The scarlet-rumped tanager (ramphocelus passerinii) is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder in the Caribbean lowlands from southern Mexico to western Panama.
Species was renamed to Passerini's Tanager. Passerini's tanagers occur in pairs, small groups, or as part of a mixed-species feeding flock, and up to a dozen birds may roost together in dense thickets at night.
This species feeds on certain small fruit, usually swallowed whole, insects and spiders.

Reddish Egret
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "Threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.
Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons and have the same build.

From Wiki: The scarlet-rumped tanager (Ramphocelus passerinii) is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder in the Caribbean lowlands from southern Mexico to western Panama. This species was formerly known as the scarlet-rumped tanager, but was renamed to Passerini's Tanager after Carlo Passerini, a professor at the Museum of Zoology of the University of Florence, when the distinctive form found on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and Panama was reclassified as a separate species, the Cherrie's tanager, Ramphocelus costaricensis. While most authorities had accepted this split, there were notable exceptions (e.g. the Howard and Moore checklist). It was renamed back to the scarlet-rumped tanager in 2018 when Cherrie's Tanager was lumped back into the species.

Identification Tips
To identify the lesser kestrel, look for the absence of dark talons, a feature unique to this species, with their talons being a distinctive whitish-horn colour. However, this is only noticeable at very close range. The male's lack of dark spotting on the back and the absence of a black malar stripe are also key identification markers.
The female and young birds are paler than their common kestrel counterparts, and their call—a harsh "chay-chay-chay"—is distinct from the common kestrel's "kee-kee-kee."

Coal Tit - Periparus ater
Double click!
The coal tit (Periparus ater) is a small passerine bird in the tit family, Paridae. It is a widespread and common resident breeder throughout temperate to subtropical Eurasia and northern Africa. The black-crested tit is now usually included in this species.
There are afew different subspecies of the coal tit, those being the British, North African and continental ones. They are most commonly found throughout Europe and Russia in coniferous forests and trees.
The coal tit is an all-year resident throughout almost all range, making only local movements in response to particularly severe weather; only the Siberian birds have a more regular migration.
Coal tits will form small flocks in winter with other tits. This species resembles other tits in acrobatic skill and restless activity, though it more frequently pitches on a trunk, and in little hops resembles a treecreeper (Certhia). Its food is similar to that of the others; it is keen on beechmast, picks out the seeds from fir (Abies) and larch (Larix) cones, and joins Carduelis redpolls and siskins in alders (Alnus) and birches (Betula). It will also visit gardens to feed on a variety of foods put out, particularly sunflower seeds.
Being common and widespread, the coal tit is not considered a threatened species by the
The coal tit has the dubious distinction of having the largest number of bird fleas (Ceratophyllus gallinae) reported from a single nest, 5,754 fleas.
A favourite nesting site is a hole in a rotting tree-stump, often low down, and the nest is deep within the hole; holes in the ground, burrows of mice or rabbits, chinks between the stones in walls, old nests of Pica magpies or other large birds, and squirrel dreys are also occupied. The materials, moss, hair and grass, are closely felted together, and rabbit fur or feathers added for lining. Seven to eleven red-spotted white eggs are laid, usually in May; this species breeds usually once per year.

In general, burgundy snails are fasted for about 5 days. During this period and depending on the breeder, the animals will be fed only water, white wine or aromatic herbs such as watercress, parsley and chives.
Wikipedia: The chestnut-headed bee-eater (Merops leschenaulti), or bay-headed bee-eater, is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family Meropidae. It is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent and adjoining regions, ranging from India east to Southeast Asia.
Roseate Spoonbill
The Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja) - sometimes placed in its own genus Ajaja - is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family, Threskiornithidae. It is a resident breeder in South America mostly east of the Andes, and in coastal regions of the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and from central Florida's Atlantic coast at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, adjoined with NASA Kennedy Space Center at least as far north as South Carolina's Huntington Beach State Park.

For more than 2,000 years, Lakota (Sioux) elders have been passing the legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman to younger generations and the birth of a white buffalo was hailed as a great event. For 2,000 years, white buffalo were exceedingly rare.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s cattle breeders crossed cows and buffalo, introducing a gene for white hair to buffalo. Today, 3 buffalo herds are known in which all of the buffalo are white.
In South Park, CO, a herd has about 6 white buffalo.

Also known as Rough Tree Frog, Thai Bug-eyed Frog, or Spiny Wart Frog. An uncommon and cryptic frog in Malaysia. Its coloration and skin texture mimic tree bark making it perfectly camouflage.
Location: Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia.
Habitat: Lowland forest
Sighting: Uncommon
This species is a phytothelm breeder: tadpoles develop in treeholes (Frogs of Borneo). The frog lays its eggs in a frothy nest approximately 0.5 m above small bodies of water collected in tree holes or in cavities between tree root buttresses(Figueroa & Selveindran, 2011). A predominantly arboreal lifestyle high up in the trees could explain the rare sightings of these frogs (Frogs of Borneo).
The call of Theloderma horridum has been described as “low grunts or croaks, uttered singly at intervals” (Boulenger, 1903: 140), and can aid in future detection of the species

PALE MANDIBLED ARAÇARI Pteroglossus erythropygius. This Pale-mandibled Araçari is perching on a limb about 4 meters away from the nest hole with an insect in the tip of its bill. Shortly after this photo was taken, the araçari visited the nest to deliver the insect to young inside the nest cavity. The nest is in a large tree on a mountainside just south of Mindo in northwestern Ecuador and the photo was taken at 10:40 AM on August 20, 2019.
Species that are cooperative breeders have adult offspring from a previous clutch of eggs that act as helpers in that they help their parents to raise their siblings. The helpers bring food to the nest and may also help to guard it from predators.
At this nest we could hear what sounded like multiple young in the nest but the adults feeding them inserted their heads almost completely into the nest cavity to give the young food indicating that the young at this date were still relatively small.
At one point we sighted three adults simultaneously, each with food in its bill, waiting to deliver the food to the young. And four adults were seen at one time either with food in their bill or perched within 30 meters or so of the nest hole. Food delivered included fruit and insects.
The Pale-mandibled Araçari belongs to the family Ramphastidae and is found in western Ecuador and Perú. It is considered by some workers to be a subspecies of the COLLARED ARAÇARI Pteroglossus torquatus erythropygius.
Un Arasari Piquipálido Pteroglossus erythropygius está perchado en una rama a eso de 4 metros de su nido con un insecto en la punta del pico en un árbol grande en la faldas de una montaña al sur de Mindo en el noroccidente de Ecuador a las 10 y 40 de la mañana el 20 de agosto de 2019. Poco después, el arasari entregó el insecto a los jovenes en el nido.

The Brown Wood Owl is a resident breeder in south Asia from India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka east to western Indonesia and south China. This owl is medium large (45-57 cm), with upperparts uniformly dark brown, with faint white spotting on the shoulders.
The Brown Wood Owl is a shy, nocturnal bird. During the daytime it roosts in a dark, densely foliaged tree. If disturbed, it will compress itself into a shape resembling a stub of wood, while watching through half-closed eyes. If this fails, it will fly off silently.
This owl feeds on small mammals such as rats, mice and shrews. It will also take small birds, frogs and reptiles.
This example is 18-month-old Wicket who resides at the Secret Owl Garden in Pembrokeshire.

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet, one of North America's smallest songbirds, has a loud, complex song and, with up to 12 eggs, lays the largest clutch of any North American passerine for its size. Males and females are nearly identical in plumage -- olive green-gray on the upperparts with two strong white wing-bars and a broken, white eye-ring. The male has a scarlet crown patch, which is usually concealed unless agitated.
During migration and winter, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet occupies a variety of habitats and is often recognized by its constant wing-flicking. As a breeder, it inhabits spruce-fir forests of the northern and mountainous western United States and Canada. Its nest is hidden, often near the trunk and up to 30 meters above the ground, making reproductive data difficult to gather. Much remains to be learned about the breeding biology and behavior of this species.

I love photographing horses, not the easiest to do, there are standards, but with the help of the breeders it usually becomes a very pleasant and exciting experience.
Here was a fortuitous moment, as a photographer, yes you have to focus on the main subject and there is MUCH to think about and concentrate on, but as a creative you stay aware of what is going on around you, and these 'off' images often become my favourite shots...
One of the horses I had photographed was taken back, so this was one of those 'in-between' moments...
This is the mother in the family that breeds horses, it is tough and yet rewarding.
They witness the birth and tend to the foals with love and yet when they lose one, they are quite stoic about it...
Such tenderness, closeness, emotion, just HAD to be captured.
I wish you all the very best and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments and faves.
Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

A bespectacled man checks out the head of a pure red fighting cock after doing his routine work of feeding all his chickens.
A cockfighting aficionado, this guy started his fighting cock breeding project with just two hens and two roosters, all half-breed Texas. And it was on a small backyard of her older sister.
Later on, he was able to borrow a sizable portion of a vacant lot from his distant relative, which he eventually turned, by his own efforts, into a breeding farm (which is partly shown here). After less than a year, the number of his chickens has increased tenfold, which is now 20 hens and 18 roosters, and he said that he expects it will further increase in the weeks and months ahead.

Magnolia × soulangeana (saucer magnolia) is a hybrid plant in the genus Magnolia and family Magnoliaceae. It is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming flowers in various shades of white, pink, and purple. It is one of the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture, being widely planted in the British Isles, especially in the south of England; and in the United States, especially the east and west coasts.
Magnolia × soulangeana was initially bred by French plantsman Étienne Soulange-Bodin (1774–1846), a retired cavalry officer in Napoleon's army, at his château de Fromont near Paris. He crossed Magnolia denudata with M. liliiflora in 1820, and was impressed with the resulting progeny's first precocious flowering in 1826.
From France, the hybrid quickly entered cultivation in England and other parts of Europe, and also North America. Since then, plant breeders in many countries have continued to develop this magnolia, and over a hundred named horticultural varieties (cultivars) are now known.

Red-necked Grebes are incredibly rare breeders in Britain, but are scarce winter visitors from their European breeding grounds. They usually winter on the south and east coasts of Britain but they are never common. Atlas data suggests about 50 to 60 birds regularly winter in Britain. Usually they are some distance offshore but if you are lucky they stray to inland waterbodies, like this first winter individual that is still present today in Roundhay Park in Leeds.
The field guides suggest that the confusion species for non-breeding Red-necked Grebe is Great Crested Grebe, because they are large and usually hold their stout necks upright. But when they are hunkered down like this, they remind me of a Little Grebe on steroids. Here's a non-breeding Little Grebe to illustrate the point: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/51750241958/in/photolist A bit of a size difference I know, but when you look at photos with nothing for scale there is a resemblance.
