A bracing stroll in the sun and the surf on a blustery December morning on the Northumberland coast (UK) (6957)
UP's Potash Local exits Gold Bar canyon as it heads north on the Potash Branch. The hiking trail in the foreground leads to Corona Arch which overlooks the only tunnel on the line, but that will have to wait for another day.
Distant storm clouds stayed over the mountains while I enjoyed the sand bars in the Bear Lake Outlet Canal after sundown.
This Bar-Tailed Godwit did not make it from its home in Alaska to New Zealand. It stopped here in the SF Bay Area for some reason unknown to all of us. But normally each fall, migratory flocks take flight from western Alaska nonstop for over 10,000 km (6,000 miles) until they reach their nonbreeding grounds in New Zealand and Australia.
Needless to say it's a rare bird here and many birders from all over come to find it and take its photo.
Another fascinating tidbit is that they digest parts of their own organs as part of an incredible adaptation for their long, non-stop migration. They absorb up to 25% of the tissue from their liver, kidneys, and digestive tract to make room for extra fat and to reduce weight. This process, called autophagy, allows the organs to be rebuilt once the birds arrive at their destination.
ودي أموت اليوم .. وأعيش باجر
وأشوف منهو بعد موتي فقدني
ومنهو حملني اللين ذيك المقابر
وأشكر كل من كرمني ودفني
وشخص تعنالي معنه مسافر
وشخص قريب للأسف ما ذكرني
ومنهو يرتب غرفتي والدفاتر
ولي شاف صوره لي صاح وحضني

BAR 95 leads a dogs breakfast of flares along the Canisteo RIver at Browns Crossing, NY on January 28, 1989. You never knew what the next D&H train would have for power back then.
Two more photos of the bar-tailed godwit in the harbour at St Ives. It's experiences like this that make me realise why I love wildlife photography!
Melbourne CBD from 405 Bourke Street. The effect is made more abstract and dramatic in that every second pane of glass in the curtain wall is fluted.
This is a cropped section of an image from this weeks adventure in Bentonville. Like much of the country lately, it was very windy.

Widespread in summer across northern Europe and Asia, this godwit also crosses the Bering Strait to nest in western Alaska. Big, noisy, and cinnamon-colored, it is conspicuous on its tundra nesting grounds. Bar-tailed Godwits from Alaska spend the winter in the Old World.
