I was lucky to get a picture of this Sedge Wren, our little rare visitor. They like grasslands and thick meadows to hide and eat. I went back to find it again and also a Short-eared Owl, but they cut down all their habitat. No Wren. No Owl. The Owl was a rare visitor for our area too. Central Bucks PA.
HL8298, a Bombardier CL-600-2B19 CRJ200, at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. Air Pohang was a scheduled airline that only operated from February 7 until November 29 during 2018. It was based at Pohang, Korea.
This aircraft (serial number 7834) started its career as JA206J with J-AIR Co., Ltd. at Hiroshima, Japan in August 2003. The other half of Air Pohang's fleet was HL8203, another CRJ200 (serial number 7391).
B&LE 906 and 909 take a turn handling a T-Bird crude (unprocessed) taconite train at the Thunderbird North loadout. A matched orange set on T-Birds is rare. The other Bird has a matched DM&IR set, 404 and 406 (CN paint).
Bit of a rare sight to see one of these guys mid December must have drifted up with the strong warm south winds we had last weekend and not much snow anywhere helps too

Who shoots a roof rack? Well, me I guess. I just couldn't get a good clean shot of the car, especially with it's big hood and tailgate agape! So, find something I can shoot...it'll have to be the roof rack, I guess. But, this is not about the picture, but more about the story. This all original 1966 Studebaker Wagonaire is very rare, and a car you just don't get to see anymore, not even at shows. (and Jeep used the same model name, "Wagonaire," and still does to this day! Good thing Studebaker is no longer around as they surely wouldn't be happy with that!) So I was happy that I stumbled upon this old "classic" and it is all original and still a daily driver. Here's a little more info on the car, and take note of the motor it came with in it's final year of production which coincides with Studebaker's final year in business.
Approximately 940 to 950 1966 Studebaker Wagonaires were produced, representing the final, limited production run of this unique sliding-roof station wagon before Studebaker ceased automobile manufacturing in March 1966. Some sources specifically note 940 units were built for the 1966 model year, which included both sliding and fixed-roof models. And I would bet, and probably not be too far off by saying there's probably less than a hundred of these still running about today in some condition or another.
Key Details for 1966 Model Year:
Total Produced: ~940–950 units
Production Location: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Engine: These last-year models were equipped with a 283 cubic-inch V8 engines sourced from Chevrolet (interesting, no?)
End of Production: March 16, 1966
The 1966 Wagonaires are considered quite rare, especially with the signature sliding roof, as the total, low production count for 1966 included all wagon body styles, including those with fixed roofs
A very rare sighting here. This young Whooping Crane was spotted by several people in a marsh north west of Edmonton, and the word got around quickly. I was at the right place and time today to get this shot as it flew by me to land on a field where has been foraging a long distance away from the road I was standing on.
This is a young non-breeding individual that did not go up to Wood Buffalo National Park, or is taking his sweet time to get there. No urgency for it.
The whooping Crane's primary natural breeding ground is Wood Buffalo National Park, in Canada's Northwest Territories and Alberta.
They winter in the coastal marshes of Texas, particularly in the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.

Nyctanassa violacea immature,
Morro Bay, California
Since this bird was gaining some of the head plumage of an adult, it was probably completing its 2nd year of life. It spent some minutes removing the crab's claws and legs.
This species is rare this far north and had not been seen at all in Morro Bay until several years previous to this. Thanks to Alice, who told me of seeing this bird two days earlier. (It had been seen only several times in the previous 2+ months.)
Incidentally forming my anti-favorite color combination, the secondary colors of purple, orange, and green.
Sierra Discovery Trail, Nevada County, Ca. July, 2021.
I am not sure how rare this butterfly is, but I can tell you that its rare that I am able to get this good of an image of one. Between getting the zoom just right and them flying all over the place, they normaly look like a big blur spot.
Class 70's on intermodal workings to Tees Dock are rare occurrences, seing them under the splendid roof of York station even more so.
Here is Freightliner 70014 with 4N01 Leeds FLT - Tees Dock on June 16th 2016.
Of the eight remaining GO F59PH, two of them find themselves on the morning GO from Kitchener to Toronto. The sun has barely crested the horizon at eight am when GO 562 and GO 563 blast out of Guelph on the approach to Rockwood.

It is rare, that rivers freeze these days in Berlin. The past days were cold enough though.

A rare spectacle, certainly for me in this part of the world. Snow is such a rare event in this very sheltered part of Hampshire and I've never managed to catch snow in the New Forest before. It was forecast to be sleet only and I held very little hope.....until large flakes started to fall at home and I made the dash here. Had the place to myself, the access road a little sketchy at times but after an hour or so it was all melting and back to normal! Still, I'm glad I managed a few shots of some favourite compositions.

WE 430 utilizes trackage rights on the CF&E as they haul ass eastbound up and out of Ada on the former Pennsy. Power today is a pair of GP35's of Southern heritage as they split the long since decommissioned PRR signals.
Photographed in Qatar. A rare visitor.
The yellow-throated sparrow or chestnut-shouldered petronia (Gymnoris xanthocollis) is a species of sparrow found in southern Asia.
The chestnut-shouldered petronia is found from Turkey into Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and as a vagrant in Sri Lanka and possibly parts of Myanmar. It is found in forest, gardens and open scrub habitats.
An odd southbound autorack train has been making an occasional appearance on the Abbeville Subdivision. This one is Q215-28, seen passing through Elberton, GA. The usual rack trains are 210/211, so this additional traffic is welcomed.
Very unusual to see foreign power north of Duluth/Superior on the CN. The Missabe trains tend to use the same old power and the CN core trains have CN (or BCOL) leaders for their trips to and from Canada. So was a rarity to see CSXT SD40-2 8388 leading L593 south from Keenan Yard on Oct. 15, 2017.
Curving out of Culver, CSXT 8388 leads DMIR 409, CN 2131, and CN 2522 and about 40 cars of manifest for Proctor. IC 1015 had been the regular MRF leader out of Proctor but it got sent south out of town as DP unit on a manifest, so 8388 and 409 are providing the muscle, with the GEs deadheading south from the Range.
Should have been an easy chase south on the Missabe Sub. from Keenan to Proctor, but the clouds were relentless and this essence south of Culver would be my best shot of this CSX led MRF.
(Chlorogalum purpurea var. reductum),
Red Hill Rd.,
Eastern San Luis Obispo Co., California
Both varieties of this species are rare, having the California Rare Plant Rank: 1B.1. This one occurs only in San Luis Obispo Co. It is very small, the top of this plant's flowers being only about 3" (~8cm) above the ground. The genus was named after Robert Hoover, author of the original flora of San Luis Obispo (1970) who had much earlier suggested that the genus Chlorogalum was "'comprised of two separate lines of descent,' and this has been confirmed by molercular phylogenetic studies. Hooveria, comprising two diurnally-flowering species is segregated as a genus from three vesperine-flowering species, which remain as Chlorogalum."--Keil and Hoover, Vascular Plants of San Luis Obispo County, California, 2022
This Zone-tailed Hawk (Buteo albonotatus) has been seen in our area of the California Central Coast for the past couple of weeks. I've made multiple trips, a few hours for each one, and never saw him/her until this morning. In favorable light, s/he hunted, caught prey twice and returned to the same snag to eat; This is a lift off shot when it started to hunt the second time; Normally found in Mexico, parts of Arizona and New Mexico, the Zone-tail flies with larger Turkey Vultures and roosts near them, making this one hard to spot, especailly when there are 20-30 Turkey Vultures around; I was elated to see and get some shots of this one; Sony a9; Sony 200-600mm lens + 1.4X at 832mm; 1/2500 sec; f/9; ISO 2500; Topaz De Noise and Sharpen; No Crop; Hand held
Late afternoon on the Ord River cliffs and a Monjon rock wallaby (Petrogale burbidgei) appears, apparently to sit back and relax. Monjons are the smallest rock wallabies on the planet (1.3kg, 30cm) and only found in the remote northwest Kimberley and neighbouring Bonaparte Archipelago. Their speed and agility over the vertical and craggy cliff face are astounding. A rewarding capture after a long journey through the remote Australian bush.
