Phaethornis eurynome - Only large hermit hummingbird in its range with black feathers on the throat giving it a scaled appearance. The bill is slightly curved. The back is olive-green and it has a strong mask. The tail is long and white-tipped. Similar to Dusky-throated Hermit, but Scale-throated Hermit is bigger with a longer tail. Found in the understory of humid and montane forests.
Happy Tuesday!

This chickadee was in our big apple tree earlier today, and came down low on the trunk for a nice portrait shoot.
Snakes, like other reptiles, have skin covered in scales. Snakes are completely covered with keratinous scales or shields, of various shapes and sizes. The scales protect their body and, aid in locomotion, allow to maintain humidity within it, alter surface characteristics such as roughness to aid in camouflage, and in some cases they are even useful in capturing their prey.

This comparatively large hummingbird, which is endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome, is easily identified within its range by virtue of it being the only larger, predominantly green and gray-plumaged hermit, with a rather long, decurved, bill. The Scale-throated Hermit inhabits the understory of both lowland and highland forests, as well as old second growth, from southeast Brazil (as far north as southern Bahia) to eastern Paraguay and northeast Argentina, and is recorded at 2250 m at least. It feeds, like most hermit hummingbirds, by trap-lining, although some arthropods are also taken, and the species will periodically also visit feeders to take ‘artificial’ nectar. This hermit is tolerably common in most parts of its range.

The line along the shores of Puget Sound at Edmonds had its moments. Like many it seemed to be quiet for lengthy periods and then a series of freights would pass within no time at all. This loaded coal train surprised me whilst we were waiting in the car to board the ferry to Kingston. I had been ready for some potential bird photography so I had to make do with using my long lens. That being said this train was over two miles away when I took this photo.
The view looks north and sees BNSF unit 5302 at the rear of the consist. A mile and a half further up the coast three other locomotives propel the freight towards Canada with this export.

There's two paths leading up towards Blencathra's summit, the one on the left goes up via Sharp Edge, the one on the right is an easier safer way.. the choice is yours, whatever you prefer :-)

I chose the wrong time to visit this waterfall, a great lack of water.. there is the remains of an old mill on the site, not much remains and it is mostly covered by the undergrowth.
