(Sympetrum striolatum)

 

La grive, véritable boussole climatique...

On n'a plus d'hiver...

Dans des régions il n'a pas plu depuis des mois...!!!

C'est inquiétant le réchauffement climatique.

 

Cette année encore, je n'aurai pas vu d'oiseaux migrateurs dans ma région... et dommage.

J'ai donc cherché dans mes archives cette photo de grive litorne.

De grandes bandes de grives litornes arrivent en France le flot principal n'arrive généralement qu'en octobre et en novembre.

 

Des troupes de plusieurs centaines d'individus déferlent alors sur le pays par le nord et l'est, en provenance de Scandinavie et d'Europe de l'Est.

 

Lorsque les conditions climatiques sont mauvaises, de nombreuses grives arrivent épuisées et deviennent alors des proies faciles pour les prédateurs comme les rapaces.

 

En hiver, la litorne forme de grandes bandes mêlées d'autres grives, notamment des mauvis.

 

Ces troupes bruyantes parcourent la campagne en quête de nourriture.

 

A terre, la litorne se comporte typiquement comme les autres membres de la famille, adoptant souvent une posture rectiligne et progressant par bonds un peu lourdauds.

 

Alarmée, elle se tient presque verticale et scrute de tous les côtés. A l'approche d'un prédateur, toute la bande se réfugie dans un arbre voisin où elle se pose généralement face au vent.

The thrush, a real climatic compass...

There is no more winter...

In some regions it has not rained for months.

Global warming is worrying.

This year again, I will not have seen migratory birds in my region... and a pity.

So I searched my archives for this fieldfare photo.

 

Large flocks of Fieldfares arrive in France the main flow usually only arrives in October and November.

 

Troops of several hundred individuals then swept over the country from the north and east, coming from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.

 

When the climatic conditions are bad, many thrushes arrive exhausted and then become easy prey for predators such as raptors. In winter, the litorne forms large flocks mixed with other thrushes, notably redwings.

 

These noisy troops roam the countryside in search of food.

 

On land, the litorne typically behaves like the other members of the family, often adopting a straight posture and progressing in somewhat clumsy leaps.

 

Alarmed, she stands almost vertically and peers from all sides. At the approach of a predator, the whole flock takes refuge in a nearby tree where it generally lands facing the wind.

This group of Greater Flamingos were performing their mating dance and display for dominance in Camargue, France.

 

The two flamingos in the center of this photography get their necks entangled with each other.

 

They quickly worked it out and then the group continued to perform the dancing ritual.

 

There are nine different postures during the courtship display and from these postures, there are more than 100 possible transitions between the postures.

 

The dance is a beautiful group behavior to watch and listen to.

The Carolina Wren is easily recognized by the white stripe above each eye and its distinctive "tail-up" posture that it assumes as it flits about the bushes. Energetic and vocal this little wren has one of the loudest songs of any small bird. Males sing their “tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea-kettle-tea." song hundreds of times a day, all year long. One particularly busy bird was recorded singing almost 3,000 times in a single day!

  

Carolina wrens form lifelong pair bonds and pairs often stay together for years. The birds move and feed together, where you see one, you will usually see its mate foraging close by. The pair works together to build a nest, which can be in a tree hole or on a branch, but Carolina wrens are well known for choosing to nest in man made structures such as mail boxes, door wreaths, flower pots, or even a cardboard box in a garage. They use sticks, hair, feathers, and anything that looks suitable—even shed snake skins. They often build multiple nests then select one to raise their chicks.

  

When feeding, a Carolina wren hops around on the ground and in the underbrush turning over dead leaves, and probing cracks and crannies for spiders, insects and larvae. They also eat fruit and berries, but rarely come to bird feeders.

 

I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.

.....and he's on his way.

In our garden.

A female Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) was flying very close to water surface in search of fishes. The posture of the flight was simply awe inspiring with large dagger like beak in the perfect position along with the wings and rosy legs in action. The backdrop also was very soothing here. Something very charming is there in this composition. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Nyctanassa violacea). Japanese Garden, Hermann Park, Houston, Texas. Too much sake, maybe?

A Brahminy Starling (Sturnia pagodarum) was looking amazingly cool with a curious expression in the middle of a dry grassland. The bird may be common but the beautiful posture against a gorgeous Bokeh backdrop made me feel delightful to present this. Pics was taken from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India.

Tenía enfocado al macho de Onychogomphus costae y de momento curvó el abdomen con esta postura tan curiosa y deduzco que está limpiando con la pata trasera derecha algún resto de suciedad.

He had focused on the male of Onychogomphus costae and for the moment he curved his abdomen with this curious posture and I deduce that he is cleaning some dirt with his right hind leg.

Seen on this friendly Goose at a local Nature Reserve,

This new plant in our garden seemed dormant for some time, then it began to produce one passion flower per week and now it gives several at a time.

 

The bees seem unable to understand the intricate structure of the flowers which is perhaps why the plant has produced no fruit.

 

Looking close... on Friday! tres/three

La photo de rue, ce n'est pas tant une photo de la banalité qu'une photo de la cocasserie anodine...

 

Et en l'occurrence, la première source de cocasserie, ce sont les postures de nos amis badauds et travailleurs dans le "bon" contexte... :-))
