This cormorant was working one part of the lake, then evidently was dissatisfied, so moved to the west end. Fortunately for me, I was well situated for the flight.
Haus Bürgel blickt auf eine spannende und wechselvolle Geschichte zurück. Bereits im 1. Jh n. Chr. Siedlung von römische Soldaten am Rhein, der Grenze zu den germanischen Stämmen.
Als im 4. Jahrhundert die Einfälle der Franken aus dem rechtsrheinischen Raum immer häufiger wurden, erbauten die Römer eine Kette von Militärkastellen am linken Rheinufer. 14 Jh.: Rheinverlagerung, das ursprünglich linksrheinisch erbaute Haus Bürgel liegt seitdem auf der rechten Rheinseite. Das Kastell, auf dessen heute noch sichtbaren Fundamenten Haus Bürgel ruht, besaß dicke Mauern und zwölf Türme. Im frühen Mittelalter wurde auf der Ruine des Kastells eine fränkische Burganlage errichtet.

Haus Bürgel looks back on an exciting and eventful history. As early as the 1st cent. Chr. settlement of Roman soldiers on the Rhine, the border to the Germanic tribes.
When the invasions of the Franks from the area on the right bank of the Rhine became more frequent in the 4th century, the Romans built a chain of military forts on the left bank of the Rhine. 14th century: Relocation of the Rhine, Haus Bürgel, originally built on the left bank of the Rhine, has since been located on the right bank of the Rhine. The fort, on whose foundations Haus Bürgel still rests today, had thick walls and twelve towers. In the early Middle Ages, a Frankish castle complex was built on the ruins of the fort.

The Church of Saint John Nepomuk in Park Szczytnicki.
The little Church of Saint John Nepomuk is located in the vicinity of ul Mikołaja Kopernika and Aleja Dąbska in Park Szczytnicki.
Together with the Japanese Garden, the church is considered a highlight of the historic park.
The site has been included in the Register of Objects of Cultural Heritage. Its timber structure, which dates back to the 16th century,
and was made by carpenters from Stare Koźle in Upper Silesia.
This is where the church was initially located. Later on it was relocated to Kędzierzyn, and in 1913 to Wroclaw.
The church was on display as part of the Centenary Exhibition (which also focused on the history of Silesia)
It's still "Mother's Day" in my time zone so I'm sneaking this one in under the wire. Long-tailed Weasel mom relocates her youngster, half dragging half carrying. She's probably saying something like "I TOLD you not to play in the street". I'm sure our hard-working moms of the world can relate.
Höfn is an Icelandic fishing town in the southeastern part of the country. It lies near Hornafjörður fjord.
The town, the second largest in the southeastern part of Iceland, offers scenic views of Vatnajökull (the largest ice cap in Europe by volume). The community was formerly known as Hornafjarðarbær between 1994 and 1998.
Höfn is located on a peninsula in the southeast of Iceland. The name Höfn means harbour and it is a fishing port surrounded on three sides by the sea, with beaches on a long shoreline to the southeast. Shoals and glacial rivers traverse this area with many shifting lagoons and sand reefs being formed. Höfn is surrounded by several small islands to the east of the town, the largest of which is Mikley, followed by Krókalátur and Hellir.
In Nes there is a small village called Nesjahverfi. ReykjavÃk, the capital of Iceland, is about 458 kilometres from Höfn along the south coast. The headland of the town is called the Ingólfshöfði, which is 76 metres high and 85 kilometres (in a direct line) from the town. Sea birds such as skuas, guillemots, fulmar and puffins can be seen from the headland.
Höfn was founded by the merchant Ottó TulinÃus in 1897 who relocated a trading place which had been established in 1861 from Papós, an area 15 kms northwest of Höfn, to the present site of the town. Höfn had 300 inhabitants in 1946. An economic boom started after the construction of the bridge Hornafjarðarbrú in 1961, and with a length of 255 metres the bridge was the second largest bridge in Iceland at that time. Höfn attained municipal status on 31 December 1988 and had 1 647 inhabitants in 1989.
Had to relocate some mantises that were protecting our cucumber patch so I could remove the old and plant some new. I was worried about doing so thinking it would freak out and move on. It didn't. Just after putting this one down it immediate caught a bug and proceeded to have lunch like business as usual.
Black Skimmers relocating along the shore line on a wind swept day.
From FWC:
Appearance:
The black skimmer is a seabird with defining physical characteristics that make it easily distinguishable from others. The key physical feature of the skimmer is its large red and black bill. The bill begins to widen at the top and gradually becomes smaller as it forms a sharp tip at the end of the bill. The lower part of the bill is longer than the top, which is important because they use their bill to skim along the top of the water to catch fish, for which they are aptly named. Skimmers can reach a height of 19.7 inches (50 centimeters) with a wingspan of 3 to 3.5 feet (.9-1.1 meters) (The Cornell Lab of Ornithology 2011, E. Sachs pers. comm. 2011). Skimmers have a black back, black wings with white edging, and a white belly and head.
On one of the roads towards the great freshwater lake named Tonle Sap, central Cambodia. Tonle Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia flooding a vast area in the rainy season and retreating significantly in the dry season. Small homes are often relocated closer to the waters edge in the dry season.
Cormorants moving from one end of the pond at Delores Fenwick Nature Center to the other. About 50 birds in this mini-migration. Could have used more DoF. Pearland, Texas.
At Fernald, Lodge Pond is a sure-fire spot to observe many ducks. if one is patient, afternoon light hits the ducks flying in or simply relocating across the pond. The dry weeds on the banks provide great background.
I was thrilled to see this bird standing in the upper most pond of Fernhill Wetlands mitigation area. I got as close as I could without scaring it, took numerous photos of it sitting still and hunting, but I really wanted a flight shot. I don't intentionally disturb birds, so I waited and waited. Finally after about an hour, two people walked up to the pond even nearer the bird, and loudly said, "I WONDER WHAT THAT PHOTOGRAPHER IS LOOKING AT?" Seconds later I had my shot!
Three images from Fernald preserve (a former uranium enrichment facility and EPA super site). lots of gadwalls, many relocating to more secluded ponds at the sight of my telephoto lens.
BNSF 6643 heads down the BNSF Hannibal Sub. just north of Elsberry, MO. with 25 CitiRail Gevo's in tow. Running in a 1x2 formation to haul the units at this point of the journey under the symbol D-ALNSTL3 05T. This is 1 of 4 planned moves to relocate the units from Alliance, NE to St. Louis, MO. The units are headed for the Prairie Lines yard for storage in St. Louis, MO., I'm guessing that Citi got tired of paying BNSF for storage.
CitiRail units in this move: 1333, 1410, 1212, 1350, 1429, 1303, 1332, 1434, 1412, 1347, 1318, 1435, 1213, 1208, 1325, 1338, 1210, 1310, 1345, 1415, 1411, 1314, 1419, 1316, & 1201.

The Alekša River or Alekšupīte.
The Alekšupīte River flows directly along the walls of many buildings which is why Kuldīga has been called the Venice of Latvia. Initially the buildings of the town centre were constructed as the suburb of Kuldīga. In 1701, during the Great Northern War, the Swedish army invaded Kuldīga Castle and in 1709 it became uninhabitable, but in the 19th century the castle ruins were relocated.
Praying Mantis
A species of Mantid that I don't see very often. You can see some yellow colouring. This year we have cleared the garden alongside our driveway where these appeared from time to time. This one was on our Wisteria, looks like it has found a new home.
Muir Log House built in 1879 and relocated in 1971 to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin Manitoba Canada
The house was built in 1879, by the Muir family, who were early pioneers in the MacGregor district. The house was moved to the Museum in 1971, from the just-southeast of the present town of MacGregor. It is a one and half story structure that measures 14 feet by 16 feet with a wood shingled roof and wooden eaves trough. On the wall in the kitchen is a photograph of the first generation (in later years) of the Muir family with five children from 1910. This was quite a small number considering the third generation that lived in the house had ten children. The house is furnished with many artifacts that belonged to the Muir family dating from between 1860 and 1900.

Marsh Life 11
Spring returns to the Fobbing Marsh. A swan, sensing a presence, relocates 100 metres downstream. No panic, no drama.
Fobbing, Essex, England
It was built in 1943 by the residents of the Manzanar War Relocation Camp as a monument to honor those who died during incarceration and thus would not be able to return home. Today, the 10-foot tower stands as symbol of peace and resilience. Annual ceremonies of the survivors of the camp and their descendants include placing of wreaths of origami peace doves.
Behind the tower, Mt Williamson, the second highest peak in the Sierra Nevada Mountains rises 14,379 feet.
Ashikaga, Tochigi, Japan
It is the relocation project of a three-span arch bridge. The work had been carried out over approximately three years, and it was successfully completed two days after this day.
That relocated headlight lets you know the leader on Norfolk Southern's train 290 wasn't always a thoroughbred. NS 3553 was built in 1979 for the Burlington Northern; BNSF sold it as surplus at the turn of the Century. Helm Financial had it in leasing service until 2013 when Norfolk Southern bought it and others to add to their fleet.
Relocation of a puffin (Fratercula arctica) conference
Umzug einer Konferenz von Papageitauchern (Fratercula arctica)
It's embarrassing how many cobwebs and dog hairs the small animals find behind our furniture. Here I bring this stag beetle girl outside. Yesterday we had a cornu aspersum with cobwebs and dog hairs. We've put it outside. Fun fact is, that the giant house spiders don't collect dirt before I find them and scream (I would be good in a bad horror movie). Two days ago, I saw a giant house spider in the bathroom. I screamed, and the brave husband caught the girl (it was a girl) in a glass and threw her outside. I'm sure she comes right back inside to look for a cosy spot for to make a cocoon. She was completely clean!

The last portrait of my oldest, Cassandra, before she left for Spain. She's starting college, majoring in forensic pathology. She will spend three months in Madrid, before relocating to Syracuse, New York, to finish her education. We sure do miss the Li'l Bear.
"the Black-capped Chickadee is a non-migratory species found coast to coast, including much of Canada and the northern two thirds of the United States. Resident throughout its range, this species has northern populations that must withstand short days and very cold temperatures during winter. Under such conditions, individuals lower their body temperature at night and enter regulated hypothermia, saving significant amounts of energy. In addition, they store food and have exceptional spatial memory to relocate cached items."

With Canada Day and the concomitant fireworks coming, I decided to experiment with previous fireworks photos. I took a 2023 fireworks photo from one location and merged it with a daylight phone photo from 2026 from another location. Obviously, I darkened the daylight photo.

This was taken last year before all the fuss with moving and relocating and settling into a new home. Mom's chair and Snowy are in place and he has reclaimed his spot for morning naps. He avoids the phone/camera and real camera so I was glad to see this one again. It makes me smile to see the tip of Snowy's green felt hat. Happy Caturday everyone.
