A Sunday grain extra on the Huron & Eastern traverses a lesser-used section of the railroad as it travels to Brown City in the farthest, most rural reaches of the railroad's system. To the right of the train is a fixed approached semaphore blade that once gave a distant approach indication to eastbound Pere Marquette trains approaching Hoyt Junction in Saginaw, Michigan. The signal likely dates to the 1920s and certainly owes it's survival to it's isolated location between grade crossings.

The lesser flamingo is a species of flamingo occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, with another population in India. Birds are occasionally reported from further north, but these are generally considered vagrants. It was moved from the genus Phoeniconaias to Phoenicoparrus in 2014. Wikipedia
Love this time of year when my neighbor's Prunus tree blooms and the goldfinches and sparrows enjoy them.
273) Lesser Adjutant
Lesser Adjutant, Leptoptilos javanicus, Burung Botak
This is a large wading bird in the stork family. The lesser adjutant is often found in large rivers and lakes inside well wooded regions, in freshwater wetlands in agricultural areas, and coastal wetlands including mudflats and mangroves. It is found from India to SouthEast Asia. The lesser adjutant stalks around wetlands feeding mainly on fish, frogs, reptiles, large invertebrates, rodents, small mammals and rarely carrion.
Burung Botak ini lazimnya boleh dilihat di muara sungai sewaktu air surut di mana ia memburu makanannya. Ia boleh juga ditemui di kawasan berair seperti sawah padi. Seperti keluarga bangau yang lain ia memakan haiwan akuatik, termasuk reptilian dan amfibia serta mamalia kecil seperti tikus, kadangkala makan bangkai.

The Lesser Kiskadee is a bird I look forward to seeing when visiting South America and our trip to the Pantanal didn’t disappoint. We get its larger cousin, the Great Kiskadee, here in south Texas so it is neat to see the “other version.” The Lesser Kiskadee is not only smaller than the great but it also has a thinner beak and it has a much different call that to my ear doesn’t sound anything like kis-ka-dee at all. I wonder which was named first…?

Lesser kestrel (female) basking in the evening sun.
Cousins to the much more prevelant common kestrel (clue's in the name), lesser kestrels are a bit smaller with an easily identifiable difference in patterns and colours in their plumage.

This drab little bird is the Lesser Greenlet. Though it might look flashy I was pretty excited to get a few decent shots of this bird on our recent visit to Costa Rica because I have always really struggled to get photos despite this species being relatively common. These little birds are very active, hopping between clumps of leaves (usually high in the trees) probing curled leaves for prey hiding within.

Hylophilus decurtatus
Fifth and last in my series of images featuring solo birds.
This one features a Lesser Yellowlegs standing alertly on a moss-covered log. Its yellow legs are difficult to see due to the shadowing of the light.
The following is from allaboutbirds.com:
"The Lesser Yellowlegs is a dainty and alert "marshpiper" that occurs in shallow, weedy wetlands and flooded fields across North America during migration. It's smaller with a shorter, more needlelike bill than the Greater Yellowlegs, but otherwise looks very similar. It breeds in the meadows and open woodlands of boreal Canada. Like many other shorebirds, the Lesser Yellowlegs rebounded from hunting in the early 20th century but has declined again from losses of wetland habitats. It is on the Yellow Watch List for species with declining populations."
Still quite a few migrant ducks hanging around our area.
Thank you for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!
I'd never even SEEN one of these little guys till about a year ago. Now I can say, with a bag of nyjer seed hanging in my backyard, they are frequent visitors, even enjoying the birdie bath on occasion. This teeny fellow, though, was taking a drink at Meadowbrook, the Los Angeles County Arboretum.
