Be vulnerable
Be raw
Say how you
feel without fear
of judgement
and without
worrying about
the response.
Ask for what
you want.
When you're true
to yours by
speaking your truth
you've done all
you could do,
that's enough
peace of mind.

A masked lapwing or spur winged plover, Vanellus miles, chick that I think was less than two days old. Unfortunately, the parents did not stay very close to it so I did not get a reasonable photo of the chick and one of its parents together. Its height was less than the height of its parents knees (see next photo). I kept my distance because masked plovers will defend the chicks and they have spurs on their wings with which they could attack.
Masked lapwings do not always choose good places to nest. They have been known to nest on railway tracks. This pair probably nested on the ground in the backyard of a house. They would often go onto quite a busy road and did not stop the chick going onto the road.

I noticed these beautiful golden stalks of wheat in a field close to me so I stopped and took a couple of shots. I liked these random sunflowers sprouting up.

A beautiful and uncommon bulbul endemic to Southern India. They are found in scrub habitats around rocky hills and currently classified as "Vulnerable" in the IUCN list due to their habitats being constantly threatened. These birds are found only maybe in a dozen places across the country - all of them in South India. Many of the habitats are under "development" or damaged due to grazing or quarrying. Further, the distribution is highly fragmented making conservation a challenge.
The bird's behaviour is quite similar to the other bulbuls and physically sometimes confused with the white-browed bulbul -- especially the female - which is also found in the same habitat.
I had visited this temple on the edge of a hill that overlooks a forest. In this hot summer where temperatures are already at a record high, birds come to the water drip to grab a few drops of water. We waited there and were fortunate to see some action of these birds - catching insects and drinking water.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
My neighbor pointed out this hummingbird's nest, and I ran and got my camera. The nest was in a vulnerable location under a heavy blanket of maple leaves.
That night a violent thunderstorm moved through and knocked the nest to the ground. I found one of the eggs(about the size of a small pea) in the grass, and when I tried to pick it up, it shattered.

Considered Vulnerable by BirdLife International and only easily distinguished from the closely related and formerly conspecific Chestnut-backed Tanager (Tangara preciosa) by the black back, this species is generally poorly known, although it seems to be one the of the few tanagers to perform seasonal migrations. The species’ overall range stretches from Espírito Santo south to Rio Grande do Sul, in southeast Brazil, although there is only one definite record from the last-named state. It is largely restricted to coastal sand-plain forest and littoral scrub, and the species also visits gardens and orchards. Seasonal displacements occur in Rio de Janeiro, where its arrival coincides with the ripening of certain fruits, and the Black-backed Tanager is also more common in São Paulo during the austral winter, which season has produced all of the available records in Espírito Santo. This one was photographed in São Paulo.
Happy Friday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

In the Winter, White Squirrels have the advantage ,as they blend in with the snow on the ground and trees. Unfortunately for them, the rest of the year they stand out and are an easy target for prey. ( raptors,foxes,coyotes and domestic dogs)

The Greek Tortoise, also known commonly as the spur-thighed tortoise, is a species of tortoise in the family Testudinidae. It is one of five species of Mediterranean tortoises (genera Testudo and Agrionemys).
The Greek tortoise is a very long-lived animal, achieving a lifespan upwards of 125 years, with some unverified reports up to 200 years.
Greek tortoises are also commonly kept as pets, as they have an easy-going personality. (Wikipedia)

So interesting to see this tortoise just wandering down the trail. In Canada, at least where I live, we only have turtles.
