An Anhinga is none too happy at that.

I interrupted this female Pileated Woodpecker having her breakfast outside our front window this morning.

To get an idea of the size of this large woodpecker species, the measured distance from the root at the base of the stump to the hole she had made is a full 12", making her about 14" in total length.

My first drive and stop photography. Managed to squeeze some shots in before traffic approached.

After chasing another coyote, this one had to take a potty break.

A pair of Northern Mockingbirds stop their conflict to make sure we won't interfere.

Tofu sat under one of the Acers and was about to keep his fluffy white fur clean when something interrupted him, most likely a BIRD. Dry moments in which he could enjoy his garden have been rare today, though. After weeks of sunny and summery hot weather it's suddenly beginning to feel autumnal.

I got a disturbing message from Mother Nature today, your spring has been put on hold, please wait for the next available warm day....

After having only about an inch of snow all winter, we may get some more tonight, almost a month after this was taken....

A couple of months ago I was at a Comic-Con in Niagara Falls.

Boy is that something to see.

Pound nets consist of a fence leader that interrupts the movements of target species and a heart that funnels fish into the trap (pound) via a no return mesh tunnel. The series of nets are anchored to the bottom perpendicular to shore and are set in nearshore areas, with depth often increasing toward the pound.

The netting usually reaches above the waterline with the pound open at the surface. Pound nets are harvested by concentrating the catch in one corner and removing it with a dip net. The leaders may be as long as 1,300 feet (400 meters) with pounds measuring 160 square feet.

Risks to Sea Turtles

Populations of loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, and leatherback sea turtles are at risk in areas where pound net fishing is abundant, such as the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding waters.

Sea turtles may become entangled in any portion of the pound net, most commonly around their head and front flippers. Entanglements can result in bodily injury or drowning.

Entrapment occurs when a sea turtle finds its way into a pound net but cannot get out.

Sea turtles may also become pinned against the netting in a fast moving current and drown if they cannot free themselves.

Risks to Marine Mammals

Small coastal cetacean species, such as bottlenose dolphins, can become entrapped and or entangled in pound nets.

The mesh netting of leaders can act like a gillnet and entangle dolphins. Because the nets are often at or near the surface, cetaceans may be able to breathe until they are released. Once an animal is caught, stress may lead to bodily injury, with strong currents often complicating entanglements.

Bycatch Reduction

Regulations require modified leaders (composed of stiffer materials) to be set more than 10 feet from the low waterline during the summer to reduce turtle bycatch in Virginia. Use of stiffer materials in the leaders has likely lowered dolphin entanglement as well.

I'm jumping in on the middle of PolaroidWeek after finally getting my film scanning work-from-home space set up.

I didn't know what to post so there will be just a few things shot recently during StayHome. It seemed fitting to share things taken during this lost season.

Happy April Polaroid Week!
