“Small birds throw seeds out of the feeder; large birds pick them up off the ground, but the squirrels try to muscle in.”
― Lilian Jackson Braun
So the seeds are contained in a plastic cylinder and the plastic cylinder is contained in a cage. Why? To contain the seeds for the birds and keep the squirrels out. This containment is mildly successful.
I didn't spend as long as usual at Jökulsárlón on this trip, as I wanted to go all the way east to see the amazing canyon. So my trips were brief. On the first lightning stop on the way to Stafafell there was a lovely Toblerone-shaped iceberg, with some birds flitting around above. It was a foggy and rainy, truly miserable day!
The Pileated Woodpecker is one of the biggest, most striking forest birds on the continent. It's nearly the size of a crow, black with bold white stripes down the neck and a flaming-red crest.
We spent some time at Hosmer Grove, where we saw some of the exotic-looking honeycreepers of Hawaii. I think this series is of the Amakihi but am definitely open to correction by those who know Hawaiian bird species!
This is what it means when the ATIS recording says " Caution migratory bird activity" . Air Canada A320 on final with Canada Geese crossing.

Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, located in San Diego, California, is a state protected historical park in San Diego. The park preserves and recreates the old town of the city, from shortly after the Mexican War of Independence during its pueblo Alta California period beginning in 1821, through the Bear Flag Revolt, the American period, and ending in 1872, 22 years after statehood. Between 2005 and 2006, California State Parks listed Old Town San Diego as the most visited state park in California.
On September 03, 1971, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Old Town San Diego Historic District.

Randall Park Yakima, Washington. One of the few photos of an immature bird that I have that clearly show that this is a Cooper's and not a Sharp-shinned Hawk. I should probably qualify that statement by saying I am one of the few people who have trouble telling the difference. My other photos of these birds probably work for most people for identification.
