Triple Double - Looks like these pygmy owls were aware that the NBA playoffs started and wanted to put up a triple double. Jokes aside, I took a 1600 mile road trip this past week to Southern California all the way to the California-Mexico border. I had many mammal and reptile lifers as well as a good photo lifer of the Northern Pygmy-Owl. Up until now, I only had record shots and hadn't observed their behavior closely. After exploring the forest and not seeing anything, I heard a soft trilling just as I was about to give up. I noticed this pair of owls huddled together up on a bush. To my surprise, the female flew down to a stump and grabbed a cached rodent. The male followed and mated with her as she was feeding on the rodent. He proceeded to catch a lizard within the same hour, gift it to her, and mate yet again. The conditions were dark, the behavior happened so quickly, and my settings were less than ideal. That said, I was very fortunate to capture this frame in focus documenting this unique once in a lifetime moment. Looking forward to spending more time observing this species and others in the Glaucidium genus in the coming years - they have a lot of personality and are very active hunters.

Commissar Demikovsky nannte der in der Ukraine geborene Maler Jules Olitski sein fast monochrom wirkendes Bild. Die Farbe Rot dominiert – lediglich am Rand bricht an einigen Stellen die Komplementärfarbe Grün durch. Dem von Olitski gewählten Titel nach zu urteilen, ist das Bild seinem Vater gewidmet. Dieser wurde während des russischen Bürgerkrieges und wenige Monate vor der Geburt seines Sohnes im Jahr 1922 als Bolschewik hingerichtet. Die Mutter emigrierte kurze Zeit später mit ihrem Sohn nach Amerika. Olitski erhielt seine künstlerische Ausbildung in New York und Paris. In den 1960er-Jahren begann er, Sprühflaschen für den Farbauftrag zu verwenden. Wie im Bild Commissar Demikovsky erzielte er damit Oberflächenstrukturen, die mit ihrer Zurücknahme der subjektiven Handschrift an die Programmatik der Minimal Art anschließen. Olitski gehörte zu den zentralen Vertretern der frühen Farbfeldmalerei im Kontext der sogenannten Post-Painterly Abstraction – einer Malerei, die sich gegen die gestische Malweise des Abstrakten Expressionismus richtet. 1966 wurde Jules Olitski als erstem lebendem Künstler eine Einzelausstellung im New Yorker Metropolitan Museum gewidmet. Auch wenn Olitskis in den 1960er-Jahren einsetzende Karriere bald stagnieren sollte, bezeichnete ihn der Kunstkritiker Clement Greenberg als „größten lebenden Künstler“.
Commissar Demikovsky is the title Ukraine-born painter Jules Olitski gave to this almost completely monochrome picture. The color red dominates, and some complementary green breaks through on the margins. Judging by the title Olitski chose, the picture is dedicated to his father, who was executed as a Bolshevik during the Russian civil war a few months before the birth of his son in the year 1922. A short time later he and his mother emigrated to the United States. Olitski received his art education in New York and Paris. In the 1960s he began to use spray cans to apply paint. As in the painting Commissar Demikovsky, he creates surface structures in which the subjective signature is so reduced that the work can be seen in the context of minimal art. Olitski is one of the main representatives of color-field painting in context of “post-painterly abstraction,” a style of painting that was directed against the gestural approach of abstract expressionism. In 1966 Jules Olitski was one of the first living artists to be given a show at the New York Metropolitan Museum. Even if Olitski’s career, which began in the 1960s, soon began to stagnate, art critic Clement Greenberg still called him the “greatest living artist.”

A trio of EMDs lead a mixed train north out of Proctor along the Missabe Sub through Burnett and headed toward the area of Alborn.

Let's take to the air once more for a shot of the Toledo Sub's train of the day, Q541. Power consisted of CSX 8388, CSX 4384 (still donning the Clinchfield nose art) and CSX 8315; a triplet of EMD SD40's. Not as easy to get anymore on the GE saturated railroad.
Here, CSX Q541 enters the North end of Troy, passing by the former Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton (CH&D) railroad depot just south of downtown.
Dacnis Cayana (female) on the left, Violaceous Euphonia - center - and Azure-shouldered tanager on the right. Wild and free at Sítio Espinheiro Negro, Juquitiba, São Paulo. Much better seen large.
HBW!
Have a great day!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

The Triple Islands Lighthouse is an octagonal, reinforced concrete tower measuring 23 metres (76 feet) high. It is attached to the corner of a square, three-storey, reinforced concrete structure that serves as the keepers’ dwelling and equipment building. The lighthouse is located on the northwesterly rock of a group of three islets known as the Triple Islands at the western entrance of Brown Passage. It was built in 1920 to guide marine traffic traveling from the Inside Passage to Alaska, as well as for deep-sea ships navigating to and from Prince Rupert. There is one related building on the site that contributes to the heritage character of the lighthouse
