organ player (and his wife?) rehearsing at St. Stephen's Church, Mainz
Ein Orgelspieler (und seine Frau / Begleitung) probt auf der Klais Orgel in St. Stephan, Mainz. Ich gehe davon aus, dass es sich um Christoph Keggenhoff (Speyer) handelt, der am Donnerstag (06. August 2015) um 19:30h ein Konzert auf dieser Orgel spielt. Der Eintritt dazu ist frei:

I can almost always guarantee finding redshanks feeding in the harbour at Bridlington in East Yorkshire. At low tide, anything between ten and twenty five will be weaving between the boats, probing in the mud for food.
Probing for nectar, a mejiro spreads pollen between the shandilay blossoms. Mejiro, Japanese white-eye, Zosterops japonicus. Klip dagga, Leonotis nepetifolia.

Just below the summit of Legges Tor, which rises above the central plateau of Ben Lomond, we come across some interesting equipment. The ski lift is obvious enough, but my title reflects a little confusion as to the origins of the solar panel on the right.
My first thought was a weather station, but that seems unlikely since we lack the means of measuring rainfall and wind speed (there's no anemometer). Is it an alien probe? My guess is that it in fact measures seismic activity and relays this information electronically.
Interestingly enough, this is the only place on the entire mountain that has mobile phone reception. So one would think that our phones can tap into whatever signal is being emitted from this "probe". Any suggestions warmly welcomed.
The Black-Headed Ibis - Threskiornis melanocephalus - is also known as the Indian White Ibis, the Oriental White Ibis and the Black-Necked Ibis. It is a wading bird which breeds in the South- and Southeast Asia from India in the west and across eastward as far as Japan. Interestingly, you can see the red patch under the wing, this only happens during the breeding season which only occurs in the rainy season. It is the only native ibis species in its range that has an overall white plumage with a black neck and head. Often referred to as a wetland species, the this lovely bird is quite happy in a range of natural and man-made habitats where it probes into mud and shallow water with its long, down curved black bill, sometimes submerging its entire head in the search for food.

From the archives... One year ago.
Or what a probe on a shoestring budget (broken lander leg) might see upon landing at the Michigan City Lighthouse. The near object is a massive block of ice which has formed over a small concrete pillar. The frozen, Southern tip of Lake Michigan is between the frozen pillar and the sky beyond.
Whether the probe landed here, or at the U.S. Capitol Building, the conclusion might be the same: no life here (no offense to those living camera left...the probe was just pointed the wrong way here).
In lovely condition despite having covered 132,000 miles. Very rare now.
Are these a badge engineered Mazda?
A kōlea probes the damp soil for earthworms. A Pacific golden plover patrols the Oahu shoreline and reestablishes his territory after a five-month summer breeding season in arctic Alaska. With his seasonal mating plumage fading this shorebird looks for food to replenish his body fat. The return trip traversed approximately 3,000 miles of open ocean requiring an exhaustive 3 to 4 days and nights of nonstop flight. Incredibly, some kōlea will continue their marathon semiannual migration to oceanic islands of the southern Pacific resulting in an annual round trip total of about 15,000 miles. Their fledglings set off from the tundra searching for an island and a suitable territory a month or two after the adults have departed. Many fledgling birds probably miss landfall and perish at sea. Survivors are superb navigators with territorial fidelity, using the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find their way over the featureless ocean to the same small patch of land every year. Like most transoceanic migratory birds, they may use the earth’s magnetic field visually with the magnetoreception molecules of cryptochrome in their retina.
Black crowned Night Heron
"A heron can use a Probing
technique by quickly and repeatedly moving its bill into and out of the water or
substrate, in a method more typical of ibises. Probing is a non-visual, tactile foraging
technique. A more common behavior is Pecking. The heron merely picks up an item
from the substrate, often repeating the movement. The substrate may be the ground, a
plant, or surface of the water. A specialized method is Scooping used by the Boat Billed
Heron. By Scooping, the individual walks forward with its bill partially submerged,
thrusting forward and Scooping with each step.
Prey are caught in the bill either by Impale Capture or Grasp Capture. Impaling
means the bill tip goes into or through the prey. This occurs mostly on large and wide
prey, and mostly by herons with bills large enough to withstand the stress of impaling
and landing a larger prey item. Grasping is the more common capture method in which
prey are caught in a tweezers grip."

New findings from NASA’s Juno probe orbiting Jupiter provide a fuller picture of how the planet’s distinctive and colorful atmospheric features offer clues about the unseen processes below its clouds. The results highlight the inner workings of the belts and zones of clouds encircling Jupiter, as well as its polar cyclones and even the Great Red Spot.
Jupiter's banded appearance is created by the cloud-forming weather layer. This composite image shows views of Jupiter in infrared and visible light taken by the Gemini North telescope and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

Hi There!

An image of a male Pileated Woodpecker from my 2018 archives. It's just about ready to probe the tree cavity with its tongue. There must have been some very fine ants or larvae in there because he worked at this for quite some time and didn't seem to mind my presence. His pose also shows how a woodpecker uses its tail feathers to keep itself upright while on the tree.
Thanks a million for viewing and for your comments. I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!

Today's scan went really well! The ultrasound tech was awesome; she was very personable, and very knowledgeable. A far cry from the corpsman that did my ultrasound the last time. Anyhow, I asked her a ton of questions about ultrasound and when it's applicable, for people other than pregnant ladies and so on.
When she brought Grace and Kurt back into the room with me, the baby started really moving! S/he kept flipping and turning and rolling. Every time the tech tried to take a photo of him/her, s/he would race away from the probe and hide somewhere else. We got to see his/her mouth open, the arms waving, and the feet kicking. We saw the bladder and the stomach and the heart and the backbone. We even got to see the bone structure of the face!! What amazing technology!
Inside a massive, closed warehouse. One could spend days wandering this cavernous space. After closing, this building was intentionally left to rot with the plans of demolition. Workers are slowly removing valuable equipment but there is a long journey ahead with the environmental cleanup of the entire property.

A white ibis near the water.
Wikipedia - The .American white ibis (Eudocimus albus) is a species of bird in the ibis family, Threskiornithidae. It is found from North Carolina via the Gulf Coast of the United States south through most of the coastal New World tropics. n flight. Males are larger and have longer bills than females. The breeding range runs along the Gulf and Atlantic Coast, and the coasts of Mexico and Central America. Outside the breeding period, the range extends further inland in North America and also includes the Caribbean. It is also found along the northwestern South American coastline in Colombia and Venezuela. Populations in central Venezuela overlap and interbreed with the scarlet ibis. The two have been classified by some authorities as a single species.
Their diet consists primarily of small aquatic prey, such as insects and small fishes. Crayfish are its preferred food in most regions, but it can adjust its diet according to the habitat and prey abundance. Its main foraging behavior is probing with its beak at the bottom of shallow water to feel for and capture its prey. It does not see the prey.
During the breeding season, the American white ibis gathers in huge colonies near water. Pairs are predominantly monogamous and both parents care for the young, although males tend to engage in extra-pair copulation with other females to increase their reproductive success. Males have also been found to pirate food from unmated females and juveniles during the breeding season.
