typical of school buildings designed in the 1920s. The school held up a capacity of 2,200 students.
Throughout its history, Andrew Jackson Intermediate School operated as an intermediate school and a middle school for Detroit Public School. Overall the school was closed in 2007 due to low enrollment and low test scores. Today the school now sits abandoned.
I miss it all so much already.
The core of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, backlights one of 16 remaining semaphore blades along the Raton and Glorietta Subdivisions. The WB signal indicates a clear; however, the next train would pass through here almost 12 hours after this photo was taken: stark contrast to the traffic volumes this route used to see.
