Gewone melba
(Pytilia melba)
Female
The green-winged pytilia (Pytilia melba) is a common species of estrildid finch found in Africa. It has an estimated global extent of occurrence of 6,000,000 square kilometres (2,300,000 sq mi).
It is widespread throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, though it is more rarely seen in central, far southern and coastal western parts of the continent. It has two subspecies groups, nominate melba in the south and the northerly citerior, which are sometimes treated as separate species. Usually, additional subspecies are recognized within these two groups.
Origin and phylogeny has been obtained by Antonio Arnaiz-Villena et al. Estrildinae may have originated in India and dispersed thereafter (towards Africa and Pacific Ocean habitats).

The spur-winged lapwing or spur-winged plover (Vanellus spinosus) is a lapwing species, one of a group of largish waders in the family Charadriidae.
It is one of several species of wader supposed to be the "trochilus" bird said by Herodotus to have been involved in an unattested cleaning symbiosis with the Nile crocodile.
The spur-winged lapwing breeds around the eastern Mediterranean, and in a wide band from sub-Saharan west Africa to Arabia. The Greek and Turkish breeders are migratory, but other populations are resident. The species is declining in its northern range, but is abundant in much of tropical Africa, being seen at almost any wetland habitat in its range. The spur-winged lapwing is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
These are conspicuous and unmistakable birds. They are medium-large waders with black crown, chest, foreneck stripe and tail. The face, the rest of the neck and belly are white and the wings and back are light brown. The bill and legs are black. Its striking appearance is supplemented by its noisy nature, with a loud did-he-do-it call. The bird's common name refers to a small claw or spur hidden in each of its wings.
This species has a preference for marshes and similar freshwater wetland habitats. The food of the spur-winged lapwing is insects and other invertebrates, which are picked from the ground.
It lays two blotchy yellowish eggs on a ground scrape. The spur-winged lapwing is known to sometimes use the wing-claws in an attack on animals and, rarely, people, who get too close to the birds' exposed offspring.

Airmen from the 128th Air Refueling Wing and Wisconsin National Guard Soldiers were part of an extensive color guard. Wisconsin National Guard photo by Vaughn R. Larson
i have never seen as many dragonflies as at dog lake in tuolumne meadows. there were mainly red (bigger) and blue (thinner) ones, but other kinds as well. they were very easy to scare, but since there were so many, there were still plenty of opportunities to try to capture some of those winged beauties. i am usually not a big fan of insects, but for some reason i cannot explain, dragonflies are one of the few exceptions.
Gov. Scott Walker, First Lady Tonette Walker, Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, adjutant general of Wisconsin, and John Scocos, secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, light the Christmas tree in the state Capitol building Friday (Dec. 2). The governor dedicated the tree-lighting ceremony to 163 years of Wisconsin military veterans. State veterans from World War II, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom were recognized during the ceremony. Some of the decorations were made by Wisconsin 3rd and 4th grade students, and historical Christmas cards were donated by the Wisconsin Veterans Museum. Members of the St. John's Military Academy performed instrumental and choral works. Wisconsin National Guard photo by 1st Sgt. Vaughn R. Larson
