Fledgling owl and adult cozy up.
This is the first GHO nest of the season for me. I got some info that there is at least one other family nearby. I've seen as many as three active GHO nests in this area. Great fun to watch the fledglings develop their strength and courage to move about in the trees.
A Sandhill Crane keeps a wary eye open while its companion grabs a bite. I really love those heart-shaped red marks on their foreheads, seen on the feeding bird... Vicinity of Jasper Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in Indiana

Keeping the seeds out for the little wild birds has kept me busy these days...they keep getting covered with snow. My bird feeders are mostly squirrel feeders lately, and even the racoons have emptied them more than once! Explore #156 Dec.30
I watched this osprey for a full half hour, hoping to see it strike but it was quite content staying perched in the same place in this tree.
Santa Fe SD75M No. 228 glides up the west slope of Olathe Hill on the Emporia Subdivision headed for Chicago with Q-LANY9-09.
Somewhere on the far west end of the railroad, these cars were setout bad order from a hot train and to make their scheduled arrival in Chicago, Santa Fe ran this special train when repairs were complete to get them to the Windy City. Needless to say, this train was hotter than anything on the railroad.
Santa Fe was truly special when it came to handling its intermodal traffic.
Redefining birdbath once again, this little wild one found a swimming hole that was just the right fit.

Sitting silently on the prairie like a lone sentinel, this old barn that is no longer needed by modern agriculture sits patiently waiting in the constant dread that someday soon it will be sold to the barn wood recyclers and that in the end it will be used merely to decorate the walls of a suburban steak house restaurant. With lumber prices skyrocketing, it’s only a matter of time. So is the fate of all workers who are no longer needed in a modern economy. You will be repurposed.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

My photostream is becoming quite gingery. I tried to focus on Ella this week for Happy Caturday but let's face it - it's tough in the winter. She and I spend our day in dark little office room, she's in the shadow of the computer monitor and when she sleeps, she's pretty much a skinny black blob. Not even her green eyes show up. So I'll keep trying for Ella. In the meantime, here's Mack napping on not one, but two, fleece blankets.
Happy Caturday: Keeping warm
Hard to believe a fish this big was in a shallow tidal pond. The Heron stabbed it with its sharp bill and flew around the pond area trying to outrun other Heron and an Eagle. I think my proximity to the Heron may have made the Eagle think twice about going in for the grab. This is a big crop, the long bed of seaweed is extremely slippery.
This image is posted to keep my account from being marked as inactive. I am grateful for the enquiries about my absence and hope to catch up with my FlickrFriends soon. All is well and life is good.
A bald eagle keeps watch over the harbor at Ketchikan. It probably wasn't the harbor security bird, and was more likely looking for one of those plump local salmon to swoop down upon. This is a bird that truly appreciates its Sushi.

This red winged backbird was watching the passers on the trail, ensuring that we didn't get too close! At Commonwealth Lake.
These two Peacock Butterflies landed on some old slabs in the garden today so not the prettiest of settings. A larger shot of one of them as they would not get closer together for me ... ☺
Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.
