He was attempting to pull the stick loose with his mouth and foot. Apparently the stick was too tangled. He left without the stick.

Tachycineta bicolor,
San Luis Obispo Co., California
The two at left inspected the pipe they were perched on, I assume considering it as a potential nesting site. (Think about that!) Meanwhile there were several other Tree Swallows flying over the pond and the one at far right landed near the pair. Not welcome at all.
Tourists in boat by playful dolphin in the Strait of Hormuz, between Qeshm and Hengam islands, Persian Gulf, Iran. I never imagined such fascinating fauna and beautifully colored waters could be found in the Strait of Hormuz, a place the news headlines lead one to associate with constant negativity :)

Hope you like it!!

California Quail have an interesting behavior before mating…the male jumps around the female while she lays on the ground and he pushes his beak into her back a number of times before doing the deed. Birds.
took it on the same day with "foibles", so you can see some sort of similar mood here.
that was a pretty hot day. i was sweating,so hair could be sticked easily.
Mating Behavior
Once mature, a male dragonfly or damselfly establishes a territory from which he chases other males. When on territory, he produces packets of sperm called spermatophores at the tip of his abdomen (tenth segment), reaches the tip forward and places the spermatophores in a depression on the lower surface of the second abdominal segment.
With his sperm receptacle filled, the male flies out and grasps a female's head with his clasping genitalia at the abdominal tip. Each species' male genitalia fit the head of only the female of that species. (Slaty Skimmer Clamped in Tandem.) In some dragonflies and damselflies, the shape of the male genitalia is the most constant and accurate identifier of the insect's species.
Once the male has grasped a female, they fly in tandem for some time (Swamp Spreadwing in Tandem). The male usually flies while the female rests. Rarely, the female will fly while the male rests. It is unusual for both odonates to be flying at the same time.After some time, the female reaches the tip of her abdomen below her body and grasps the male's second segment to pick up the spermatophores he placed there. During this process, called the wheel formation, the two dragonflies take on a circular or heart-shaped pose. The two may stay in the wheel formation for upwards of fifteen minutes before the female releases and returns to the tandem position.

A great blue heron was constructing a nest this morning at Loxahatchee NWR in Boynton Beach, FL. This was not the largest piece of nesting material that he brought, but the wingspan here was appealing to me.

According to the Audubon, they eat conifer seeds, also some berries, insects. This one was eating the very small red insert.
"Your behavior, Jyn Erso, is continually unexpected." - K-2SO
As the battle in the sky and space above Scarif rages, Jyn, Cassian, and K-2SO arrive at the Imperial data vault. K2 stays outside the vault to help the others find the correct data file, and to fend off Imperial troopers. Before leaving, Jyn hands the droid a blaster, which takes him completely off-guard, considering how he protested at Jyn's possession of a blaster when they first met. Cassian also contacts Bodhi to ask him to ask the Rebel fleet to take down the shield gate above Scarif, so that they can transmit the Death Star plans once they have been found.
I hate the semi-annual process of clock change. Don't like how it messes with my circadian rhythms or the mental grogginess it causes (even more than my usual state). But I especially dislike leaving daylight saving time. At this point in the year, sunset is already occurring much too early for my liking. To have the sun setting one hour earlier just cements the feeling of anxiety about re-entering the dark part of the year. It's not the cold of winter that gets to me; it's the massive decrease in the quantity and quality of sunlight. The root of it is a primordial fear of darkness. Nightfall is the perfect breeding ground for the unknown. Easy enough to put that aside on lazy summer nights with their slow rolling, lemonade-sipping sunsets. But November sees darkness crashing down, not just early, but as swiftly as sudden death. And the abruptness of the autumn clock change only worsens a bad situation.
Late afternoon now is very deceptive. Everything at first seems normal until the shadows lengthen and the sun begins to crowd the horizon. Yet still there's enough brightness in the sky to make me believe darkness is still a long way off. Oddly I get this recurrent sense of false hope every day for at least a couple of weeks after the clock change. And every day hope is dashed as darkness envelopes the landscape, each day sooner than the last. Body and mind reluctantly adjust, however it's an uncomfortable process.
One of my many odd rituals is to remain outdoors during sunset on the last night of daylight saving time. I love the idea of experiencing firsthand the final twilight of the bright phase of the year. There's an aspect of facing one's fears in this I suppose. But like many rituals, the original intent is lost or at least muddled over the years of repetition. Anyway it's as breathtaking now as it ever was, and even more so when skies are clear. This year I gathered up a Jack-O-Lantern which I carved especially for this moment and headed off into a clearing in the woods about a half hour before sunset. I lit the candle and just sat down to absorb the atmosphere. The approach of darkness can be felt as much as observed. It felt like weight pressing down on me as the temperature began to dip and color began to fade from the landscape. The color goes first, then shadows replace texture. And soon there's nothing left but soft glow on the horizon in the direction the sun recently occupied. Less than an hour to watch it all slip away.

The male in many songbird species will often feed the female in courtship prior to breeding. Male cardinals will feed the female while she is incubating. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

A Cham shepherdess at work in south central Vietnam. The Cham people are a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority group who live mostly in south central Vietnam. They are descendants of Austronesian people who arrived in Vietnam by boat from Sumatra, Borneo, and the Malay peninsula. The Champa Kingdom flourished in this part of Vietnam for millenia until they were conquered by the Kinh people (descendants of modern day Vietnamese). Today most Cham people make their livelihood in fishing and agriculture, including the raising of sheep.
Cooperative Feeding?
I watched a mixed flock of more than twenty snowy egrets and yellowlegs in a line executing a fascinating and apparently coordinated feeding strategy at Bombay Hook.
The behavior may have been coincidental, but it appeared to be intentional and was repeated many times. One group would feed in a line, then the second group would fly over them and land just ahead of them to feed. They appeared to be shepherding a huge shoal of tiny fish into very shallow water on the mudflats.
