Northern Harriers don't just hunt the marshes. This time of year they scour the sagebrush desert looking for mice and voles coming out of hibernation.

Museo del Mar de Galicia
El Museo do Mar de Galicia tiene una de las más completas exposiciones permanentes de Vigo, que combina con muestras temporales, siempre relacionadas con el mundo del mar y la pesca. En él podrás conocer toda la historia de la actividad pesquera de Vigo: pesca, marisqueo, acuicultura y los métodos de conservación, desde la primitiva salazón hasta el moderno congelado, pasando por los avances técnicos en las embarcaciones o la biología marina.
El arquitecto italiano Aldo Rossi visualizó, desde el esqueleto de la vieja fábrica de Conservas de Alcabre, (reutilizada después como matadero municipal) el continente del hermoso museo, pero murió mientras lo convertía en realidad y el gallego César Portela terminó la obra: una auténtica maravilla arquitectónica que merece la pena visitar aunque solo sea para perderse en sus vertiginosas líneas triangulares.

Another photo taken on back land near Fort Belknap. The Brazos River is about 400 yards to the right of this spot. This is an area that has a number of old rusting "dead" farm machines, as well as a few sheds and barns that aren't good for anything except serving as homes for local wildlife.
This was taken back in September of 2005 during a time of an exploding population of big yellow grasshoppers. My sister hated walking through tall grass and weeds here, always wanted me to lead the way. Nature has a way of sometimes "balancing things", which is what we saw happening here. Whatever conditions created the bumper crop of hoppers, also created a huge population of Golden Garden Spiders... which feast on them. There webs were everywhere, almost all having one or more bundled up hoppers hanging in them. This was by far the largest number of these spiders we've encountered anywhere... a true arachnophobe's nightmare, and the reason Susie had me "break trail" for her. But, whether you like spiders, or not... if you want to get interesting pics, you sometimes have to put up with creepy situations.

The common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) is a large icterid which is found in large numbers through much of North America.
Adult common grackles measure from 28 to 34 cm (11 to 13 in) in length, span 36–46 cm (14–18 in) across the wings and weigh 74–142 g (2.6–5.0 oz). Common grackles are less sexually dimorphic than larger grackle species but the differences between the sexes can still be noticeable. The male, which averages 122 g (4.3 oz), is larger than the female, at an average of 94 g (3.3 oz). Adults have a long, dark bill, pale yellowish eyes and a long tail; its feathers appear black with purple, green or blue iridescence on the head, and primarily bronze sheen in the body plumage.
The breeding habitat is open and semi-open areas across North America east of the Rocky Mountains. The nest is a well-concealed cup in dense trees (particularly pine) or shrubs, usually near water; sometimes, the common grackle will nest in cavities or in man-made structures. It often nests in colonies, some being quite large. Bird houses are also a suitable nesting site. There are four to seven eggs.
This bird is a permanent resident in much of its range. Northern birds migrate in flocks to the southeastern United States.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Canada Permanent Trust Building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is an Art Deco structure built between 1928 and 1930. It was designed by the architect Henry Sproatt. The 18-floor office building is located at 320 Bay Street and was built by F. Hilton Wilkes.
The building is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act since November 26, 1975. There is also a heritage easement agreement on the building, Registered C440805, since January 7, 1988. The building has a heritage designation plaque to inform the public, placed in 1978.
The Canada Permanent Trust Building is designated to be of architectural value as being one of the finest highrise bank buildings of its period in Canada. Designed using the simplified classical forms of the Style Moderne, it combines an emphasis on its vertical height appropriate to its basic form, with the impressive vaulted banking hall, characteristic of bank buildings at the beginning of the Century. The building is also important as a part of the Bay Street canyon of high-rise buildings that has come to be regarded as symbolic of Toronto's financial quarter."
The Red-winged Blackbird,
an abundant permanent resident of Florida. Among our most familiar birds, Red-wings seem to sing their nasal songs in every marsh and wet field from coast to coast. They are notably bold, and several will often attack a larger bird, such as a hawk or crow, that flies over their nesting area. The red shoulder patches of the male, hidden under body feathers much of the time, are brilliantly displayed when he is singing. Outside the nesting season, Red-wings sometimes roost in huge concentrations.
To defend his territory and attract a mate, male perches on high stalk with feathers fluffed out and tail partly spread, lifts leading edge of wing so that red shoulder patches are prominent, and sings. Also sings in slow, fluttering flight. One male often has more than one mate. Adults are very aggressive in nesting territory, attacking larger birds that approach, and loudly protesting human intruders. Nest: Placed in marsh growth such as cattails or bulrushes, in bushes or saplings close to water, or in dense grass in fields. Nest (built by female) is bulky open cup, lashed to standing vegetation, made of grass, reeds, leaves, rootlets, lined with fine grass.
I found this one singing along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.
First permanent establishments
In 1635, the first seigneurie was granted on the territory of Cape-Rouge, but revoked the following year by the Company of One Hundred Associates. However, by 1638 Paul Le Jeune, a missionary Jesuit, had noted in The Jesuit Relations the presence of some families in the valley.[1] Between 1647 and 1652, the seigneuries of Maur, on the west, and Gaudarville, in the east, were established on the territory. From that moment, based on taxable citizens, the settlement on the lands of Cap-Rouge are established. The village formed is served by the parishes of Ancienne-Lorette in (1678) to the north; of Saint-Augustin in (1691) on the west; and of Sainte-Foy (1698) in the east.
Geography
The beach of Plage Jacques Cartier and the cliffs of Cap-Rouge.
The name of Cap-Rouge, meaning "red cape", comes from its cliffs facing the Saint-Lawrence river and made of schist rock bearing a reddish tint. The other main topographic feature of Cap-Rouge is the Rivière du Cap Rouge valley where are concentrated some historic buildings as well the archeological remains of a pottery workshop active from 1860 to 1892. It is believed that until the end of its operations the workshop mainly used imported clay rather than the local one, which has a rather red hue.
The Cap-Rouge area is located to the south of the Canadian Shield and Laurentian Mountains, at the confluence of the geological regions of the Saint Lawrence Lowlands and of the northern Appalachians. It mostly sits at the western foot of the Quebec promontory, in the way of the Logan's Line - an inactive fracture in the Earth's crust first documented by Sir William Edmond Logan.
