Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Norfolk
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

Empire Sandy was one of 1,464 Empire ships built or acquired for war service by the British government.

After a very slow morning at Burnham Prairie, I was about to pack it up and go home when a disturbance in the water caught my curiosity.
A northern water snake had caught a very large catfish by the head and was trying its hardest to subdue its victim. The snake finally went under the water with its meal and was never seen again.

this is an unusual flower from a cockspur coral tree* in the mall park. up close the flower is like a small pitcher with a spout where the stamens come out to expose the claw-like pistils. odd but flaming hot!

Years ago I bought a pack of 'Happy to Serve You' disposable paper cups in N.Y., to bring home a litlle Morning-New-York-Style to the somewhat slower countryside mornings in Denmark.
The flash was on automatic, and didn't go off on most of the images, but in this one, the coffee looks just as golden as the first cup tastes :-)
A fortress at the site possibly already existed during the time of the Great Moravian Empire in the 9th century. From about 1055, Znojmo Castle served as the residence of a Přemyslid principality within the Bohemian March of Moravia and a strategic important outpost near the border with the Bavarian March of Austria in the south. Few years later (1101), Luitpold of Znojmo, Duke of Moravia, established the Ducal Rotunda of the Virgin Mary and St Catherine in this castle, later depicted by unique scene of genealogy Bohemian and Moravian Dukes of the Přemyslid dynasty and the castle was conquered and devastated by Duke Vladislaus II of Bohemia in 1145.
In 1190, Duke Conrad II of Bohemia founded the Premonstratensian Louka Abbey at Znojmo, which became the settlement area of German-speaking immigrants in the course of the medieval Ostsiedlung movement. The royal city of Znojmo was founded shortly before 1226 by King Ottokar I of Bohemia on the plains in front of the reconstructed castle. The town privileges were confirmed by King Rudolf I of Germany in 1278. On 9 December 1437 the Luxembourg emperor Sigismund died at Znojmo and lay in state for three days at the St. Nicholas Church, before his mortal remains were transferred to Nagyvárad (Oradea) in Hungary.
From the 19th Century, Znojmo is best known as the site for the Armistice of Znaim concluded there on 12 July 1809 during the Battle of Znaim, after the decisive 7 days earlier Battle of Wagram, between Emperor Napoleon and the archduke Charles.
From the 20th Century, it is also the (alleged) birthplace of Leopold Loyka, the driver of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand's car when Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo during 1914, an event which triggered the First World War. After the war, it was part of Czechoslovakia, except during the Nazi German occupation between 1938 and 1945 when it was part of Reichsgau Niederdonau. The German Citizens were expelled in 1945 according to the Beneš decrees.
The birthplace of the sculptor Hugo Lederer and writer Charles Sealsfield, it also has a special co-operation relation with Harderwijk, Netherlands.
This bell tower serves as a central meeting point with the historic Greenfield Village Henry Ford Museum. Originally located in London England, the Sir John Bennett building was relocated to Dearborn, MI in 1931.
"Sir John Bennett liked the mythical story of Gog and Magog, the ancient protectors of Britain, so he re-created them for the front of his shop. The clock figures, Gog and Magog, toll the chimes of this shop every 15 minutes.
Sir John Bennett was a successful clock, watch and jewelry maker in London, England. This building stood a grand five stories at its original London site. It was scaled down to two stories when it was moved to Greenfield Village. Today, it is a sweet ship inside.
Built in 1931 in Greenfield Village. Exterior decorative elements from original shop in London, England

A simple meal of cheese, apple and bread. While simple, the Canadian cheddar, Honey crisp apples and home-made whole wheat molasses bread, make it delicious.
Returning from fishing, a manu o ku serves up a breakfast of colorful, translucent larval fish to its nestling. The manu o Kū, bird of the war god Kū, catches fish and squid, often alternating heads and tails after multiple sequential captures. Manu o Kū is also known throughout the tropics as the white tern (Gygis alba). They are arboreal nesting seabirds, though no nest is actually constructed. These terns lay a single egg in a hollow or forked branch of a tree to incubate and raise a chick. Strong sharp claws and reduced webbing on their feet facilitate clutching the bare branch.

Vi ho già parlato di loro, Milo Isabel e Kenia, ma mentre altri hanno trovato adozione, loro si trovano ancora al Rifugio Ohana di Banda a 4 Zampe Umbria.
Lei è Isabel, una cagnolina bionda e di piccola taglia che è al rifugio con la mamma Danielle. E' più timidina della mamma, ma ora comincia anche a uscire in passeggiata, e con un po' di pazienza si farà coraggio. Ad ogni modo non verrà data in adozione da sola, ma con la mamma. Non è molto dolce?
