Burchell’s Coucal is also often referred to as the Rain Bird due to it calling before, during and after rain. The call sounds like water bubbling out of a narrow-necked bottle. You can listen to one at this link www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D22EwszPjE

Runoff at Yellowstone's Firehole Spring on it's way to the Firehole River. The mix of colors and textures fascinate and captivate me. I spent a few years as a microbiologist/chemist long ago. The small world is a mind bender.
More examples in comments.
"The hydrothermal features of Yellowstone are magnificent evidence of Earth’s volcanic activity. Amazingly, they are also habitats in which microscopic organisms called thermophiles—“thermo” for heat, “phile” for lover—survive and thrive."
ps: I like it when you call me Phil.
"Species, unseen to the human eye, thrive in waters as acidic as the liquid in your car battery and hot enough to blister your skin. Some create layers that look like molten wax on the surface of steaming alkaline pools. Still others, apparent to us through the odors they create, exist only in murky, sulfuric caldrons that stink worse than rotten eggs.
Today, many scientists study Yellowstone’s thermophiles. Some of these microbes are similar to the first life forms capable of photosynthesis—the process of using sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide to oxygen, sugars, and other by-products. These life forms, called cyanobacteria, began to create an atmosphere that would eventually support human life. Cyanobacteria are found in some of the colorful mats and streamers of Yellowstone’s hot springs." nps.gov
Thanks for your visit. Always appreciated!
Last Saturday, we packed our rucksacks for another wonderful sunny day on Dartmoor - this time a lovely round we did last year for the first time including Hound Tor, Hayne Down and the famous granite stack that is known as Bowerman's Nose. From this perspective it really looks like a face with a large chin and a distintive nose. There's all sorts of legends and stories associated with this spectacular rock formation.
Swainson's Thrush.

The Helena Local swings through a broad S-curve between Winston and Louisville on MRL's 2nd Sub. They'll meet a train at Louisville, but otherwise they'll easily cruise down Winston Hill back to Helena.

Miss Sugar, a female Anna's Humming bird, coming in to feed at one of our feeders. She had been gathering nesting material, as she has a small piece of spider web on her beak! It is that time of year, I can't wait to see the juvenile Hummingbirds

"A large, dark jay of evergreen forests in the mountainous West. Steller’s Jays are common in forest wildernesses but are also fixtures of campgrounds, parklands, and backyards, where they are quick to spy bird feeders as well as unattended picnic items."

This Bewick's wren was flitting around the brush, then emerged briefly on this log for some less cluttered shots.
Zumwalt Prairie has the highest concentration of raptors of any area in the US. Swainson's Hawks migrate from South America to nest in the aspens found on nearby slopes.

Yesterday didn't quite go to plan. More storm than light. Quite brutal at times with wind, rain and hail. I did catch a few rainbows including a faint one here.
Realised I've only ever posted one photo form Parson's Tor even though I've been many times. The light was quite nice at this time, if a little weak.
Taken at Campbell Valley Park, Langley, British Columbia.
My first encounter on this particular morning was with this little busybody who just had to check out what he heard lumbering along the pathway close to his territory.
Bewick's Wren
Han sido muchas las hectáreas calcinadas este año por el fuego con peligro incluso para las personas y pueblos que han sufrido muy de cerca los incendios, hasta que los castigos no sean ejemplares seguiremos asistiendo cada año a la destrucción de nuestros bosques.
Tomorrow is April's Fool Day so listen to Mr Horse here and have some fun :)
Cheers everyone.

A second shot from Boscastle taken on Sunday evening. I spent a good while stood on top cliffs here just enjoying the view, I was up there for about an hour or so before actual sunset and it was just lovely albeit a little bit windy.
I love the S Bend entrance into Boscastle Harbour, it really is a wonderful bit of coastline.

305) Temminck’s Sunbird
Temminck's Sunbird, Aethopyga temminckii, Kelicap Merah
One of rare species of sunbird that can be found in up to 1800 m altitude in Borneo, Sumatra, Malaysia, and south west Thailand. This bird's common name and Latin binomial commemorate the Dutch aristocrat and zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck.
This is Squire Boone's Mill at Squire Boone's Village in Corydon, IN. I love old mills. My great-great grandfather owned one in Waterford, IN and his father owned one in Battlecreek, MI. They didn't always grind grain but concentrated on wool and fabrics and wood sometimes.
Planted by Mum the year before she passed away. Every year, when it flowers, it gives me lovely warm memories. Not sure what it’s called but it’s a climber and smells absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks for viewing 😀💕

Here's an image from last winter at a spot called Morant's Curve. As far as I know, there is no schedule for when the trains come and it's just a matter of luck if you catch one or not. It was a cold, sub-zero morning and of course, there were no signs of the train. I went down to the river to photograph some of the mist and ice up close. If you look carefully you can see my tracks way out by the water's edge. Suddenly, I heard the train whistle and all I could think was "Crap, I missed the train." Regardless, I picked up my gear and ran as fast as I could in my big winter boots back up the slope. I threw down my tripod and no sooner than I did this, the train rounded the corner. While down at the river I was doing longer exposures. In my haste to beat the train, I didn't increase my ISO for faster shutter speed. Thus, this was the only usable shot I got since the train was too blurry in the rest of the sequence. My buddy Jeremy was smart and stayed put at this location!
This granite cross is a famous landmark on Dartmoor, close to the Warren House Inn. It served/s as a marker in the moorland and is also a boundary marker for two parishes. The real age of that cross is unknown but it must be really ancient. I was lucky to have the sheep as a nice bit of extra interest at that moment.
Birch Tor, our picnic destination on our short walk that day can be seen in the background on top of the hill.

Hey look, he’s got his own spotlights! (Terrible, I know) Bit of a tough hike up in some beautiful drizzly weather, but extra-worth it with this ratty-lookin adult giving great views!
Barrow's Goldeneye (Bucephala islandica) male was observed with several other waterfowl on an urban wetland in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
