My photographer friend and I got one opportunity to get "the shot" of Bald Eagles fishing below The Dalles Dam on the Oregon side. That might be enough for standing in the cold breeze on uneven basalt rock for 3 hours. At least the Shad was significant in size!
Have you ever noticed how people often identify success in several different ways? For the ℎ in these photos yesterday morning was pretty successful as he heads off into the distance to eat his breakfast that consists largely of meat that is on the rare side.
On the other hand, the vole probably would not classify the morning's outing as a success. Success depends on your point of view.
Couple things to note on the second photo. Right before this photo was taken there was a brief struggle in the cornfield as the harrier established who was daddy.
As he takes off, he still does not have total control. His right leg is not firmly attached to the vole as it was in later photos and if you look closely at his head, the harrier is flying blindly as he turns his head around and tries to ascertain what needs to be done to the load on his undercarriage.
And another thing, I felt I might have been the most successful of the 3 involved here; the vole is dead, the harrier had to eat the disgusting thing and I got to record it all from a safe distance.
I made Bar B Qued Venison Ribs for Christmas eve. I had no recipe, nor had I ever made them before. They dissapeared pretty quick and the "Regular" Venison eaters of the family gave a thumbs up.
After so many failed attempts, she finally managed to stand up on the board! :)
Have a lovely day, everyone...
We watched this coyote catch 4 or 5 field mice on an early morning hunt in the frosty grasses in Yellowstone Park. Some went down in one gulp.
Raised our first Monarch! She rested on the bougainvillea for a couple of hours drying her wings, before flying away. We now have a few more caterpillars in the "butterfly nursery."
Alice is an eternal child. Staying young and the secret of human success!
She plays with her kittens although they are already 6 months old.
. . . may be a good way to describe a flower. I don't like hearing "spectacular" to describe a bombing. Michigan lily (lilium michiganense) in my native wildflower garden now. Webster Groves, Missouri.
Woody Woodpecker figured out how to get suet from the feeder.

When Polywig came into my life this past Christmas she was skinny, withdrawn, her eyes were dripping and she was scared of the world. She hid in a box for three days. Now she plays, snuggles, sings and tries to stay with me every waking moment. It's too bad people can't realize how loving one of God's little animals can change their lives for the better!
Caspian Tern. Best Viewed Large On Black They feed mainly on fish, which they dive for, hovering high over the water and then plunging. They also occasionally eat large insects, the young and eggs of other birds and rodents. They may fly up to 60 km from the breeding colony to catch fish; it often fishes on freshwater lakes as well as at sea. IMG_1866
Success!!!
This fish had been dropped after an aerial food fight at Conowingo Dam, then two juveniles tried unsuccessfully to retrieve it.
Finally this adult came down and showed the youngsters how to do it

An Olive Thrush (Turdus olivaceus) had success catching some worms in our backyard pot...

After striking out so many times when attempting to shoot the nightly M704 on the Hudson Line, I was finally able to catch it on this cool October's night. CSXT484 leads a roughly 11000ft train northbound through Peekskill.
I knit a sweater for my Middie. With sweater weather upon us, I guess I will be busy knitting up cozy sweaters for my Middies, Blythes and Cakes. Yay!!!

Sort of. This little female Hooded Merganser is a very efficient hunter, while I watched she caught 4 blennies, an eel-like fish. Seems that catching them's the easy part, though, she really had a struggle getting them down. Mind you, they weren't terribly cooperative either. There's a video here that shows her difficulty. Have a good weekend, and don't fight with your food.
Not everyone in life is successful. Some try harder than others and success seems to find those with a combination of luck and determination. And sometimes not even those people will make it.
Defeat is not a shameful conclusion.
Because to be defeated means that you actually tried.
Those who don't try can't expect success.
Or happiness.
Nebraska Central is one reason I head out west every year and this year was a success with the PVTN (Platte Valley turn) running at the right time. NCRC SD40-2's 6326, 6795, and 6331 are leading their 41 car PVTN 02 back west to Grand Island Yard after working the Central City Platte Valley ethanol plant. After a huge storm rolled in a few hours previously, they thunderheads were visible in the distance just as the sun started to show before setting. The train is seen running at track speed rolling westbound out of the town of Chapman which is MP 136 on the UP Columbus Sub. The haulage rights agreement that NCRC has with UP makes for a interesting mix of traffic as extras can also run into the Central City mix.
Chiesa di Santa Maria a Pulicciano
L'edificio religioso è sorto sull'antico castello e risale al 1220, nel periodo in cui gli Ubaldini ebbero da Federico II Castrum et curam Pulicciani. Nel 1478 fu ricostruita e successivamente restaurata. L'attuale edificio risale alla fine del XIX secolo e nel 1908 fu riaperto al culto dopo che era stato decorato all'interno dai Chini. Il 24 luglio 1927 : fu inaugurata la lunetta della facciata, realizzata dalle Fornaci San Lorenzo[1]. La lunetta, in maiolica policroma, raffigura l'Assunta è in ceramica ed è opera della manifattura Fornaci San Lorenzo la cui direzione artistica era già del 1925 di Tito Chini. Inoltre, due stemmi a rilievo sono sorretti da protomi leonine, sempre a rilievo. La facciata venne progettata dall'architetto genovese Riccardo Haupt.

Abellio London 2557 (YX17NVD) is seen at White City Bus Station on route 207.
This vehicle is branded up for route 427 as part of the new Hayes route branding scheme, so shouldn't really be on this route.
I have had a fixed bee hotel in the garden for several years without a single guest. This year I tried mounting a new hotel on an old bird table stand so I could try a more open location which has worked very well.
The photo shows a female Willughby's leafcutter bee bringing a leaf into one of the larger bedrooms. Earlier in the year red mason bees colonised the smallest tubes, sealing them with mud. Middle size tubes were colonised by patchwork leafcutter bees. Definitely an advantage having tubes of different diameter and an open aspect is obviously critical.
This pool was Extremely deep! Midnight did a swimming leap out of it. He figured out what to do when Ben helped him out. If your dog is confident to begin with and knows you always have his back, he can achieve AMAZING things!....just like kids : ))
