Overshadowed by her marginally higher neighbour, Bidean Nam Bian, to which she is connected by means of a col just a few meters too high to give her Munro status, Stob Coire nan Lochan is most often just used as a stopping point with a nice view for Munro baggers trying to bag Bidean and Sgreamhach in a wee round.
Too bad, in my opinion, as this mountain, still one of the tallest in Argyll, offers lots of interesting climbing on it's north face, and short walk-in times from the main road. The crags start at around 830-850 meters, and go right up to the pyramid-shaped summit.
Rock around here is mainly rhyolithic/andesite lava, with a granite core because this used to be the centre of the Glen Coe caldera. Because the centre of this ancient supervolcano (think Yellowstone) lies right around the Three Sisters, anyone interested in geology as well as climbing is going to have the time of their life here. The summit of Stob Coire nan Lochan consists almost entirely out of rare Andesite pillars, and the bottom of the coire itself cuts into the granite of the old magmachamber.
Angolan Colobus monkey (Colobus angolensis) from the rainforests of the Congo Basin. While these old world monkeys are called Angolan, few are found in that country. San Diego Zoo Conservation Status: Least Concern

The status of Yellow-crowned Night Heron has changed since the publication of my 2010 edition of Birds of Peru (Schulenberg et al) since that book indicates “Fairly common in mangroves of northwest; very rare migrant south to Arequipa.” The entry does add “has bred in Lima,” however the range map only shows the species in the northwest. Fast forward to 2022, and eBird shows lots of records in the Lima area and some distance south. My guide Juan Julca and I had a close look at this individual in a small creek in the Pantanos de Villa wetlands in Lima.

Greater one-horned rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis) mom named "Tanaya" with her calf born April 11, 2020. While not yet named, the female calf has been nicknamed "Little T" . She and her mom live in the 40 acre Asian Plains Field exhibit of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
Conservation Status: Vulnerable primarily due to habitat loss, poaching threats and illegal traffic in rhino horn.
Escarcha (puma concolor) is known for her extraordinary calmness and confidence when humans are present. In part this comes from her mother, Petaca, who was known for her unusually relaxed demeanor, and in part from growing up in an area where pumas are protected and humans are not seen as a threat.

Marstrand is a seaside locality on the Swedish west-coast.y, Sweden. It had 1,319 inhabitants in 2010 and has held city privileges since 1200. The most striking feature about Marstrand is the 17th-century fortress Carlsten, named after King Carl X Gustav of Sweden. The town got its name from its location on the island Marstrandsön.
During the last quarter of the 18th century Marstrand had the free port status, granted by the King Gustav III. Marstrand is a popular sailing resort in summer time. It is also the venue of the annual Match Cup Sweden, a match race sailing competition.

Evening Grosbeak has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22720702/131500502
Evening Grosbeak is a member of the Finches family (Fringillidae), and not as one might expect the Cardinals, Grosbeaks, and relatives (Cardinalidae). Such are the vagaries of common names. This species certainly has a heavy bill, typical of a seedeater. Males, as in this image, have a bright yellow superciliary (‘eyebrow’) and other yellowish highlights; females and juveniles are greyish. Some authorities now place this species in the genus Hesperiphona. This individual was seen in the Weaselhead Natural Area in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in wintertime — Evening Grosbeak is a year-round resident of southern Canada and the western USA, with some birds spending the colder months in central and eastern USA.

Snowy Owl has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22689055/205475036
This first year female Snowy Owl was unconcerned at my presence, though I wasn’t standing out in the open nor was I using using a short lens to get this photo. Rather, I was inside my vehicle and deploying an 800 mm lens, so this bird was not as close as it might seem [the image is also cropped]. Although it was buzzed by a Common Raven at one point, this majestic bird definitely exuded an aura of not being too worried about any threats.

LOS FOTOGRAFOS ENTIENDEN EL TITULO DE LA FOTO, PERO ALGUNOS FAMILIARES NO. POR ESO HEMOS SIDO LLAMADOS SIMPATICAMENTE POR NUESTRA HERMANA MAYOR COMO "LOS SIN DOLIENTES" JAJAJAJA
Ya lo dije una vez.... ERAMOS CUERDOS COMO LOS DEMAS HASTA EL DIA EN QUE TOMAMOS UNA CAMARA EN LAS MANOS.
AsÍ mi hermana Joalhi dió un brinco como gata barcina y apareció de sorpresa ante la nieve de Yosemite cuando se enteró que había nevado y el cimarrón mayor despertó debajo de una mata de Pimienta en la Cordillera Central ante el aviso de Enrique de que las lluvias, el frío y los vientos del invierno tumbarían las pimientas y yo perdería este momento anhelado de mis adoradas ciguas amarillas- Spindalis dominicensis colgando del ramillete!! Cuando ambos nos reportamos desde nuestros lugares al grupo familiar de los diez hermanos en Wapsap, algunos tragaron en seco, otros torcieron el hocico, otros aplaudieron como mi hermana COCO , otros oraron por nosotros como Ada, pero nuestra hermana mayor que ahora es como nuestra mamá solo atinó a decir....... LOS SIN DOLIENTES ANDAN EN SU MUNDO , YO ME REÍ Y RECORDE A MAMA, LA CUAL ESTOY SEGURO HUBIERA DICHO...... CADA QUIEN CORRE DETRAS DE SU PELOTA, PARA REFERIRSE A LOS JUGADORES DE FUTBOL EN LOS PARTIDOS TELEVISADOS.
Si nos quedamos entre panties y calzoncillos, Yosyta hubiese perdido su foto del gran capitán cubierto de nieve y yo mi serie de la cigua amarilla colgando de las masetas de pimienta, lo que confirma que la fotografía NO ES SUERTE, es estar ahí en el momento oportuno y en el preciso momento de frisar el tiempo en segundos , anteponiendo la resaca de año nuevo, abandonar a la familia y por supuesto quedar sometido a las críticas sociales e inocentadas de una hermana maravillosa como lo es SALVA!!!
En conclusión cada quien tiene su historia y el don de ser feliz!! ASI QUE ME VEO OBLIGADO A REPETIR EL HIMNO CIMARRONICO CON TRADUCCION AL ESPAÑOL

For more than 55 years, these two things have been very constant. The Pere Marquette era mini searchlights that protect the diamond at AnnPere just outside of Howell, MI. have a pair of GLC GP35's roll by under darkness. For only going 10 mph, the rumble of the old 35's with 109 cars was something to be heard in the dark.
Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), the world's largest living carnivorous marsupial native exclusively to the island state of Tasmania, Australia.
Since 1996, a rare, contagious, and fatal cancer has devastated the population, causing an 80% decline in sightings. While they became extinct on mainland Australia roughly 3,000 years ago, conservation groups like Aussie Ark began reintroducing healthy devils to a sanctuary in New South Wales in 2020 to create an "insurance population".
Two Tasmanian Devils live at the San Diego Zoo.

"Habari" herd sire giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
A dramatic drop in giraffe populations caused by habitat loss, poaching, and civil unrest has caused these iconic African animals to be reclassified from least concern to vulnerable to extinction. The loss, mostly unreported, is being called a "silent extinction"

Located on the border between Embu das Artes and Cotia, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima is an impressive neo-Gothic temple under the care of the Heralds of the Gospel. Its construction began in 2004 and it was elevated to the status of a Minor Basilica by the Holy See in 2014. One of its great distinctions is that this masterpiece was sponsored by descendants of the Brazilian Imperial Family, adding a touch of nobility and history to the site. Furthermore, its bells come from the renowned French foundry Fonderie Paccard, the first of their kind to be installed in Brazil. A setting of faith and royalty that provided me with these unforgettable snapshots.
Localizada na divisa entre Embu das Artes e Cotia, a Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Fátima é um impressionante templo em estilo neogótico sob os cuidados dos Arautos do Evangelho. Sua construção começou em 2004 e foi elevada à condição de Basílica Menor pela Santa Sé em 2014. Um dos seus grandes diferenciais é que esta obra de arte foi patrocinada por descendentes da Família Imperial Brasileira, adicionando um toque de nobreza e história ao local. Além disso, seus sinos são da renomada fundição francesa Fonderie Paccard, os primeiros a serem instalados no Brasil. Um cenário de fé e realeza que me proporcionou esses cliques inesquecíveis.
Située à la frontière entre Embu das Artes et Cotia, la Basilique Notre-Dame du Rosaire de Fatima est un impressionnant édifice de style néo-gothique sous la garde des Hérauts de l'Évangile. Sa construction a débuté en 2004 et elle a été élevée au rang de Basilique mineure par le Saint-Siège en 2014. L'une de ses grandes particularités est que ce chef-d'œuvre a été sponsorisé par des descendants de la Famille Impériale Brésilienne, ajoutant une touche de noblesse et d'histoire au lieu. De plus, ses cloches proviennent de la célèbre fonderie française Fonderie Paccard, les premières à être installées au Brésil. Un décor de foi et de royauté qui m'a offert ces clichés inoubliables.

Situata al confine tra Embu das Artes e Cotia, la Basilica di Nostra Signora del Rosario di Fatima è un imponente tempio in stile neogotico affidato alle cure degli Araldi del Vangelo. La sua costruzione iniziò nel 2004 e fu elevata alla dignità di Basilica minore dalla Santa Sede nel 2014. Uno dei suoi grandi punti di forza è che questo capolavoro è stato patrocinato da discendenti della Famiglia Imperiale Brasiliana, aggiungendo un tocco di nobiltà e storia al luogo. Inoltre, le sue campane provengono dalla rinomata fonderia francese Fonderie Paccard, le prime del genere ad essere installate in Brasile. Uno scenario di fede e regalità che mi ha regalato questi scatti indimenticabili.
An der Grenze zwischen Embu das Artes und Cotia gelegen, ist die Basilika Unserer Lieben Frau vom Rosenkranz von Fatima ein beeindruckendes neugotisches Gotteshaus unter der Obhut der Herolde des Evangeliums. Der Bau begann im Jahr 2004 und wurde 2014 vom Heiligen Stuhl zur Kleinen Basilika erhoben. Eine ihrer großen Besonderheiten ist, dass dieses Meisterwerk von Nachkommen der Kaiserlichen Familie Brasiliens gefördert wurde, was dem Ort einen Hauch von Adel und Geschichte verleiht. Darüber hinaus stammen ihre Glocken aus der renommierten französischen Gießerei Fonderie Paccard, den ersten, die in Brasilien installiert wurden. Eine Kulisse aus Glaube und Königtum, die mir diese unvergesslichen Schnappschüsse bescherte.
Gelegen op de grens tussen Embu das Artes en Cotia, is de Basiliek van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van de Rozenkrans van Fatima een indrukwekkende neogotische tempel onder de hoede van de Herauten van het Evangelie. De bouw begon in 2004 en werd in 2014 door de Heilige Stoel verheven tot de status van Kleine Basiliek. Een van zijn grote bijzonderheden is dat dit meesterwerk werd gesponsord door afstammelingen van de Braziliaanse Keizerlijke Familie, wat een vleugje adel en geschiedenis aan de plek toevoegt. Bovendien komen de klokken van de gerenommeerde Franse klokkengieterij Fonderie Paccard, de eerste die in Brazilië werden geïnstalleerd. Een decor van geloof en koningschap dat mij deze onvergetelijke kiekjes opleverde.
エンブー・ダス・アルテスとコチアの境界に位置するファティマのロザリオの聖母聖堂は、福音の使者会が管理する印象的なネオゴシック様式の教会です。建設は2004年に始まり、2014年に聖座によって小バシリカに指定されました。この芸術作品がブラジル帝室の子孫によって支援されたことは、この地に気高さと歴史の一筆を加える、大きな特徴の一つです。さらに、その鐘はブラジルで初めて設置された、有名なフランスのパカール鋳造所製です。信仰と王権の情景が、私にこれらの忘れられない一枚をもたらしました。
تقع بازيليكا سيدة روزاريو فاطيما على الحدود بين إمبو داس أرتيس وكوتيا، وهي معبد مثير للإعجاب على الطراز القوطي الجديد تحت رعاية مبشري الإنجيل. بدأ بناؤها في عام 2004 وتم رفعها إلى مرتبة الكنيسة الصغرى من قبل الكرسي الرسولي في عام 2014. من أهم ما يميزها هو أن هذه التحفة الفنية قد تمت برعاية أحفاد العائلة الإمبراطورية البرازيلية، مما يضفي لمسة من النبلاء والتاريخ على المكان. علاوة على ذلك، فإن أجراسها من إنتاج مسابك فوندري باكار الفرنسية الشهيرة، وهي الأولى من نوعها التي يتم تركيبها في البرازيل. مشهد من الإيمان والملكية أتاح لي هذه اللقطات التي لا تنسى.
这座令人印象深刻的哥特复兴式圣殿位于恩布达斯阿尔特斯和科蒂亚的交界处，由福音传播会管理。它就是法蒂玛玫瑰经圣母大殿。其建设始于2004年，并于2014年被圣座升格为次级圣殿。它的一大独特之处在于，这件建筑杰作是由巴西皇室的后裔赞助的，为这个地方增添了一份高贵与历史的色彩。此外，其钟声来自著名的法国帕卡德铸造厂，这是该厂在巴西安装的第一批大钟。这个融合了信仰与皇室气息的场景，让我捕捉到了这些难忘的画面。

Garza Tricolor, Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor)
Status: Common Resident (RC)
The tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor), formerly known in North America as the Louisiana heron, is a small heron. It is a resident breeder from the Gulf states of the United States and northern Mexico south through Central America and the Caribbean to central Brazil and Peru. There is some post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range.
Tricolored heron's breeding habitat is sub-tropical swamps. It nests in colonies, often with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. In each clutch, 3–7 eggs are typically laid.
The tricolored heron stalks its prey in shallow or deeper water, often running as it does so. It eats fish, crustaceans, reptiles, and insects.
