The White-lined Tanager, Tachyphonus rufus, is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder from Costa Rica south to northern Argentina, and on Trinidad and Tobago.
It occurs in semi-open areas including gardens. The bulky cup nest is built in a tree or shrub, and the female incubates three, sometimes two, brown-blotched cream eggs for 14-15 days.
Adult White-lined Tanagers are 18.5cm long and weigh 33g. They are long-tailed and with a mostly black stout pointed bill. The adult male is glossy black, apart from white underwing coverts and a small white patch on the upperwing. These white areas are conspicuous in flight but otherwise rarely visible. Females and immatures are entirely rufous in plumage, somewhat paler below.
These are restless but unwary birds which eat a wide variety of fruit, but especially epiphytes. They also take some nectar and insects, including beetles, ants and grasshoppers. They appear to be territorial, as only one nesting pair is usually seen in an area.
The White-lined Tanager’s song is a fast repetitive cheeru. Local names in Trinidad and Tobago include 'Parson' (for the male), and 'Singing Angel'; on these islands, the species is valued highly for its whistling ability.
I always love this view across this field with the trees in view!

Two former Soo Line GP9s rest outside of the grain elevators in New Ulm, MN. Originally built for passenger trains, these units still retain their 'torpedo' tubes, and faded Soo Line paint. The pair of locomotives have an uncertain fate; they are currently sitting dead, stakes capped, and listed for sale.

SR Merchant Navy Class 35028 'Clan Line' working The Atlantic Coast Express (1Z28 0714 London Waterloo to Exeter St Davids). Captured as she climbed Honiton Bank, East Devon, on route to Exeter on Saturday 12th October 2024, with the last steam tour to Devon this year.
MNNR 48 trundles west along the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis on the snow covered Hiawatha Line for switch work at the remaining grain facilities. The Minnesota Commercial keeps this trackage active that once saw countless trains, especially passenger trains of the Milwaukee Road, Soo Line, and Rock Island.
It was around 7 p.m. and I took this wonderful picture on top of the train station. The symmetry and the line of tracks surrender this picture

It was a pretty enough of a day. The temperature was mild. Autumn still lingered in this part of the Eastern Sierra. The coffee was hot and strong. I was listening to country music and exploring some country roads looking for photographs.
I thought this looked interesting.

With the temperatures rocketing back up to seasonal more and more people are venturing outside over lunch hour, so while I was traveling between buildings today I had the camera in hand and thought I may as well work on my street photography.
It's one area of photography that I feel very weak in, and need to force myself to break out of my comfort zone every now and then.
Since one of the main sights of summer in Ottawa is construction, I felt it fitting to get a shot of these guys lined up and enjoying a bit of a rest.
Just a normal summer day in the city.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

When the tide goes low it forms this characteristic line aiming to the bridge, I love to see the Tide's chart and having a low tide to go photograph the sunrises here, with a beautiful sky this place never disappoint.
