There are bike lanes on all the main streets in Amsterdam. You not only have to watch for cars, but the bicycles too!

In Florida, people very often mistake the double-crested
cormorant for the anhinga, as they are both swimming birds.
A good way to differentiate; the anhinga has a 'straight-bill'
and the double-crested cormorant has a 'hooked-bill'.

The next pair of F59PHs destined for a return to Toronto (GOTX 582 & GOTX 583) sit in EXO's Pointe St-Charles Yard last Friday afternoon as CN 527 heads east on the main line. This pair should be leaving Montreal shortly. Further at right is wrecked EXO 1346.
"Now I have to go back to school tomorrow and it will probably be a stressfull time for the both of us. I am going to leave my popper device with you. If you are feeling frustrated because of the sadness, push down on a bubble. Keep doing it until you feel better. If the sadness and worry are still hanging on, look out the window and stare at the clouds. Clouds are good listeners even if your words are hidden deep inside."

Fantastic background of Neva River.
A lot more rainbows are captured now we all have good cameras on phones on us! Two iPhone SE images stitched together (on phone with Autostitch) and processed in Snapseed (on phone). Colour saturation has not been boosted!
This Woodpecker was formerly called the Arctic Woodpecker or Black-backed Three-toed Woodpecker. It does have only three toes which is a characteristic it shares with the American Three-toed Woodpecker (Picoides dorsalis) which can also be found here. This one is a female. I added a recent shot of a male in the first comment box for comparison. Note the yellow crown.
This species eats mainly wood-boring insects which it obtains by scaling bark from trees to expose the holes created by those insects. If you look to the left of the bird, you can see the exposed boring holes in the area where the bark was removed. The Woodpecker inserts its long barbed tongue to extract a meal.
We usually find these ones by listening for the irregular tapping and tearing sounds created by the scaling activity. Falling bark chips are also a good tell.
This is how Lee and I found this one today.
