Clark's grebes with two chicks and one fish on Lake Almanor, Plumas County, California.
Although Northern California got quite a lot of rain last winter, only 100 chicks hatched this year from 700 nests on Lake Almanor. Why? The water level dropped too rapidly due to a release that occurred a few weeks before this photo was taken. These two chicks were among the 100 that hatched in the three days before the release.
The grebes whose first nesting attempts failed were building new nests. Perhaps their second nesting attempt will be successful.
The male parent of this breeding pair of barred owls has just delivered a meal to the female and is off to hunt again. I was hoping to get an owl in flight that morning, but never expected to get two in a shot like this. Have you ever laughed out loud after making a picture? This is the jpeg from the camera unprocessed. If you look closely, you can see the tail of the field mouse or rat hanging out of the females mouth. Please be respectful of the nesting area if you visit. Colleyville Nature Center, Texas, USA, April 2016

Sandy. In my sickness she has been a constant companion and comfort. Things seem to be taking a turn for the better, but we're still waiting.
Also, we're very saddened today at news of the passing of dear old Chester. Rest peacefully friend.
Although the bluebirds are happy to take the live mealworms I put out, they are both excellent hunters, skilled at bringing back these big larva to feed their babies.
I stopped by Abby's nest this past Monday and was happy to finally see that there were what I thought was 2 chicks .
At this young age they spend most of their time laying low, so I'd never get more than a glimpse of one popping up for a second or two before disappearing again.
On Tuesday I stopped back when I had more time to observe.
John showed back up with lunch, flew into the nest for a minute, and then took back off to sit on a pole and make sure the fish was no longer flapping, before bringing it back to the kids.
When I was checking the series of shots I took as he was flying off with the fish, this was the very last shot in the series....and the only one that revealed that there are actually not two, but THREE chicks!! Triplets! How cool!

6 But godliness cwith contentment is great gain, 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of iall kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

Lackland AFB (TX), 28 January 1987.
54-0593 in its original camouflage and AFRes titles. The Provider is still preserved at Lackland AFB but has been resprayed in a glossy scheme.
I can't find much information about this airframe, except that it flew with 310th SOS at Phan Rang AB in Vietnam.
Lackland AFB is part of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and has an impressive collection of vintage aircraft.

Had to check on the burrowing owls again today, even though it was trying to rain (in SoCal terminology, that's a mist falling). This happy couple has at least 5 little owlets to feed, but mom got this meal delivered from dad and I think she kept this one for herself. He brought in 2 or 3 more which were fed to the little ones. Cool stuff.
Taken back in September of 2000, here's "Scotia Provider" part way through a hull repainting. We had visited the tidal power station at the causeway and were heading down toward the "French Shore" when we noticed activity at the haul out in Annapolis Royal. The lighting was very good, the setting sun being just about ready to slip below the long ridge of North Mountain.
"Scotia Provider", a carvel-planked wooden fishing vessel, was built at the A.F.Theriault & Son yard in Meteghan River, Nova Scotia in 1979. She was a bit over 18 meters in length powered by a 520 single prop diesel engine. Although a vessel having the same name sank 150 miles off Cape Cod on July 20, 2015 (crew rescued with no losses), a recent directory of fishing vessels shows "Scotia Provider" still "active", so the lost vessel might have been a different one with the same name.
The original Ektachrome 100 slide image was taken with a Nikon F3HP, Vivitar 90-180mm Series 1 lens. The slide was copied using a Nikon D3500 camera, 55mm f/3.5 Micro Nikkor lens fitted with a Nikon 4T closeup lens, with a Soligor 1.6x achromatic closeup lens on the 4T. Lighting was provided by a 5000K LED bulb in a desk lamp.

Ryanair 737 'EI-CJD' in between services at Dublin. The aircraft carried this livery for mobile phone provider 'Eircell'
Eircell was an Irish mobile cellular network provider which was established in 1984, It became defunct in 2001 when the company was acquired by Vodafone.
CJD was a 737-204 built for Britannia as 'G-BKHE', and acquired by Ryanair during 1994. The airframe exists today as a fire service trainer.
The 737 carried these colours from November 1998 , the livery was updated to one for 'Vodafone'
A Dublin Bus Volvo Olympian wore a similar livery, which was also updated.

This male Osprey provided food for his mate as she tended to the nest. She accepted the fish gladly and flew off to eat it close by.

Lakeshore Park, Newark, CA. The parent provided each chick with its own fish. One chick managed to swallow the fish after a bit of juggling. The other chick ultimately regurgitated the fish (seen here), at which point the parent ate it, perhaps to feed back to the chick at a later time.

First time I'd seen Ocean Provider in Burghead, think it's a fairly new boat to the Wick register but usually fishes out of Helmsdale across the firth. It was previously registered as LN4, Kings Lynn, but operated out of the Tyne. Don't know where it was built or who by.
A United States Navy C-2 Greyhound from the VRC-30 Provider's performs a low pass at the El Centro 2015 airshow.
This C-123 is actually a very interesting aircraft. It was initially built for the USAF as a C-123B in 1958. Soon thereafter it was transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard with which it flew for 14 years as an HC-123B, number 4357.
It came back to the USAF in 1972 and was issued to the 457th TFS (yes, TFS) where I presume it served as a unit hack. The aircraft went to MASDC in June 1975 and remained there for four years. Subsequently, it was removed and ultimately re-engined with T-56 turbo props as a prototype for the Royal Thai Air Force which had a fleet of approximately 40 C-123s. It was unofficially called the Turbo Provider.
The long and short of it was that this effort came to naught. Here's a link that outlines the interesting history of that effort: www.oldwings.nl/content/c123t/c123t.htm
