This is an album cover I shot and edited for Fry Jones' upcoming album called The Intermediate. This was the largest expansion photo I've ever done and the hardest. But I am happy with how it turned out.
Keoladeo National Park is the most famous birding park in India. It is home to more than 230 species of birds and hosts thousands of birds during the migratory flights each year. It is a man made wetland and a World Heritage Site.
Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India
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. It is about 56–72 cm (22–28 in) long with a 105–115 cm (41–45 in) wingspan and weighs c. 400 g (14 oz),[3] with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill. Breeding birds may have a reddish or black bill, greenish yellow gape skin, loose filamentous plumes on their breast and back, and dull yellow or pink on their upper legs (regional variations). The sexes are similar. --- Wiki

The Buick LeSabre is a full-size car made by General Motors from 1959-2005. For many years, the LeSabre was considered as a full-size car, carrying the lowest base price in the Buick lineup. Prior to 1959, this position had been retained by the full-size Buick Special model (1936–58); in 1959 the LeSabre replaced the Special, a nameplate that was reintroduced in 1961 for Buick's line of compact cars. The name originated with the 1951 GM Le Sabre show car designed by Harley Earl; that car is often mistakenly attributed to the Buick division, but in fact it was presented as a GM vehicle without reference to a specific GM division.[citation needed] Buick closely related their 1956-1957 models to the GM LeSabre by replicating the top section of the rear wing into their design. The word LeSabre is French for sword.
Fifth generation (1977–1985)
The 1977 Buick LeSabre and other GM B-body full-sized cars were considerably smaller and lighter than their predecessors to the tune of losing 700-800 pounds of weight and overall length of 10 to 15 inches (380 mm). The full-sized cars were the beginning of a "corporate-wide" downsizing of vehicles in order to improve fuel economy ratings following the 1973-74 energy crisis that would filter down to intermediates in 1978, personal-luxury cars in 1979 and compacts in 1980 with subsequent downsizings of each line of vehicles scheduled in subsequent years.
Although the '77 Buick LeSabre was considerably smaller on the outside, headroom, rear seat legroom and trunk space were increased over the much larger 1976 model. The engine lineup consisted of an assortment of engines including the standard 231 cubic-inch Buick-built V6 and various optional powerplants including a Pontiac-built 301 cubic-inch V8, 350 cubic-inch V8s built by both Buick and Oldsmobile, and an Oldsmobile 403 cubic-inch V8. The V6 was standard in base and Custom coupes and sedans, the 301 V8 on the new LeSabre Sport Coupe and the 350 V8 on the Estate Wagon.

Our Daily Challenge ... hobbies.
Bird watching is one component of my photography obsession. During the heat of summer most of the water birds I can see from my backyard disappeared ... presumably to cooler climes. However, they are starting to return and have discovered the conveniently located log on the edge of the lake.
I always try to focus on this bird as a test subject to test my panning and bird photography skills. They are in good numbers in many lakes here and not hard to get a shot. But getting a good shot has never been easy!
Thanks in advance for your view and feedback. Please stay safe and healthy.
The IXV Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle is being prepared for launch at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
IXV will be launched 320 km into space on top of a Vega rocket, climbing up to 420 km before beginning a long glide back through the atmosphere. In the process, IXV will gather data on reentry conditions to help guide the design of future spaceplanes.

Second-largest of the egrets, working the edge of a lagoon in the Minnippi Wetland. I had originally ID'd as Great, but I think I can see breast plumes as well as those on the back.

Eurasian Wigeon EUWI (Anas penelope)
X American Wigeon AMWI (Anas americana)
Near mouth of Reay Creek
Bazan Bay
Sidney BC.
DSCN1205 EUWI X AMWI hybrid
This could be a back cross which favours EUWI
Typically hybrids show a stronger "AMWI" line differentiating 2 tones on face
Is this a bird ...
i had hoped to see again ??? hmmm... See comment box
however
Here are my surmisings
Red tones show that EUWI is involved and the lack of definition would seem to indicate a possible EUWI back cross
All the speckling and other face tones indicate AMWI influence
The flanks /sides are nicely intermediate between grey tones of EUWI and purple tones of AMWI
Further photo doc. of this bird before all the Wigeons migrate North , could be very interesting.
Would love to see what "prime" breeding plumage looks like.

I didn’t set out to make this particular image: the original composition was a shot of the Milky Way. This image was an unintentional result of an intermediate step in the process of compositing several exposures to capture the fireflies!
