I have two Coopers Hawks that are hunting in my yard and they are here every day. This one is on my fence and he is watching a squirrel on the bird feeder.
One of the locations we explored today was Case Community Park in Sand Springs, OK. This park was made with private money and is free to the public. It is located next to the Arkansas River, and a lot of wildlife will come into the park when there aren't a lot of people here. It was overcast today and the park was empty. We were able to take some bird pictures around the park. This egret didn't mind us watching him fish, and I was able to capture him catching five fish. This is one of my favorites of the day.
One giant leap for Frogkind...Common Gray Tree Frog ranges from 1 1/4-2 3/8 inches (3.2-6cm); he is nocturnal and usual live high in tree tops, which is why I was surprised to find him on my back garage screen door!
The light was bad but I did get a couple of shots before I called for help to remove him to a garden; turns out the little guy can easily leap 3-4 feet! Which is what he did, into my kitchen...Chaotic attempt to catch him before he leaped behind the fridge, or Frodo got him! Captured him and released him outside hear his normal habitat. Phew, one efficient little machine there!
Have a terrific weekend all!

ridurre tutto ad un giorno di sole
tu non lo sai come vorrei
saper guardare indietro
senza fare sul serio, senza fare sul serio"

Buona serata
At the entrance to the Third Tunnel in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) stands a statue named "This One Earth", a sculpture symbolizing unification.
The Third Tunnel, discovered in 1978, is a 1.7 km long tunnel dug by North Korean soldiers and is now a tourist attraction. Hard hats and a lot of stooping (even when you are short like me!) is required to descend (down a steep sloping walkway) and then walk along the South Korean side of the tunnel to catch a glimpse, through a small 'window', of the North Korean side of the same tunnel!

Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
"See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!"
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
"I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!"
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be;
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes
"Och, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"
Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh
Ring di diddly ay oh
"Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"
The feeding frenzy continues as the marsh seems to be overrun with newly hatched fish. Eagerly feeding on them are dozens and dozens of terns, egrets, herons and gulls. The wading birds stab at the fish with their sharp beaks from the shore but if you want to get to the big schools you have to venture into deeper water. That's where the terns and gulls are feasting. While the gulls have a more dainty approach of hovering over the surface until finally dropping in to grab a fish, The terns dive bomb from 20 feet up and impale fish on their large beaks.
This one shows of its skills by catching two fish at the same time.
Theories range from getting oxygen for the Bald Cypress tree to helping stabilize the tree because of it's shallow root system, but no one has yet figured out the real purpose of cypress knees. Just another one of those unsolved mysteries of nature.
Temps below 20 degrees this morning in the swamps...stay warm, people!!!

Happy family monk parakeets
this was the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen, even the waitresses that work on the sea-front and see so many sunsets came out and watched in silence.....
A dusty plastic fan in a dirty window above a shop door.
Looks like a relic from the 70s or 80s to me.
Sitting in the garden looking at the Dandelions.
