The loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) is a passerine bird in the family Laniidae. It is one of two members of the shrike family endemic to North America; the related northern shrike (L. borealis) occurs north of its range. It is nicknamed the butcherbird after its carnivorous tendencies, as it consumes prey such as amphibians, insects, lizards, small mammals and small birds, and some prey end up displayed and stored at a site, for example in a tree. Due to its small size and weak talons, this predatory bird relies on impaling its prey upon thorns or barbed wire for facilitated consumption. The numbers of loggerhead shrike have significantly decreased in recent years, especially in Midwestern, New England and Mid-Atlantic areas.

Loggerhead Shrikes eat insects and other arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, and birds; they also sometimes feed on roadkill and carrion. Their staple foods include agricultural pests such as grasshoppers, beetles and rodents. Insects generally dominate the Loggerhead Shrike’s diet during breeding season, while winter brings a greater reliance on vertebrate prey. These include lizards, snakes, frogs, turtles, sparrows, goldfinches, ground squirrels, voles, mice, and shrews, to name just a few.

But I can't be in the same room as you without losing my breath

And every time you look at me

feels like my heart stops

Trying to play hard and resist

But you tear down my walls

I don't know what you're doing

But everything you do makes me weak

(sorry for the Swedish language)

Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.

With their nocturnal habit and owl-like appearance, Tawny Frogmouths are often confused with owls, but are actually more closely related to the nightjars. Their feet are weak however, and lack the curved talons of owls.

The Tawny Frogmouth is found throughout Australia.

The bulk of the Tawny Frogmouth's diet is made up of nocturnal insects, worms, slugs and snails. Small mammals, reptiles, frogs and birds are also eaten. Most food is obtained by pouncing to the ground from a tree or other elevated perch."

♫A Perfect Circle - Weak and Powerless

"The devil has my ear today

I'll never hear a word you say

He promised I would find a little solace

And some piece of mind

Whatever just as long as I don't feel so

Desperate and ravenous

I'm so weak and powerless

Desperate and ravenous

I'm so weak and powerless

Over you..."

“The moon is a loyal companion.

It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.

Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”

I get lost in your eyes

And I feel my spirits rise

And soar like the wind

Oh is it love that I am in?

I get weak in a glance

Isn’t this what’s called romance?

And now I know

‘Cause when I’m lost, I can’t let go

I don’t mind not knowing what I’m headed for

You can take me to the skies

It’s like being lost in heaven

When I’m lost in your eyes

I just fell, don’t know why

Something’s there, we can’t deny

And when I first knew

Was when I first looked at you

And if I can’t find my way

…find my way

If salvation seems worlds away

Oh, I’ll be found

When I am lost in your eyes...

“The weakest ones are the wickedest cruel

When the strongest ones in gentleness rule!”

For those interested in the little Red Hartebeest that was in my previous shot...sadly this is how it looked before it took that leap...

I'm closing off comments on this shot, it's not a good photo at all...merely to show you what I meant when I said it didn't look robust

The days are getting shorter, the sunlight weaker. I sit outside and enjoy the delicate rays of sun on my face, like this still green leaf.

Die Tage werden kürzer, das Sonnenlicht schwächer. Ich sitze draußen und genieße die zarten Sonnenstrahlen auf meinem Gesicht, genauso wie dieses noch grüne Blatt.

Perhaps too many clouds this morning for these peak colors to fully establish. Still being in the desert at sunrise is always a special moment.

Picture of the Day

“After the rain, the sun will reappear.

There is life. After the pain, the joy will still be here.” – the Walt Disney Company

I am plagued with weak lungs owing to many years of constant childhood illnesses, and as a result, if I am unlucky enough to catch your cold, I usually end up with pneumonia or a nasty chest infection at best. I was recovering from one such unpleasant chest infection after a period of prolonged ill health. A very dear friend who loves photography as much as I do, decided that I needed to be taken out of myself, go somewhere and reconnect with what I found joyful in life, so she took me to the top of Mount Macedon in the Macedon Ranges in central Victoria for a photography afternoon. It was a bitterly cold day, made even more so by the wind and the altitude, but we were very well rugged up against the bitter wind. It rained on and off. However, the trip was a wonderful one: just what I needed to help lift my flagging spirits, and the day afforded us a beautiful and striking sunset over the valley far below. Using the sunset as an analogy, my friend told me that my poor health would pass, just like a winter rainstorm, and that the sun would reappear. She was right, my health troubles did dissipate like a shower of rain, and a few weeks later, the sun shone in my life again. Now I am healthy and well, and I have happy, sunny days once more.

The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 1st of February is "sky". Now I am not a sky watcher, like my friend who took me out to Mount Macedon that day is – always looking for that perfect elusive sunset – however I am captivated by the sky and clouds on occasion when they present something beautiful, dramatic or both! I do hope you like my choice of image from the top of Mount Macedon for the theme this week, and that like me, it makes you smile too!

''...And so this is Xmas

For weak and for strong

For rich and the poor ones

The road is so long

And so happy Xmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear...''

I feel pleasantly old and stupid, deciding

not to worry about who I am but how I spend

my days, until I tear in the weak places

like a thin, worn sheet. Back in my room

I can't hear the river passing like time,

or the moon emerging from the shadow of earth,

but I can see the water that never repeats itself.

It's very difficult to look at the World

and into your heart at the same time.

In between, a life has passed.

A common woodpecker often sighted in and around thick woody area, forests or areas with lots of canopy. They are often seen in pair. The males have a red crown. We watched her peck a large tree and scrape some bark - maybe there was an insect / grub there.

We heard this Woodpecker first - the gentle tapping - just like the brown capped woodpecker. The tapping is done for many reasons such as making hollows for nests, but mostly to identify weak parts / gaps in the branch / stem which will probably have insects in them.

Thanks in advance for your view / feedback / comments.

Gosh the sun has been so rare during this winter season and even when it does show itself, it is more often a weak affair and of short duration.
