I have been outside gardening in Ct - which is a very different experience than gardening in Ca! - and not shooting birds so I'm going back...way back in my archives!
I thought this was interesting in that it was taken in similar conditions and was shot with the same camera body I use now, the 1dx, and the earlier version of the 100-400 in comparison with the new 100-400 in the previous post
Hoping all are well and enjoying the spring arrivals...birds, plants, etc!
The entrance to the trail is well indicated with a sign located in front of the Lago Gutiérrez Ranger Section. You have to pay close attention to the signs and not leave the path.
The road is wide and begins with a very slight slope bordering the Pescadero Stream and in the first meters it is crossed by a bike lane.
It is a trail that in the first part is self-guided and has informative posters about the Patagonian Andean forest and its natural processes. Arriving at a detour, this one indicates to continue to the left (the one on the right leads to the Cascada de los Duendes), and the next detour indicates to the right (the one on the left leads to Playa Muñoz and Refugio Emilio Frey). This last part is quite steep. You have to pay attention to the roots so as not to stumble.
The viewpoint offers a panoramic view of Lake Gutiérrez and the surrounding hills.
You return along the same path, paying attention at the crossroads so as not to get lost.

Icebergs form when chunks of ice calve, or break off, from glaciers, ice shelves, or a larger iceberg. Icebergs travel with ocean currents, sometimes smashing up against the shore or getting caught in shallow waters ( credit NSIDC). We sailed into Paradise Bay it was very dark with mist. Then there was a break in the clouds over the mountain slope. This photo was taken in the mid afternoon. The seas were still but visibility was poor. The Antarctic Peninsula is the northernmost part of the mainland of Antarctica, located at the base of the Southern Hemisphere. Antarctica is a continent, bigger than Europe, North America or Australia,
As we get higher the snow gets deeper. This shows the steepness of the hill we are climbing. Beyond can be seen Millstone Hill, also covered in snow.
to fling myself down in some sloping meadow and feel the sunshine envelop me and the warm winds pass over me, to see them tossing the grasses and tugging at the trees and driving the white clouds across the blue, and to feel the great earth revolving under me — for if you lie long enough you can really get the sense of sailing through space :-)

Chamaepetes goudotii goudotii (Sickle-winged guan / Pava maraquera)
The sickle-winged guan (Chamaepetes goudotii) is a species of bird in the chachalaca, guan, and curassow family Cracidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The subspecies of sickle-winged guan are distributed thus:
C. g. goudotii, western and central Andes of Colombia south to Nariño Department
C. g. sanctaemarthae, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of northeastern Colombia
C. g. fagani, west slope of the Andes from Colombia's Nariño Department south to Ecuador's El Oro Province
C. g. tschudii, east slope of the Andes from southern Colombia through Ecuador to Peru's Department of San Martín
C. g. rufiventris, east slope of the Andes from central to southern Peru and isolated areas in north and central Bolivia.
The sickle-winged guan inhabits humid and wet forest, preferring tall forest but also found at edges and in secondary forest. The sickle-winged guan is generally a bird of middle elevations. In Colombia is mostly between 1,100 and 2,500 m (3,600 and 8,200 ft).
“The Quebec College of Physicians & Surgeons proposed to extend Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) to infants born with disabilities up to one year old!”
First they dehumanize the unborn and kill them, then they come after the born. The Nazi’s started with the disabled too.
Here is a government funded children’s activity book on assisted suicide:

Ezekiel 32:5-6 “I will strew your flesh upon the mountains and fill the valleys with your carcass. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.”

Marmolada and Lake Fedaia (Dolomites) 20210922
This wonderful Dolomite lake at an altitude of 2057 meters is located on the slopes of the famous Marmolada glacier, from which it originates.
Hakuba is a municipality located to the north of Azumino Valley. It is in the same tectonic depression called Fossa Magna (Itoigawa - Shizuoka Tectonic Line) as Azumino and Suwa, but in the different watershed of the Himekawa (姫川) river that rises in Hakuba and flows northward into the Sea of Japan. Hakuba municipality calls the watershed Hakuba Valley.
Hakuba Valley is famous for the heavy snowfall in winter that is caused by the northwestern monsoon across the Sea of Japan. It is only 50km to Itoigawa (糸魚川) in Niigata prefecture (新潟県) on the Japan Sea coast. Hakuba and Otari (小谷), its northern neighbour, heavily depend on ski tourism.
This photo was taken from a Iwatake gondola lift.
Not a great photo but the first Pac-slope sighting of the fall.

On the southeast end of Jökulsárlón, a proglacial lake in southeast Icleland, Icebergs that have been floating on the lake get stacked up as they try to flow out Jökulsa, the lake’s outlet to the sea. The icebergs come from the ice that calves off Breiðamerkurjökull into the lake. Breiðamerkurjökull is a large glacial tongue that extends from southern part of the Vatnajökull ice cap. The Vatnajökull ice field covers an area of 3,200 square miles (8,400 square km) with an average ice thickness of more than 3,000 feet (900 meters). Several volcanoes, some active, and other mountains lie beneath it. By both volume and area, this monster glacier is the largest in Iceland and second largest in Europe after the ice cap on Severny Island which is the northern island of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in Russia. Most of Vatnajökull including the Breiðamerkurjökull lies in Vatnajökull National Park.
Breiðamerkurjökull is currently constantly retreating, breaking and melting, which means Jökulsárlón (The Iceberg Lagoon) continues to increase in size. It is less than a 100 years old, but is currently the deepest lake in Iceland.
