Entrepreneur George Lane, owned the Bar U ranch from 1902 to 1925. In 1905, Lane obtained a lease from the government for 44,000 acres, which ensured the territorial integrity of the ranch for the next 45 years. At the Bar U, Lane ran a herd of between 3,000 and 4,000 breeding cows.
George Lane and his wife were friends with Charlie Russell, the preeminent “cowboy artist” from Montana. Lane hosted Russell during the 1912 Calgary Stampede, and Russell responded by painting George Lane Attacked by Wolves, which would become the inspiration for the statue at the entrance to the visitor centre at the historic site.

A lone bird decided to join the Oystercatcher flock on Filey Brigg, giving a nice opportunity to watch it at close range.
Bar-tailed Godwits are common on sandy estuaries in winter but not common at all away from their regular coastal sites. The British population is about 50,000 in winter, but they have never bred in Britain. They breed on Arctic tundra adjacent to the Arctic Ocean from Lapland right across to Alaska but these eastern populations do not winter in Britain. Those from eastern Siberia winter in West Africa but stop off to refuel in Britain on their way back north in May. The ones from Alaska winter in New Zealand but they make the 11,000km journey without stopping and it takes them about 7 days to complete.
The names of both British Godwits were coined in 1828 by John Fleming in his History of British Animals. Prior to that Bar-tailed was known as the Common Godwit (or simply Godwit). while Black-tailed was unhelpfully called "the second sort of Godwit" by Ray (1678) then later Red or Red-breasted Godwit in the mid eighteenth century. That wasn't very helpful as both species are red in breeding plumage. Though non-breeding Black-tailed often spend the summer in Britain when they are largely red, whereas Bar-tailed don't usually over-summer here so we only see them red for a short time in spring.
Bar-tailed Godwit is another species that I have struggled to photograph previously but I managed a series of half-decent shots during my trip to Spurn on Monday. Whenever I have attempted photographs previously they have always wandered far into the estuary sandflats keeping a safe distance between us. This one is a young bird, identified by those Curlew-like feathers with pale notches, particularly at the rear end above the near-black flight feathers. Adult birds have plain edges to these feathers in winter plumage. Also you can just see the barred tail feathers nestling below the black flight feathers.
The Central Maine & Quebec's Job 2 coasts east into the growing darkness behind BAR heritage SD40-2F 9017. A late start getting out of Brownville Junction just about nixed any plans of getting more shots of the 9017 leading #2, but fortunately they were able to make Long Pond with enough light to get one shot. SD40-2F 9017 leads the 9020, and CEFX GP38-3 6537 with 28 cars.

Dublin (Irish: Baile Átha Cliath) is the capital and largest city of Ireland. It is on the east coast of Ireland, in the province of Leinster, at the mouth of the River Liffey, and is bordered on the south by the Wicklow Mountains. It has an urban area population of 1,173,179, while the population of the Dublin Region (formerly County Dublin), as of 2016, was 1,347,359, and the population of the Greater Dublin area was 1,904,806.
There is archaeological debate regarding precisely where Dublin was established by the Gaels in or before the 7th century AD. Later expanded as a Viking settlement, the Kingdom of Dublin, the city became Ireland's principal settlement following the Norman invasion. The city expanded rapidly from the 17th century and was briefly the second largest city in the British Empire before the Acts of Union in 1800. Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, Dublin became the capital of the Irish Free State, later renamed Ireland.
Dublin is a historical and contemporary centre for education, the arts, administration and industry. As of 2018 the city was listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a global city, with a ranking of "Alpha −", which places it amongst the top thirty cities in the world.
